Xposure or ShootProof.
ShootProof is the closest thing to a like-for-like alternative on this page: galleries, print and digital sales and a portfolio site on one subscription, with client booking as an add-on. The differences are in what the base plan includes, what currency you are billed in, and how much of your sales you keep.
Xposure
Better if you want booking in the base plan and pay in euros.
- Booking, contracts and deposits included
- Galleries on your own domain, not a subdomain
- Camera and lens shown on every photo
ShootProof
Better if you want 0% commission on every plan, including the free one.
- 0% commission, even on the free plan
- A choice of print labs
- Unlimited photo storage on Premium
What does each plan cost per month?
Yearly billing, US dollars for both, by how much you store. Shorter is cheaper.
Studio includes team logins. Monthly billing: Xposure $9, $21 and $52, ShootProof $9.99, $19.99, $31.99 and $60. Source: shootproof.com/pricing.

Booking is an add-on
ShootProof's plans cover galleries, sales and the portfolio site. Online client booking, with its booking page, contracts and invoices, automated emails, Google Calendar and questionnaires, is a separate $6.99 a month on top of any plan.
On Xposure, booking, contracts and deposits are part of every paid plan. Add the add-on to ShootProof's column before comparing headline prices.
The most generous fee structure here
ShootProof charges 0% commission on every plan, including the free one. Almost everyone else reserves 0% for paid tiers and takes a cut on free, so this is a real difference rather than a marketing line.
For a photographer selling prints at low volume, that makes ShootProof's free tier genuinely usable rather than a funnel. The catch is the size of it: 3 GB of photos, about 1,000 by ShootProof's own estimate, is a few portrait sessions, not a wedding.
Where we differ
ShootProof is the closest like-for-like alternative to Xposure in scope, and we would not pretend otherwise. Both cover galleries, sales and a portfolio on one subscription.
The differences are narrow and specific: we include booking in the base plan rather than as an add-on, we bill Europe in euros rather than dollars, and we render camera and exposure data on every image automatically. If none of those three matter to you, ShootProof is a good product and its track record is longer than ours.
ShootProof against the others.
