Image Depot vs ShootProof
Both let you deliver and sell photos to clients online. Here's how the two actually differ, on the specifics that affect your bottom line -- not a marketing spin.
| Image Depot | ShootProof | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on sales | 0% on paid plans; 3% on Free | 0% on every plan, including Free -- ShootProof's real advantage, worth stating plainly |
| How storage is measured | A real GB quota per plan, no photo-count ceiling ever | Photo-count tiers instead of a flat quota: 100 photos free, up to 1,500/5,000/25,000 photos on named paid tiers, unlimited on its top plan |
| Pricing | $9.99/mo Starter, $24.99/mo Solo, $39.99/mo Pro, $54.99/mo Studio, $119.99+/mo Agency | $9.99/mo (1,500 photos), $19.99/mo (5,000 photos), $31.99/mo (25,000 photos), $60/mo (unlimited) -- similar price points, different unit |
| Payouts | Your own Square account, funds settle directly to your bank | Sales run through ShootProof's own integrated checkout and lab partnerships |
| Full-library export | Guaranteed on every plan, including Free -- in writing | Not offered as a standing guarantee |
| Screenshot protection on previews | Built in -- half of every preview blurred until purchased, baked into the file | Offers its own watermark/proofing protection on preview images |
| Supported upload formats | JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos) | Per ShootProof's own Terms of Use: JPEG only (PNG accepted for gallery logos) |
Credit where it's due: ShootProof is 0% commission on every plan, including Free -- that's better than Image Depot's 3% on Free. Where Image Depot is built differently is the unit you're actually paying for: a real storage quota with no photo-count ceiling to watch, instead of a plan sized by photo count. Worth flagging directly since it's an easy thing to miss: Image Depot's Starter tier and ShootProof's own cheapest paid tier both land on $9.99/mo -- a real coincidence, not a copied number, and the storage-vs-photo-count difference above is what actually separates the two at that price.
