In their own words
Pixifi
Pixifi is business-management software for photographers and creative professionals, covering clients, bookings, payments, and project workflows on web, Android, and iOS. Clients can book and pay online, while templates create contracts and invoices. Lead capture, automated reminders, client communications, and workflow automation support ongoing work. Users can track bookings, revenue, client trends, and financials, then customize workflows, templates, reports, branding, and communications. Payment processing includes Square, Stripe, and PayPal, with payment plans and reminders. Integrations include Zapier, ShootProof, MailChimp, and Google Calendar. Calendar synchronization is read-only, so edits on either side do not update the other. Mobile apps provide schedules and client information and can create and send invoices. Pixifi lists SSL encryption, secure servers, backups, optional two-factor authentication, same-day email support, documentation, and onboarding. It offers a free 14-day trial, no free plan, and launched publicly in September 2010.
