Where they differ

What changes when you move from ShootProof

From enquiry, not from upload
Pixnesto starts at the enquiry: booking page, board, quote, deposit, then the shoot and the gallery on one record.
Crew and call sheets
Assign crew to each part of a shoot, see the crew calendar and share call sheets.
Selection quotas
Set “pick 60 for the album” on a gallery and track the client’s picks in your workspace.
Where ShootProof is ahead
ShootProof has watermarks, lab print sales, email marketing and standalone e-sign contracts. Pixnesto has none of these yet; its clients e-sign the quote instead.
