Sprout Studio suits photographers who are tired of paying for a CRM and a gallery service separately. Its pricing page lists a CRM, invoicing, contracts, bookings, scheduling, questionnaires, galleries, email marketing, album proofing and reports in one platform built for photographers. The Lite plan, from $19 a month in USD, covers 10 active shoots and galleries, 50GB of photo storage, 3 users and 2 brands, which fits a newer portrait photographer. Basic at $36 doubles active shoots to 20 with 100GB of storage. Pro at $51 removes the shoot cap and adds design proofs for album feedback and virtual IPS for in-person sales sessions, which matters for wedding photographers who sell albums. Unlimited at $69 removes storage, user and brand limits. Every plan has a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. The trade-off is setup: there are more modules to configure than in a CRM-only app. We compared documented features and published prices, and Sprout ranks second because galleries and proofing come in the same plan.
