Are you really paying less for ShootQ?
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.
ShootQ's "best" plan with their additional features is $113/month CAD. Sprout Studio has plans for half the price, with double the features, and we don't try and sneak in extra monthly expenses.
ShootQ 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. Send pre-written drip campaign emails, designer emails, bulk emails, and questionnaires all while gathering important analytics that help your business grow.

Easiest CRM to get started right out of the box, support is helpful if you reach out. They have email marketing and online galleries built-in which none of the others do.
So, I am new to album designing, but wow the studio proof feature for my client to review it is SO easy and also professional looking for my clients! I have no regrets about going with Sprout Studio 🌱.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about sprout! Their customer service is top notch, they are constantly adding new things to improve their platform and they have saved me SO MUCH TIME! (There software replaced at least 5 different websites I was using!).
