A friendly comparison.
Running a profitable photography business means you have to juggle lots of things…booking, scheduling, pricing, cost control and more. Wouldn’t it be great if you had an all-in-one resource to help you with all those elements?
Zenfolio is your one-stop business partner, designed from the ground up to give you more hands to help juggle your daily tasks.
Let’s take a look at how Zenfolio compares to ShootProof.
Zenfolio offers outstanding value over ShootProof.
Both Zenfolio and ShootProof offer multiple service plans to accommodate the needs and image volume generated by photographers at every career stage from hobbyist to part-time to busy professionals. The biggest difference is evident in the value offered by plans with unlimited storage. The Zenfolio Advanced plan priced at $396/year with unlimited storage costs 45% less than the most comparable ShootProof Unlimited Photo plan priced at $720/year.
Zenfolio Advanced also provides advanced technology for automated scheduling and artificial-intelligence (AI) tools to expedite workflow that are not available with ShootProof.
Multiple website design themes.
With Zenfolio, photographers have more website design options to customize their site and reflect the essence of their brand. The comprehensive Zenfolio website builder offers multiple design templates that can be easily customized and optimized for client searching with SEO and Blog capabilities. ShootProof offers one out-of-the-box website solution with no template options. Both companies enable websites to be customized with logos, colors and fonts.
The benefits of advanced technology.
The Zenfolio investment in its new technology platform has helped photographers save thousands of hours on routine tasks that might otherwise take them away from the camera. While the Zenfolio Advanced plan enables photographers to employ sophisticated intelligence-based technology to assist with time-consuming chores, even the ShootProof Unlimited plan does not offer this type of automation to streamline workflow.

Zenfolio staffs its customer support team with working photographers just like you. They often get positive third-party reviews as they help you navigate the challenges you encounter on a daily basis via phone, chat, tutorials and 1:1 sessions.
