Arteliox alternatives, compared honestly
Most studio software makes you choose: a CRM that can't deliver galleries, or a gallery product that can't run your business. Arteliox is built to do both, natively, on one secure platform.
Compare Arteliox with the alternatives
Honest, category-level comparisons. Each one covers what the other tool is great at, who should pick which, and where Arteliox is different.
What only Arteliox does
Pay-to-unlock delivery
The gallery unlocks when the final invoice is paid, and re-locks automatically on refund or dispute. No other studio platform ties delivery to payment this way.
One-link client portal
Your client gets a single secure link to view, pay, and download, with a one-time email code guarding money and files. No client accounts, and no juggling separate gallery and invoice links.
You are the merchant of record
Client payments are charged directly on your own Stripe account. Your balance, your payout schedule, your payment history. Arteliox never holds your money.
Audit trail and export freedom
Every sensitive action is recorded in an append-only audit log, and exporting your data is a first-class, audited feature, not a support ticket.
Flat pricing from $9.90
Plans are per studio, not per seat, at $9.90 to $39.90 a month, and will start with a 14-day free trial. Growing your team doesn't grow your bill.
A platform, not a point tool
Photo Studio CRM is the first solution on a multi-industry platform core. Identity, isolation, payments, files, workflows, and audit are shared infrastructure, hardened once.
Where we're still catching up
An honest comparison cuts both ways. Mature competitors are ahead of us today on embeddable lead-capture forms, full contract e-signing, client self-serve booking with pay-at-booking, two-way email inbox sync, and native mobile apps. All of these are on our roadmap. If one of them is a dealbreaker for you today, we'd rather tell you now than after you've migrated.
Run the numbers for your studio
One subscription, flat pricing, and delivery that pays for itself.
