In their own words
CloudSpot
CloudSpot gives photographers online client galleries, print sales and tools for managing client work. Gallery visitors can view images, download them, mark favorites and purchase prints or digital files. Studio Manager includes contracts, invoices, client portals, lead forms and scheduling. Its Print Store supports prints, products, digital products, album and card design, and automatic fulfillment through print labs. The Free plan is free, billed forever, with 5 GB storage, up to 3 client galleries, JPEG files and a 2048px download limit. The pricing note lists paid plans from $7/mo. Named plans show $3 a month for the first 3 months, with regular prices of $7, $17, $34 or $50 depending on plan. Paid plans include full-resolution downloads, a Client Portal and abandoned-cart emails for print products. CloudSpot is listed for web, Android, iOS and extension use; its gallery apps are web shortcuts rather than app-store downloads and cannot display images offline. Invoicing and online payments are available only in the US, and invoices incur a 2.5% transaction fee.
