CloudSpot vs Photivo

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.

Photivo provides online client galleries and sales tools for photographers. Clients can proof images, mark favorites, download selected files, and shop. Photographers can drag in pre-organized gallery folders, with the folder structure used to set up gallery and set names. Clients and vendors can download selected items to a computer or Dropbox. My Photivo gives repeat customers and vendors a personalized portal for shared galleries, favorite photos, and orders. The site describes AI tagging for wedding elements and face recognition that can tag, group, and filter photos automatically. Photivo is web-based and has a free Seed plan with 2 GB of storage, multiple users, watermarks, and an 8% commission. Bloom costs $6 a month and includes 20 GB, multiple users, watermarks, no Photivo branding, and 0% commission. Thrive costs $12 a month with 100 GB, while Flourish costs $18 a month with 1,000 GB. New users can try a subscription for 14 days before the chosen subscription is charged. The terms say plans are for individual photographers and studios, and excess usage may incur additional fees.
