I agree, the two sites are very different and like Doug Tygar said one is more professional oriented than the other one.The only problem is that with some of these sites you can’t get your pictures back after your subscription expires!!! That is why now I want to make sure that if I decide to stop my subscription I could get all my photo in their original sizes.

I’ve since done my own review here: Smugmug vs. Flickr

If you haven’t signed up already there is a link that you can use to save $5 (and I save $10) on the annual subscription price.

Outstanding! I’ll be giving smugmug a real trial and writing more about it soon! It might even eventually replace our gallery installation!

Forgot to mention that I found a site that compares to two.

I too have both. Since Yahoo just bought Flickr the price has dropped dramatically. Currently my photos are synchronized on both. Smugmug seems more professional to me, while Flickr seems more of a hip/cool site. I like Smugmug’s organization while Flickr seems to have a better community. I also like the ability to send a photo and description directly to a blog in Flickr.

I think that smugmug is for people who are serious about photography. (By the way, upload capacity is unlimited in smugmug, it is is download capacity that is capped).

But flickr is great for its community and sharing cameraphone shots, etc.

I have an account on both, and am moving everything to smugmug from flickr.

Let me know what you decide. I need to figure something out. I’m not that concerned about the social network aspect, I just want to be able to print to Shutterfly.

We’re still listening! I think Flickr has a better UI, which is worth the extra price. And there are the network effects of being on the same service as most of your friends/colleagues. Not to mention that Flickr is “cool” these days.
