Are you really paying less for 17hats?
With Sprout Studio, you won't get stuck paying extra for additional software features. Everything you need to run your business is accessible, easy to use, and intuitively designed for photographers like you.
17hats' "best" plan is $76/month CAD, yet they still charge extra for bank connection, time tracking, and added brands and users. That adds up quickly to $107/month CAD when Sprout Studio has plans for half the price, with double the features, and doesn't try and sneak in extra monthly expenses.
17hats is a customer relationship management (CRM) software, and sure that's great. But what about online photo galleries, virtual IPS, booking proposals, digital downloads, or everything else photographers need? You would need a whole extra software for that, but luckily, Sprout Studio has it all!
Sprout Studio offers a wide variety of free email and workflow templates to our users, packed with sales techniques to help users make the most out of their photography business.

All in one - done. Galleries, contracts, invoicing, album proofing, client portal, organization, streamlining, the new scheduler, workflows, these, and much more are incredible and worth it, saving me a ton by having these be separate. Being all in one means they work very well together and mesh in every way.
I switched from 17 Hats years ago simply because Sprout offered so much more even then, but the biggest part was that it just worked with my brain better.
I used 17hats for about 7 yrs. They just didn’t update and bring enough new features. So I was on the hunt. I did trials with Dubsado, Studio Ninja, Honeybook. Sprout for sure offered the most.
