Pics.io review

Pics.io stands out because it can sit on top of storage you already pay for. Every plan can use Bring Your Own Storage on Google Drive or Amazon S3, with no storage fees, or Pics.io's own storage. Solo costs $100 a month on monthly billing only and includes one user, 10 sharing links and basic integrations and analytics, so it suits a single brand manager. Teams will look at Micro, at $250 a month or $225 a month paid annually, which covers 10+ users and adds sharing portals with unlimited guest users who can search and comment, an upload inbox, version control, custom fields, commenting, roles and permissions and 24/7 support. Small, at $800 a month for 50+ users, adds branding, watermarking, metadata replication and the API. AI is sold separately as the AI Kit, which covers transcription, auto-tagging, face recognition, image captioning, visual search and AI video summaries. Watermarks and branding arriving only on Small is a drawback for brand teams.
