The European alternative to Pixieset, Pic-Time and Studio Ninja

These tools are great, but they're built for North America or Australia and often cover only part of your business. Fotostudio brings your galleries, client management and invoicing together, in euros and in line with European rules.

Which tool are you coming from?

An honest, point-by-point comparison for each one.

Why European photographers are switching tools

Too many subscriptions

One platform for galleries, another for your CRM, a spreadsheet for invoices. You pay for each one, and none of them really talk to each other.

Prices in dollars

American, Canadian and Australian subscriptions are billed in dollars: the price moves with the exchange rate, and tax comes on top.

Invoicing not built for Europe

Mandatory invoice details, VAT, copyright transfers, electronic invoicing: North American tools aren't built around these rules.

Built for another market

Pricing, invoices, tax settings, support hours: everything is designed first for North America or Australia, not for a photographer working in Europe.
