Differences that matter
Main reasons to choose TwicPics
Do you prefer a performance-focused solution?
Both Sirv and TwicPics perform real-time pixel-perfect responsive image resizing. They both understand the web page CSS context and carry all the necessary transformations automatically.
Sirv started in 2007 as an embeddable Zoom Viewer for ecommerce images, but now offers a much broader range of functions.
TwicPics is a specialized solution that has always been focused on web image best practices. It delivers a better performance at a lower cost. TwicPics is also more developer-oriented.
Do you really need a DAM?
With Sirv, you have to store your images on their Digital Asset Management tool. This results in a locked-up environnement and a higher price tag.
TwicPics offers greater flexibility (and a scalable Pay as you Go plan). You’re free to choose any image hosting: your server, your cloud service or any DAM of your choice. TwicPics can process and optimize them from anywhere. Don't pay for a storage you don't need!
