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 one paid plan, Enterprise, for when you want white-label branding, more storage, or more seats.
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, 3 team seats and all core features. The one paid plan, Enterprise, is $35/mo or $350/yr: white-label branding and a custom portal domain with no PhotoCRM credits, 1TB of storage, 20 team seats, and no PhotoCRM fee on client payments, so you pay only Stripe’s standard rate. Need more than 1TB? Contact us.
Set up your studio in minutes and run your first project on the free plan.
