PixelPort vs ShootProof
ShootProof charges per photo. Then takes commission. There's a better way.
ShootProof pioneered online galleries. But their pricing model is stuck in 2010—per-image limits and commission on sales add up fast.
PixelPort gives you unlimited galleries, modern 4K video support, and 0% commission on every sale. Same selling power, simpler pricing.

The problem with per-photo pricing
ShootProof's model punishes you for growing. More clients = more photos = higher bills. Here's what it looks like:
The ShootProof trap
- ✗Start at $10/mo for 1,500 photos
- ✗Book more weddings? Jump to $30/mo for 10,000 photos
- ✗Still growing? Now it's $50/mo for 25,000 photos
- ✗Plus commission on every sale
The PixelPort way
- ✓$49/mo for unlimited galleries
- ✓50 GB included (need more? simple upgrade)
- ✓Book 10x more clients? Same price
- ✓0% commission. Always.
ShootProof was great when I was shooting 10 weddings a year. But as I grew, my bill kept climbing—$70/month plus commission. PixelPort is $49 flat, I keep all my sales, and the galleries look way more modern. Clients comment on it constantly.
