What does your software stack really cost per year?
What you pay for galleries, CRM, e-signature, invoicing, scheduling and website, plus the fee on payments, compared per year with one Galerly plan.
Facts and prices checked on 2026-09-03.
Subscriptions are easy to start and easy to forget. This calculator asks for what you pay today, job by job, plus the percentage a platform keeps on your client payments, and shows the yearly total next to one Galerly plan. It does not type any other vendor’s price for you, because those change and you know your own invoices better than we do.
What you pay today, per month
Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof, CloudSpot, SmugMug
HoneyBook, Dubsado, Studio Ninja, Tave, 17hats
DocuSign, PandaDoc, Dropbox Sign
QuickBooks, Wave, Bexio, Lexoffice, sevDesk, FreshBooks
Calendly, Acuity, SavvyCal

The gallery or CRM vendor’s cut, not the card processor’s fee.
Plan prices are in USD; the comparison assumes one unit of your currency per dollar.
Galerly replaces the gallery, CRM, booking, contracts, invoicing, scheduling and portfolio rows. It does not replace bookkeeping, Lightroom or a full website CMS; keep those in your budget.
How to fill it in honestly
- Use the monthly equivalent of annual plans: a 240 a year subscription is 20 a month.
- The platform fee is the share the gallery or CRM vendor keeps on client payments, not the card processor’s charge. Stripe’s fee applies on every platform, Galerly included, and is left out on both sides.
- Leave a row at zero if you do the job without software, and remember that a spreadsheet has a cost too: your evenings.

The software stack guideFrequently asked questions
Why does the calculator not pre-fill competitor prices?
Because they change, differ by billing period and region, and you would rightly distrust a comparison where we typed the other side. Our comparison pages quote them with a verification date instead.
Is the Galerly plan price in my currency?
Plans are billed in USD, EUR, GBP or CHF with the same numbers in each, picked from your country, elsewhere in USD. The calculator shows the plan figure next to your currency without converting; for a CHF or EUR budget the difference is small, for others check the rate.
