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.

About ShootProof: A solid, well-established platform for professional photographers whose business runs on proofing, client galleries, and print sales. Selling prints and packages is its core strength — a deep store, e-commerce, contracts, and invoicing, with you keeping 100% of sales. If print revenue is the heart of your work, ShootProof is built for it and does it genuinely well. It simply isn’t built for face recognition, on-site capture, or live delivery during the event — a different job.

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, print, and follow-up — not a delivery layer you bolt onto a separate capture and booth stack.
  • Face Match on every plan, so guests stop asking "where are my photos?" and find themselves with a selfie.
  • Your brand on every surface, included from the entry plan — the gallery, the link, the booth print.
  • A free 30-minute Event Kickoff Call sets you up. Then a real person replies same-day, not a ticket queue.

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, e-commerce, contracts, and invoicing — and it does post-shoot print sales genuinely well. That’s its home turf, and a strong reason to choose it.
  • 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 store and fulfillment workflow are built for that model, and we’re not trying to out-do them there.
  • If you mostly need a print store with contracts and invoicing for a smaller client list, ShootProof’s photo-count plans start at $9.99/mo ($8.33/mo billed annually) and may 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.
