Comparison
Hosted vs building your own gallery script
Some photographers consider building or self-hosting a gallery solution using open-source scripts or cloud storage. Here is an honest comparison.
Hosted (Galerly)
- No server setup, SSL certificates, or maintenance
- Client-facing gallery available on the same day you sign up
- Built-in favorites, comments, and download controls
- Scales with your storage needs, upgrade when ready
Self-hosted or DIY
- Requires server setup, domain, SSL, and ongoing maintenance
- No built-in client interaction features unless you build them
- Time and technical knowledge required before your first gallery is live

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the Galerly free plan really free forever?
Yes. The Galerly Free plan has no time limit. It is not a trial. You keep 5 GB of storage, unlimited galleries, client favorites, and downloads as long as your account is active. No payment required.
Do clients need to create an account to view a gallery?
No. Clients open the gallery link directly in their browser without signing up. You can optionally require an email address for access tracking or add a password for additional privacy.
Can I have client favorites on the free plan?
Yes. Client favorites and single or bulk downloads are included on the Free plan. There is no watermark on delivered galleries at any plan level.
Is there a trial period before I need to pay?
The free plan is permanent: it is the baseline, not a trial. Upgrade to a paid plan only when you need more storage, galleries, or features.
