Comparison

Xposure vs Zenfolio

Zenfolio is one of the oldest platforms in this category, combining a website builder, client galleries, an e-commerce store and a photo culling tool. It is broad, and its breadth is the main thing to weigh: several capabilities that read as included are priced as add-ons.

Quick verdict

Zenfolio is the most feature-broad platform here and a reasonable pick if you want a website builder and a print store from a company that has been doing this for two decades. Booking and scheduling is a separate monthly add-on rather than part of the plan, and Zenfolio geo-prices, so what you pay depends on where you are billed. Xposure includes booking, contracts and deposits on every paid plan at one flat euro price.

Breadth, accumulated over two decades

Zenfolio covers more ground than anything else here: websites, galleries, selling, video hosting and a photo culling tool, with specific tooling for sports, school and event photographers that nobody else bothers with.

If you shoot volume work, that focus is real and worth having. If you shoot weddings and portraits, you are paying for a lot of product you will not open.

Booking is an add-on, and prices move by country

Booking and scheduling is a separate monthly charge on top of any plan, so a photographer who needs it should add it to every tier before comparing. Our booking manager is included on every paid plan.

Zenfolio also geo-prices through a country selector, so the figure you see depends on where you are billed. Compare your own local total rather than a number quoted in someone else's currency, including the one in our table above.

Track record against focus

Zenfolio has been doing this for twenty years and we have not. For a photographer moving a large back catalogue, that longevity is a reasonable thing to weigh, and we would not argue otherwise.

What we offer instead is a smaller product shaped entirely around delivering current client work quickly, with camera data rendered automatically and one price that includes the booking half of the job.
