ShootProof is built around selling after the shoot. Vignette runs the whole job—booking, contracts, payment plans, timelines, crew, and a beautiful gallery at the end—from $35/month with every feature.
Vignette is the stronger ShootProof alternative when you need the entire photography operation—not only gallery delivery and sales—to stay connected.

01 · THE REAL PROBLEM
A beautiful gallery matters. So do the retainer that is late, the second shooter covering the ceremony, the payment that arrived off-platform, the golden-hour window, and the expenses that decide whether the job made money. Vignette keeps the full picture in frame.
02 · SIDE BY SIDE
ShootProof’s public offer is strongest around delivery and print sales. Vignette pulls ahead when the deciding criteria are operational depth and one connected business history.
THE SHORT ANSWER
| What matters | Vignette | ShootProof |
|---|---|---|
| Operating center | The booking connects client, package, location, contract, installments, crew, notes, gallery, activity, and finance. | Client galleries anchor delivery, proofing, product sales, contracts, invoices, and optional online booking. |
| Mini sessions | Native multi-slot events publish through the storefront and continue into booking, contract, payment, calendar, and gallery. | Online Client Booking is offered as an add-on; confirm the exact multi-client event workflow you need. |
| Shoot coordination | Golden-hour timing, locations, time zones, second-shooter coverage, rates, compensation, invitations, and agreements are native. | Public feature materials emphasize booking, contracts, invoices, galleries, multiple brands, and user access. |
| Business visibility | Payment, payout, revenue, expense, profit, and tax-preparation views remain connected to studio work. | Invoicing and sales reporting are documented, with strong gallery-commerce reporting. |
| Print commerce | No integrated print-lab marketplace currently advertised; the product concentrates on operations and delivery. | Commission-free print and digital sales with lab fulfillment are central to the product. |
| Feature access | Every live feature is included on every standard plan; plans differ by storage. | Core paid-plan features are broadly available, while online booking is separately priced and storage varies by plan. |

Delivery is the last chapter. Vignette handles every chapter before it too—so the gallery lands on a booking that already knows the client, the money, and the crew.

Contract, payment plan, gallery, timeline, questionnaire, and crew live on the booking itself. Open it and you know exactly where the job stands.
02 · IN THE APP
Your client gets a single booking page that walks them through confirming, signing, answering the questionnaire, and paying—with checkmarks showing what is done. No hunting through emails for the next form.

Manage a Vignette booking Understand studio finance Share a Vignette galleryVignette covers CRM, booking, mini sessions, contracts, e-signatures, payment plans, team coordination, client galleries, and studio finance. It does not currently replace ShootProof’s integrated print-lab commerce, mobile gallery apps, or gallery-sales campaigns.
Yes. Vignette includes branded photo galleries with albums, favorites, watermarks, recipient access, download controls, expiration, reactivation, and storage visibility.
Vignette connects the operational details that public gallery platforms often treat separately: multi-slot mini sessions, contracts, installment plans, natural-light timing, second-shooter coverage and compensation, gallery lifecycle, expenses, payouts, and profit.
If integrated lab fulfillment and gallery print sales are the primary requirement, ShootProof is purpose-built for that job. Choose Vignette when booking-to-delivery operations and business visibility are the priority.
