Why switch

Why photographers pick SendShoot over CloudSpot.

  • Full size on the free plan

    Free-plan clients download originals, not a 2048px version. Every plan has every feature.

  • No email gate for clients

    Clients open your link and type four digits. They’re never asked for an email address to favourite or download.

  • Proofing on every plan

    Favourites with per-photo notes, a number and a deadline, on Free as much as Business.

  • Finals replace proofs

    Drop the retouched files in and they replace the proofs by filename, in the same gallery, with the same link.

To be fair

When CloudSpot is the better choice

  • You want a print store and product sales built into your galleries.
  • You want contracts, e-signatures, invoicing and scheduling from the same tool.
  • You need unlimited storage.
  • You want branded mobile apps for your clients.
