What's the best HoneyBook, Pixieset or Session alternative for photographers?
If you want booking, payments, contracts, galleries and client management in one plan, Fotobooq covers all of them — with a free plan, 200 GB of gallery storage on Studio and 0% commission on gallery sales. HoneyBook's scheduler starts at $49/mo billed yearly, Pixieset sells booking and galleries as separate apps or a $28/mo Suite, and Session includes 3 GB of storage.
Will my clients notice the switch?
Only that it got nicer. Booking and galleries can live on your own website, and their portal is in your brand. Invite your whole client list from Fotobooq in one click.
Can I move my galleries?
Yes. Export them from your current host and upload each gallery as a ZIP — Fotobooq matches it to the client by name. Founding members get this done for them.
What about my existing bookings?
Import upcoming and past sessions from a CSV. Past sessions feed the Rebook list so anniversary emails go out on schedule.
Do I have to switch everything at once?
No. Many studios start by moving booking and payments, then move galleries at the end of their current plan.
