Design services
Done for you, priced once.
Add either service to any plan. Both are designed around your brand by our team, not generated from a template.
Custom website
A portfolio site designed around your work, with booking, client login and the print store built in. We move your content from your old site, redirect old page addresses, and host it on your domain.
Branded app for iPhone and Android
Your icon, screens and store listing designed in your brand, built and submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your own developer accounts. Apple ($99 a year) and Google ($25 one time) charge their developer fees directly.
What it replaces
One login instead of five.
Most studios stitch together separate tools for galleries, booking, contracts, prints and their website. HeyShutter covers them in one place, under your name. See how we compare with Zenfolio, Pixieset, Pic-Time and others.

Questions
About pricing.
How does the free trial work?
Every paid plan starts with 14 days free. We ask for a card when you start so your studio keeps running without a gap. We email you 24 hours before the trial ends, and you aren't charged if you cancel before then. Cancel any time from your account settings.
Will you remind me before I'm charged?
Yes. Monthly plans get an email 2 days before each charge. Yearly plans get one 30 days before renewal and another 2 days before. Each reminder shows the amount, the date and how to change or cancel your plan.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, and it needs no card. Free includes 5 GB, private client galleries and selling, with a 10% fee only on sales made through your galleries. Your portal lives at yourstudio.heyshutter.com with a small Powered by HeyShutter credit; paid plans never show our name. Paid plans drop the fee to 0%.
What if I run out of storage?
Add storage to any paid plan for $25 per TB a month, or move up a plan. We never delete galleries when you reach your limit; new uploads simply wait until there's room.
Are the website and app fees one time?
Yes. $2,500 for a custom website and $2,500 for a branded app are one-time design and launch fees. Your plan covers the software that runs them.
What about payment processing?
Online payments run through your own Stripe account, so money goes straight to you and Stripe's standard processing fees apply. Payments you take by Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, cash or check are just recorded.
Can I buy a website or app without a plan?
No. Both run on HeyShutter: the website hosts your galleries and booking, and the app signs clients in to your HeyShutter account.
