Booking, payments & galleries for photographers

Everything you use.
Nothing you don’t.

Fotobooq is the studio system built only for photographers: booking with contracts and deposits, payments, galleries that sell prints, a client portal and your website. Easy to set up, no fluff — and it costs less than HoneyBook’s starter plan.

Everything your studio runs on. One login.

Pricing, plainly

Pay for what you use.
Not for fluff.

Most studio software is a general business CRM with photography bolted on — and the parts you actually need sit on the pricier plan. Fotobooq starts with them, keeps the screens simple, and charges less.

  • No upsell to get a scheduler
  • No commission on prints
  • No setup fees
  • Cancel anytime

Questions, answered

What is Fotobooq?

Fotobooq is an all-in-one studio system for photographers. It handles online booking with contracts and deposits, payments through your own Stripe account, client galleries with a 0% commission store for pro-lab prints, wall art and downloads, a client portal in your brand and automatic rebooking — on your own website. There's a free plan forever; Studio is $24/mo, or $20/mo billed yearly.

Who is Fotobooq for?

Portrait, family, newborn, senior, couples and mini-session photographers — solo or with a small team — who want booking, payments, galleries and client management in one place instead of stitching together a scheduler, a CRM and a gallery host.

Do you take a cut of what I sell?

No. Gallery sales — prints, wall art and downloads — are 0% commission on every plan, forever. On paid plans there's no Fotobooq fee on card payments either, just Stripe's; the Free plan adds 2% on session card payments. Venmo, PayPal, Cash App and Zelle buttons on Studio and up are fee-free.

Does it work on my existing website?

Yes. Paste one script tag and a div. Booking and galleries render inside your page, size themselves, and hand off to Stripe for payment. No website yet? Build one in Fotobooq — Home, About, Sessions and Contact pages made from your galleries, session types and reviews, on your own domain on Studio.

What do my clients see?

Your brand. Their own sign-in shows every session, gallery, receipt and download with you, with Pay now and Book again one tap away.

How long does switching take?

Most studios are live in an afternoon: connect Stripe, import your client list, add your session types, paste the embed. Founding members get their migration done for them.

Is my money held by Fotobooq?

Never. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account and pay out to your bank on Stripe's schedule.

What if I outgrow it?

Studio Plus adds team members with roles and 500 GB; every plan can add storage 10 GB at a time.
