PixoProof vs Safe Frame
A Safe Frame alternative clients can open on iPhone, Android or the web
Both protect previews in a mobile app. PixoProof adds screenshot alerts, a free plan and the choice of web viewing per gallery. Here is an honest side-by-side.
Safe Frame (safeframepro.com), the gallery app, not Google’s SafeFrame ad technology.
In short
The main differences
- Safe Frame galleries are viewed only in its MySafeFrame app, which its App Store listing marks as iPhone only. PixoProof galleries open in the iOS or Android app, and you can allow web viewing per gallery.
- On iOS, Safe Frame says it detects screenshot attempts and hides the images. PixoProof hides gallery photos from iOS screenshots and recordings and alerts you when a client takes a screenshot.
- Safe Frame has no free plan (7-day trial). Every PixoProof plan, including Free, has every feature.
- Safe Frame can take orders and payments in the gallery. PixoProof has no built-in store.
