ShootProof’s pitch is fairness: commission-free print sales and the same features across every tier, with pricing based on how many photos you store. For photographers who sell prints and dislike commissions, that’s a clean model. CuratePics competes on reliability and EU-native delivery rather than on a sales channel.
Where ShootProof is strong
Commission-free sales mean you keep your print revenue, features don’t get paywalled into the top tier, and photo-count pricing is transparent. If commission-free selling is the priority, it delivers exactly that.
Where CuratePics is different
- Priced per photographer, not per photo. Generous storage and unlimited client downloads on every plan, with no per-photo metering and no commission on anything.
- Reliability built in. Resumable, checksum-verified uploads and a delivered gallery that is never auto-deleted.
- EU data residency, GDPR-native — usable by clients a US tool can’t serve.
- No client login. One-tap viewing and downloads, no account required.
Switching from ShootProof
No lock-in — re-upload your delivered sets and send new links. If reliable delivery and EU residency matter more to you than an in-gallery print store, CuratePics is the focused alternative.
Pricing
Studio £15/mo, Pro £29/mo, Studio Max £49/mo (or £12/£24/£39 billed annually). Unlimited client downloads and no commission on every plan — priced per photographer, not per photo.
