In their own words
Pelli
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.
