CloudSpot vs Pelli

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.

Pelli is a web platform for photographers that combines client galleries, business management, marketing, and AI tools. Photographers can create selection galleries, delivery galleries, and portfolios with client proofing, downloads, favorites, comments, watermarking, and gallery statistics. Business features include contact management, quotes, invoices, contracts, payment tracking, and automated workflows. Its Léa copilot can help draft quotes and organize tasks, while a public chatbot can answer prospect questions on a website. Pelli lists Spotify music integration for galleries and Stripe for online store payments. Online booking is included with the Ultra plan: clients request an available slot, and deposit payment is not part of the booking form. The free plan includes three galleries and 1 GB of storage. Listed plans include Lite at $9 a month, Pro at $39 a month, and Ultra at $79 a month. Pelli also lists a 15-day trial and paid plans from €5/mo. It is designed for photographers from beginners to established studios.
