Where shoots.page wins
- A permanent free plan with 2 GB and every delivery feature, and 100 GB for USD 9 a month on Pro when you need more.
- Nothing to set up first: no website templates, pricelists or domains to manage.
- JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP and RAW on both plans, single or as a ZIP: originals byte-for-byte, and RAWs as full-size JPEGs that open on any device, or as RAW when you allow it.
- You get an email when your client opens or downloads the gallery, and its stats show views and downloads per photo.
- Clients view and download with no account and no app.
- Proofing on every plan, with pick limits and priced extras.
What SmugMug covers
SmugMug combines portfolio websites, client galleries for review or download, and print and digital sales. Every plan includes unlimited full-resolution JPEG storage, Lightroom sync, uploads from Flickr and Dropbox, and 24/7 live support.
Plans cost $20 a month for Direct, $23.50 for Portfolio and $37 for Pro, billed annually, or $29, $35.50 and $52 billed monthly. Selling starts on Portfolio, and Pro adds custom pricelists, packages, coupons and client favoriting. RAW files are not part of the base plans: storing them takes the SmugMug Source add-on, from $10 a month for up to 1 TB.
When hosting is more than delivery
If your goal is handing a finished shoot to a client, shoots.page does that with one link and nothing to set up first. SmugMug is built to be your permanent photo home, with website templates, custom domains, automatic tax handling and lab integrations for prints: a whole hosting setup at $20 a month or more, billed annually.
SmugMug has no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial. Delivering RAW files adds the Source add-on on top of the plan price.
What SmugMug adds
- Unlimited full-resolution JPEG storage on every plan.
- Portfolio website templates with a custom domain on Portfolio and Pro.
- Print and digital download sales with full-service lab fulfillment on Portfolio and Pro.
