Why look for a Studio Ninja alternative?

Studio Ninja is a CRM photographers love: enquiry tracking, projects, contracts, invoices and automated workflows, all in a simple interface.

But it's built in Australia, designed first for Australian and North American markets, and it doesn't include galleries: to deliver your photos, you need a second subscription, with Pic-Time or ShootProof for example. For a photographer in Europe, that means two bills in dollars and invoicing that isn't built around European rules.

What Studio Ninja does well

Let's be honest: if you're using it today, there's a good reason.

  • A CRM built specifically for photographers
  • Automated workflows that are easy to set up
  • A clean interface you'll pick up quickly
  • Integrations with several gallery platforms

Why European photographers leave Studio Ninja

No built-in galleries

To deliver and sell your photos, you need an extra gallery platform, with its own subscription and its own settings.

Built for Australia and North America

Currency, tax settings and invoice formats are designed first for those markets, not for VAT, euros and European invoicing rules.

Invoicing that isn't made for Europe

Mandatory invoice details, VAT, copyright transfers, electronic invoicing: in Europe, the rules are strict. Fotostudio applies them for you.
