After HoneyBook’s price increase, switch to a CRM built for photographers — clients, invoicing, contracts, payments, and galleries in one place. Start free.
HoneyBook is a capable all-in-one clientflow tool — but it isn’t photography-specific, and its 2025 price increase sent many photographers looking for something more affordable and more purpose-built. If that’s you, PhotoCRM is a photographer-first option you can start using for free.
You get the core HoneyBook workflow — invoices, contracts and e-signatures, payments, and a client portal — plus the photographer pieces HoneyBook leaves out: galleries and photo and video delivery.
Run real client work at $0/mo — invoices, contracts, payments, and a branded portal. HoneyBook is paid-only after a trial.
Shoots, galleries, and delivery are first-class, not bolted onto a generic service-business tool.
Deliver photos through a branded client portal with downloads and approvals — no separate gallery subscription.
Host and stream films alongside photos in the same portal — handy for hybrid shooters.
Build contracts from templates, send for signature, and auto-generate signed PDFs.
Stripe-powered deposits and balances with Apple Pay and card — split a job into deposit + balance in a click.

Yes. PhotoCRM offers an ongoing free plan built for photography businesses — client and project management, invoicing, contracts with e-signatures, and a branded client portal with galleries. HoneyBook is subscription-only after a free trial.
HoneyBook raised its prices in 2025, which pushed many photographers to look for a more affordable, photography-specific option. PhotoCRM is purpose-built for photographers and starts free, with paid upgrades only when you need more storage, seats, or white-label.
PhotoCRM covers the core HoneyBook workflow photographers use — invoices, contracts and e-signatures, payments, scheduling, and a client portal — and adds photographer-specific galleries and photo and video delivery.
Import your clients via CSV, recreate your invoice and contract templates, and set up your first project — most photographers do this in minutes on the free plan. Your client portal, galleries, and payments are then all in one place.
The free plan is $0/mo with 20GB of storage and all core features. White-label (your brand, custom portal domain, no PhotoCRM credits) is $35/mo or $350/yr, and storage upgrades start at $9/mo for 100GB up to 2TB.
Set up your studio in minutes and run your first project on the free plan.
