Trade-offs

- Swiss QR-bill and EU VAT / MwSt / TVA / IVA invoicing built-in
- AI photo culling engine (9 dimensions, up to 10,000 photos per pass) on Pro and Business

Fit check
Which platform fits your workflow?
Consider ShootProof if:
- –Lab-fulfilled print sales (prints, canvases, albums) are a meaningful part of your income and you want commission-free sales from day one
- –You want unlimited galleries on a free plan and don't mind a photo-count cap
- –You don't need Swiss QR-bill or EU VAT invoicing, or you already use a separate accounting tool
Consider Galerly if:
- You want invoicing, contracts, and quotes on every plan including Free, 3 each on Free and unlimited on paid, not gated behind a higher tier
- You photograph clients in Switzerland or the EU and need compliant invoicing (QR-bill, MwSt, TVA)
- You want AI photo culling bundled with your delivery platform instead of a separate tool
- Your income is primarily digital delivery and services, not lab-fulfilled print sales
AI culling
AI culling: what each platform offers
ShootProof's published feature set (as of July 2026) does not include a built-in AI photo culling tool. Photographers on ShootProof who want automated culling typically pair it with a separate tool. Verify ShootProof's current feature list at shootproof.com.
Galerly's AI culling engine (galerly-cull) runs a 9-dimension score on every photo, sharpness, exposure, composition, color, dynamic range, face quality, eye sharpness, blink detection, and aesthetics. It handles burst detection, side-by-side compare overlays, and per-shoot-type weighting. The engine is browser-based, no desktop install required, and handles up to 10,000 photos per pass. It is included in Pro ($29/month) and Business ($79/month) plans.
The meaningful difference: Galerly's culling result lives in the same gallery you deliver to clients. There is no export step or separate subscription for a culling tool.
Invoicing
Invoicing for Swiss and EU photographers
ShootProof is a US-based platform, and its invoicing and contract tools do not include Swiss QR-bill generation or EU VAT (MwSt / TVA / IVA) calculation. Photographers in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands who use ShootProof for galleries typically pair it with a separate accounting tool for compliant local invoices. Verify ShootProof's current invoicing features at shootproof.com.
Galerly's invoicing includes Swiss QR-bill (Zahlteil) generation, MwSt / TVA / IVA rate application, and invoicing in USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, or AUD. These are built into every plan, including Free, without a third-party integration.
