Bloom review

Bloom packs more into one subscription than most photography CRMs: projects, invoicing and payments, contracts with legally binding signatures, scheduling, lead capture, a client portal, a website builder and client galleries. The Starter plan lists at $14 a month and is shown at $7 a month for the first 12 months under a 50% off offer. It caps you at 3 active projects, 1 workflow and 1 automation, adds a 1.5% Bloom fee on card and ACH payments and includes 100GB of storage, so it suits side work. Standard, listed at $34 a month, is the real plan for a working photographer: unlimited projects and workflows, automations, no Bloom processing fee and 500GB. Plus at $66 adds 1TB, Teams and removes the Powered by Bloom label. Clients can pay by Stripe, Square, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or bank transfer, and invoices support payment schedules and QuickBooks. We compared documented features and published prices, and Bloom ranks fifth because the useful limits sit on Standard.
