In their own words
Captura
Captura is web-based studio management software for photographers, connecting enquiries, bookings, invoices, and galleries. A booking record follows the client from enquiry through booking, questionnaire and contract, shoot, payment, and gallery. Its lead pipeline tracks unlimited enquiries across four stages, with client history in a searchable record. The private, studio-branded client portal gathers dates, forms, invoices, messages, and galleries, and clients do not need an account or password. Studios can accept payment by UPI, net banking, cash, or another method, then manually record it against an invoice. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one user, three active bookings, and 5 GB of storage. Pro costs $19 a month and includes one user, 350 GB of storage, unlimited events and galleries, workflow automation, and 100 Message Copilot drafts monthly. Business costs $39 a month and supports up to five users, 1.3 TB of storage, unlimited drafts, and priority support. Business also lists approved beta People Grouping and a custom studio domain. Captura says uploads pause at the storage limit, while existing galleries, downloads, and portal access remain available.
