Pros & Cons
ShootProof is a gallery tool that added some business features. Fstop is a CRM from the ground up. Lead management, visual pipeline, email templates, branded contracts — the business management side isn't an afterthought.
Fstop Studio is a fixed $34.99/mo billed yearly with unlimited galleries and up to 250 GB of photo storage included. ShootProof's pricing scales with how many photos you store; shoot a busy season and your bill climbs. Need more room? Pro includes 1 TB.
Send emails directly from your Gmail address. Client communication feels personal and professional. ShootProof handles gallery notifications but isn't designed for ongoing client email communication.
Design custom lead capture forms with full styling control. ShootProof doesn't have lead capture or inquiry management — you'd need a separate tool for that.
ShootProof's gallery experience is genuinely excellent. Beautiful, fast, mobile-optimized galleries with favorites selection, download tracking, and a dedicated mobile app for clients.
Integrated print sales with multiple lab partners. Clients order prints directly from their gallery, you set your markup, and ShootProof handles fulfillment. It's passive revenue with zero effort.
ShootProof's free tier (100 photos) lets you try gallery delivery at no cost. The $10/mo plan is genuinely affordable if you just need gallery hosting for a few sessions.
Dedicated iOS and Android app for clients to browse galleries, select favorites, and order prints. A polished mobile experience that web-only galleries can't fully replicate.

Free plan (100 photos), then tiers by photo count: $12.99-60 monthly ($10.99-50 billed yearly). Client booking costs extra on every tier.
Who It's For
ShootProof is a gallery delivery platform that added some business tools. Fstop is a CRM that now includes client gallery delivery on its Studio and Pro plans, so the overlap between the two is bigger than it used to be.
If your main pain point is selling prints, ShootProof does that brilliantly, and its gallery tools are mature. If your pain point is managing client relationships, tracking leads, and sending contracts, that's what Fstop is built for, and Studio adds unlimited galleries with unlimited client downloads, favorites, email capture, and zip delivery.
Fstop Studio covers both jobs, CRM plus client galleries with 250 GB, at $34.99/mo billed yearly. That's usually less than running a CRM and a separate gallery subscription, with no per-photo pricing. If print fulfillment is central to your business, pairing Fstop Essentials at $19.99/mo with ShootProof is still a solid stack.
