What InstaProofs covers
InstaProofs is a client gallery and print sales platform for photographers. The free plan gives you 3 GB of storage, client galleries, a print shop and gallery announcements. On that plan InstaProofs takes a 12% commission on sales.
Every paid plan drops the commission, and each step up adds storage and studio tools. Starter costs $4.95 a month or $49 a year for 15 GB. Creative costs $19.95 a month or $199 a year for 100 GB and adds client invoicing and digital contracts. Professional ($29.95 a month, 400 GB) adds session booking, questionnaires and assistant logins, and Studio ($49.95 a month) gives 800 GB.
When the suite is more than you need
If you already handle contracts and invoices somewhere else and mainly need to hand over finished photos, a full studio suite can mean paying for tools you never open.
shoots.page is free up to 2 GB and gives you 100 GB on Pro for USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year. Be fair about the numbers: if 15 GB is enough and you want to sell prints, InstaProofs Starter is cheaper at $4.95 a month, and its free plan holds 3 GB instead of 2 GB. If you need 100 GB to deliver finished sets and do not run a store, shoots.page Pro costs USD 9 a month where InstaProofs Creative costs $19.95.
Where InstaProofs clearly wins
- Print sales and paid downloads: sell prints, single images, whole galleries, categories and gallery extensions.
- Business tools on higher plans: client invoicing and digital contracts from Creative, session booking and questionnaires from Professional.
- Branding: your logo, watermarks, 40+ fonts and CSS, and the InstaProofs name never shows to your clients on any plan.
- Four download sizes for whole galleries, from full resolution down to 1280px for the web.
- Favorites under custom labels, each with its own optional limit, exportable as a CSV.
- Room to grow: 400 GB on Professional and 800 GB on Studio.
Where shoots.page fits
- 100 GB for USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year, against $19.95 a month for 100 GB on InstaProofs Creative.
- Clients open one link and download without an account, an app or an email sign-in, and they never pay.
- JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP and camera RAW files up to 1 GiB and 100 megapixels each.
- Three download switches per gallery: originals byte for byte, 2000 px JPEGs and untouched RAW files, each singly or as a ZIP.
- Proofing with a pick limit and an optional price per extra photo; shoots.page never touches that money and takes no cut.
- Galleries stay up until you expire, revoke or delete them.
Using both
Some photographers keep InstaProofs for clients who order prints and albums, and send other jobs, such as headshots or commercial sets, as a plain delivery link. Both have free plans, so upload the same finished set to each, open the links on your phone and keep what suits your clients.
