A ShootProof alternative built for AI culling and EU/Swiss invoicing.
ShootProof is a mature gallery platform with a commission-free print store. Photographers looking at apps like ShootProof usually do it because invoicing and contracts sit behind its higher photo-count tiers, and AI culling is not part of its published feature set. Galerly bundles client galleries, AI culling, contracts, and multi-currency invoicing (including Swiss QR-bill and EU VAT) into one subscription, no tier-jumping required.

What Galerly bundles in one subscription
What ShootProof does well
ShootProof pairs client galleries with a mature, commission-free print store backed by established lab partners, including Miller's Professional Imaging, Richard Photo Lab, and Mpix (verify current partners at shootproof.com). Its business tooling, invoicing, e-signature contracts, and bookings as an add-on, is real and functional once you reach the tier that includes it. Unlimited galleries even on its Free plan is a genuine advantage. It is a reasonable choice, especially for photographers whose income leans heavily on lab-fulfilled print sales.
Why photographers look for a ShootProof competitor
Invoicing and contract signing are folded into ShootProof's photo-count plans starting at the 5,000-photo tier ($20/month and up), not the Free plan or the entry $10/month tier, verify at shootproof.com.
ShootProof's published feature set does not include a built-in AI photo culling tool as of July 2026.
No Swiss QR-bill or EU VAT (MwSt / TVA / IVA) calculation in ShootProof's invoicing, it is a US-based platform.
Plans are priced by photo count rather than storage or gallery count, so photographers shooting high volumes may hit caps sooner than expected.

Why photographers switch to Galerly
Galerly's AI culling engine (galerly-cull) scores every photo across 9 dimensions, sharpness, exposure, composition, color, dynamic range, face quality, eye sharpness, blink detection, and aesthetics. It runs in the browser with no desktop install, and handles up to 10,000 photos in a single pass. It is included on the Pro and Business plans, not a separate purchase or add-on tier.
Invoicing supports USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, and AUD, with Swiss QR-bill generation and EU VAT (MwSt / TVA / IVA) calculation built in, without a third-party accounting integration. Contracts include e-signatures on every plan, including Free (3 each on Free, unlimited on paid). All of this sits in the same dashboard as your client galleries, available from the Free plan, not gated behind a higher photo-count tier.

Switching from ShootProof
ShootProof does not publish a bulk-export tool for galleries, so moving is a manual process: download your originals, then upload them to a new Galerly gallery.

Frequently asked questions
Is Galerly a good ShootProof alternative for a solo photographer?
+
Yes, if you want galleries, invoicing, contracts, and AI culling under one subscription instead of moving up ShootProof's photo-count tiers to unlock business tools. Galerly's Free plan ($0) includes invoicing, contracts, quotes and bookings from day one. If a mature, commission-free print store with lab fulfillment is your priority, ShootProof is the more established choice today.
Does ShootProof include invoicing and contracts on every plan?
+
No. Based on ShootProof's current public pricing (as of July 2026), invoicing and contract signing are folded into its photo-count plans starting at the 5,000-photo tier ($20/month and up), not on the Free plan or the entry $10/month tier.

Galerly includes invoicing, contracts and quotes on every plan including Free, 3 each on Free and unlimited on paid, with no photo-count threshold to unlock them.

Bank transfer is never charged.
Does Galerly have a print store like ShootProof?
+
No. ShootProof has a developed, commission-free print store with lab-fulfillment partners including Miller's Professional Imaging, Richard Photo Lab, and Mpix, verify current partners at shootproof.com. Galerly is focused on digital delivery, client proofing, and invoicing rather than print fulfillment. If lab-fulfilled print sales are central to your revenue, that is a real trade-off to weigh before switching.
How does Galerly's AI culling compare to what ShootProof offers?
+
ShootProof's published feature set does not include a built-in AI photo culling tool, verify at shootproof.com. Galerly's culling engine (galerly-cull) scores every photo across 9 dimensions, sharpness, exposure, composition, color, dynamic range, face quality, eye sharpness, blink detection, and aesthetics, runs in the browser with no desktop install, handles up to 10,000 photos per pass, and is included in the Pro and Business plans, no separate app.
Can I migrate my existing ShootProof galleries to Galerly?
+
ShootProof does not publish a bulk-export tool for galleries, so moving a gallery means re-downloading your originals and re-uploading them to a new Galerly gallery, verify current export options at shootproof.com. There is no automated importer today. Plan the switch around a ShootProof renewal date so you are not paying for both platforms longer than needed.
