The Short Answer

Is Frameology better than Mpix Photo Lab?

Mpix is a photo lab that also sells wall art. Frameology is a framing company first, and it shows in both the products and the price. Frameology offers framed gallery walls, an AR preview of products you’re interested in on your actual wall, and guest checkout — none of which Mpix currently provides. Mpix runs a tiered rewards system where 100 points equals $1 and new members start at 1% cash back, while Frameology gives 5% cash back on every order after sign-up, with no tiers or minimums.

Mpix runs its rewards on points, where 100 points equals $1, meaning their 100-point sign-up bonus comes out to $1 off your next purchase. Frameology gives you $10 off your next purchase plus 5% cash back on every order.

Why Frameology Wins

Where Frameology pulls ahead

Beyond the price difference, these are the features that set Frameology apart.

True AR room preview

Frameology lets you hold up your phone and see exactly how your piece will look on your actual wall before you buy. Mpix doesn’t offer an AR preview.

No login wall to buy

Mpix requires you to create or log into an account before you can check out. Frameology lets you browse, customize, and buy as a guest, with no forced account login.

Bigger rewards in dollars, not points

Frameology gives 5% cash back on every single order. Mpix runs a tiered points program that starts at 1 point per $1 and reaches 4 points per $1 at the highest tier (about 4% back maximum).

A referral program worth more

Frameology’s referral gives your friend $15 and gets you $15 back. Mpix gives your friend a $10 coupon and returns 1,000 points — equivalent to $10.
