Head-to-Head Comparison
Two power-user favorites, both reshaped in the last year: 17hats collapsed to one $60/mo plan, and Tave became VSCO Workspace at $499.99/yr. Verified August 2026 pricing.
17hats now sells a single all-inclusive plan — $60/mo, $600/yr, or $800 for two years — covering leads, quotes, contracts, invoices, scheduling, and automations for any service business. Tave, since becoming VSCO Workspace (August 2025), comes via the VSCO One membership at $499.99/yr with galleries and editing tools bundled, keeping the deepest automation engine in photography CRM.
Annualized: $600 vs $499.99 — Workspace is cheaper AND photography-specific. 17hats counters with simplicity, a general-business feature set (good if photography is one of several income streams), and no membership-ecosystem strings. The two-year $800 deal drops 17hats to $400/yr, undercutting everything — if you're ready to commit.
Full disclosure: this page is published by Fstop CRM, a competitor to both. We keep the comparison factual and tell you when one of them is the better pick — and both get a fair shake below.

Who Should Pick Which
Both are power tools priced like it. Fstop CRM is the photographer-specific option at $19.99/mo billed yearly (about $240/yr): pipeline, contracts, invoices, booking pages with deposits, galleries, questionnaires, and timelines, with every feature on every plan.
We won't out-automate Tave or out-generalize 17hats — but for most working photographers, the workflow coverage is complete at less than half the price.
Common Questions
17hats: one plan at $60/mo, $600/yr, or $800 for two years. Tave is now VSCO Workspace, sold through the VSCO One membership at $499.99/yr (legacy Tave subscribers keep grandfathered plans).
For photography-specific depth, yes — job structures, automations, and now bundled galleries are photography-native. 17hats is stronger as a general small-business hub if photography is one of several things you sell.
VSCO Workspace includes VSCO galleries in the membership. 17hats has none — you'd add a gallery platform separately.
