Colara vs Pic-Time
Wedding Operations Alongside a Premium Gallery Platform
Pic-Time is a client-gallery and sales platform with gallery design, photo and video delivery, print stores, marketing automations, album proofing, slideshows, blogs, and AI tools including image filtering, watermark protection, search, and album design on eligible plans. Colara focuses on the shared planning and live operational record before and during the wedding.
Pricing comparison
Colara: The core CRM is $0/month forever with unlimited leads and clients, proposals, contracts, invoices, scheduling, questionnaires, and a branded client portal. Paid plans, which add the wedding workspace, start at $49/month for planners and $39/month for photographers.
Pic-Time: Free plan; paid plans are $7, $21, or $42/mo billed annually, or $8, $25, or $50/mo billed monthly.
The verdict
Pic-Time is a strong gallery and commerce platform with meaningful AI capabilities. Colara's role is different: one operational wedding record connecting the business, couple, planner, photographer, vendors, and wedding day.

Frequently asked questions
Does Pic-Time have AI features? Yes. Pic-Time advertises AI image filtering, watermark protection, smart search, and automatic album design on eligible plans. Those are gallery and delivery capabilities rather than wedding timeline generation.
Does Colara replace Pic-Time? Not necessarily. Pic-Time is deeper for gallery presentation, print sales, and album workflows; Colara connects planning, professional operations, the wedding team, and live execution.
