BrandStudio vs ShootProof
Their photos before they leave. Not a gallery next week.
ShootProof gets your photos to clients after the shoot — a branded gallery and a print store, done well. BrandStudio is built for the room: capture on iPhone, iPad, or a tethered Mac, and every photo lands on the guest’s phone during the event, found by face, on your brand. If your win happens that night, not next week, this comparison helps you decide.

Why teams pick BrandStudio
- Your photos reach guests during the event, not days later — found by face, on their phone before they leave.
- One platform for capture, branded delivery, booth, slideshow, on-site printing, and follow-up — not a delivery layer you bolt onto a separate capture and booth setup.
- Face Match on every plan, so guests stop asking “where are my photos?” and find themselves with a selfie.
- Your brand on the gallery, the email, and the booth print, from the entry plan.
- Every new account starts with a setup call with a real person.
When ShootProof might be a better fit
- If selling prints and packages is the core of your business, ShootProof is built around exactly that — proofing, client galleries, a store, contracts, and invoicing — and it does post-shoot sales well.
- If your work is studio, portrait, or post-shoot delivery — you cull for days, then send a polished gallery and let clients order — ShootProof’s workflow is built for that model, and we’re not trying to out-do it there.
- If you mostly need a print store with contracts and invoicing for a smaller client list, ShootProof will likely cost less than an event platform.
- If you don’t run live events and never need on-site capture, Face Match, a booth, or same-night delivery, you’d be paying BrandStudio for tools you won’t use.
