What Orbit is
Orbit is a web platform for photographers and photography studios that brings client management, booking, payments, communication, email marketing, and galleries together. Its CRM captures website inquiries, tracks lead stages and sources, supports replies and follow-ups, and reports on form activity. Clients can book mini sessions or full-session services, then complete contracts, questionnaires, and payments through the booking flow. Galleries deliver photos and video with favorites, password protection, download permissions, watermarks, and engagement analytics. Newsletter tools support scheduled delivery and report on campaign delivery, opens, and clicks. Orbit lists Stripe and PayPal for payments and Google Calendar and Apple Calendar for scheduling. The photographer workspace is available in English and Spanish. Orbit says it encrypts data and uses least-privilege access controls and administrative multi-factor authentication. It also states that it does not sell personal information or use Google Calendar data for advertising or marketing. There is no free plan; the pricing note lists $15/mo when billed annually and a 14-day trial. Monthly plans listed range from $17 a month for 5 GB each of gallery and archive storage to $31 a month for 100 GB of each.
