What Picsello is

Picsello is photography business software for managing the work around a photography business, from the first client inquiry to gallery sales. Its booking flow lets clients check availability, book sessions, sign contracts and submit payments. Studio Manager brings together inquiry responses, proposals, questionnaires, contracts, retainers, invoices and client messages, while customizable automated emails can support communication from lead follow-up through post-shoot follow-up.

The service also provides unlimited client photo galleries with proofing, digital image sales and product upsells. Picsello says photographers keep 100% of the profit from client gallery sales. Its Smart Profit Calculator helps photographers set package prices around financial goals and business stage. Calendar access uses an external provider and iCal for one-way sync.

Picsello is web-based, works on smartphones and tablets, and requires an internet connection; it is not a mobile app. Listed platforms are web, Android and iOS. There is no free plan. The One Simple Plan is $35 a month, and a yearly subscription is $350 a year. A 14-day trial is available. Stripe is the exclusive online payment system, and White House Custom Color is the exclusive print lab partner.
