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.
PhotoProofPro
PhotoProofPro is a web-based proofing system for photographers who deliver password-protected galleries and collect client selections. Photographers can record clients, shoots, and orders, and see when clients view proofs or share a page. Each gallery uses a passcode, and its appearance can reflect the studio's branding. Proofing pages are designed for smartphones and tablets. Clients can mark favorites, share proofs for feedback, and optionally use comments or ratings configured for that gallery. After selecting images, a client can place an order; the photographer receives an email containing the selections and special instructions. The interface is available in several languages, with unsupported languages available on request. The free Starter plan provides 250 MB storage and 30 clients. Paid plans list storage, client capacity, unlimited galleries, watermarking, full-resolution downloads, and branding removal; Medium annual is $13 a year billed annually ($156). PhotoProofPro does not print, collect member fees, or fulfill orders.
