clientgallery.io Pricing: What It Costs and What You Get
One plan, at 10 $/month or 110 $/year. A free account with one gallery. No tiers above it, no fees beside it. This page sets out exactly what each account can do, the ceilings that apply, and the studios that should spend their money somewhere else.
Updated September 2026
clientgallery.io costs 10 $/month, or 110 $/year if you pay annually. The annual price works out to 9.17 $/month, so the year buys one month free. There is one paid plan and no tier above it.
Before you pay anything, you can open a free account. It holds one gallery. It has every feature. The paid plan removes that one-gallery wall and raises the proof storage ceiling. Nothing else changes between the two accounts.
Pricing pages tend to hide the part that matters, which is where the limits sit. This one states them in full: 1,000 photos per gallery, 500,000 photos on a paid account, one gallery of up to 1,000 photos on a free account, and a full-resolution ZIP that stays live for 3 days per handoff with 100 GB of ZIP uploads a month per account.
The price, in one table
| Billing | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free account | 0 $ | One gallery, with the limits set out in the next table. |
| Monthly | 10 $/month | The one paid plan, billed each month. |
| Yearly | 110 $/year | The same plan, billed once a year. Equivalent to 9.17 $/month. |
Monthly and yearly buy exactly the same thing. The only difference is how often you are billed. There is no larger plan to be moved onto as you grow, so the number of galleries you publish in a year never changes the bill.
Free account versus paid plan
This table follows what the product enforces, not what a marketing line implies. Two rows differ between the accounts. Every feature is the same.
| Feature | Free account | Paid plan |
|---|---|---|
| Number of galleries | 1 | No cap |
| Photos | Up to 1,000 | Up to 500,000 |
| Full-resolution ZIP handoff | Included | Included |
| Your logo, colours and fonts | Included | Included |
| Your own subdomain | Included | Included |
| Face Search | Included | Included |
| Two-way Lightroom Classic plugin | Included | Included |
| Star and love picks | Included | Included |
| Gallery password | Included | Included |
| Your own payment link and invoice | Included | Included |
| Sub-galleries | Included | Included |
| Account-wide analytics | Included | Included |
The free account is a real account, not a demo. You can brand the gallery, send it to a client, collect their picks and pull them back into Lightroom. It can also hand over a full-resolution ZIP. What it cannot do is hold a second gallery. A second gallery on a free account is blocked until the account is paid.
The free plan has no storage ceiling of its own. Its limit is the one gallery of up to 1,000 photos, which at roughly 0.6 MB per proof JPEG is about 0.6 GB.
What the paid plan includes
Paying removes the one-gallery wall. From then on you can publish as many galleries as you want, for as many clients as you want, with no charge attached to either number.
Paying also raises the ceiling from one gallery of up to 1,000 photos to 500,000 photos. Proofs are the photos your clients browse, pick from and download. They are compressed in the browser before they are hosted, which is why 300 GB comes to roughly 500,000 photos.
Full-resolution delivery works the same on both accounts. You upload a full-resolution ZIP to a gallery. It stays live for 3 days per handoff, and you can upload it again whenever a client needs it. Your account can hold 100 GB of ZIP uploads a month at once.
Every feature in the table above is on both accounts: your branding on every client page with no platform branding, your own subdomain, Face Search, the two-way Lightroom Classic plugin, star and love picks, passwords, sub-galleries, your own payment link and account-wide analytics. Hosted galleries do not expire. They stay up until you delete them.
The fair-use ceilings, stated in full
"Unlimited" on this plan means unlimited galleries and clients, up to 500,000 photos under fair use. These are the numbers behind that phrase.
| Ceiling | The number | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Photos per gallery | 1,000 | Past it, start a second gallery. On the paid plan that costs nothing. |
| Proofs per paid account | Up to 500,000 photos | About 300 GB of proof JPEGs at about 0.6 MB each. |
| Proofs on a free account | 1 gallery, up to 1,000 photos | Roughly 8,000 proof JPEGs, more than the one free gallery's 1,000-photo limit. |
| Full-resolution ZIP window | 3 days per handoff | Re-upload any time the client needs the files again. |
| Standing full-resolution ZIPs | 100 GB per account | Meant for the deliveries in flight, not a library of every past job. |
These are abuse tripwires, not plan sizes. There is no overage rate and no automatic upgrade, because there is no plan above this one. A delivery business sits a long way from 300 GB. The arithmetic by gallery size is worked out in how many galleries you can have, and the case for a flat price against other unlimited plans is in the flat-price answer.
What is not sold
Here is what the plan does not include and does not charge for.
- No print store. Clients download their photos. There is no lab ordering.
- No commissions. If you add your own payment link to a gallery, the money goes through your link. No cut is taken.
- No per-gallery fees. The hundredth gallery costs the same as the first: nothing extra.
- No storage tiers. Every paid account has the same ceilings.
- Optional team seats. Each extra login is 8 $ a month on any plan, free included. Without seats, a two-person studio shares one account.
One more thing worth saying plainly. The payment link is a button in the gallery, not a checkout. Downloads do not unlock on their own when a client pays. If you gate downloads behind payment, you switch them on yourself.
Who should not buy it
A cheap plan is a bad deal if it cannot do the job. These studios should buy something else, and there is no point pretending otherwise.
Studios whose revenue runs through a print store. There is no store and no lab integration. If prints and products are a real line in your accounts, keep a platform built around them. The print store guide works through that decision.
Studios that run the business from one CRM. There is no CRM and no contract signing. You can attach an invoice and a payment link to a gallery, and that is where it stops.
Studios that need roles. Team seats give each person a login at 8 $ a month, but if three people need different permissions, the seats do not provide that. The small studio guide covers what one shared account does and does not handle.
Anyone looking for a RAW or master archive. The plan hosts JPEG proofs. It does not warehouse RAW files or master video, and that is exactly what keeps the price flat. Your originals belong on your own drives and your own backups. The full-resolution delivery guide explains the difference between the proof and the handoff file.
If you are a photographer who delivers galleries, collects picks and hands over the files, and none of the four cases above describes you, the price is the whole story.

Frequently asked
How much does clientgallery.io cost?
10 $/month, or 110 $/year on annual billing, which works out to 9.17 $/month. There is one paid plan and no tier above it.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. A free account holds one gallery of up to 1,000 photos. It has the branding, subdomain, Face Search, Lightroom Classic plugin, picks and passwords. It also has the full-resolution ZIP handoff. It cannot hold a second gallery.
What does the paid plan add over the free account?
Two things: no cap on the number of galleries, and a ceiling of 500,000 photos instead of one gallery of up to 1,000. Every feature, including the full-resolution ZIP handoff, is already on the free account.
Is storage really unlimited?
No, and this page does not say it is. Galleries and clients are unlimited, and a paid account holds up to 500,000 photos. The ceilings are 1,000 photos per gallery and 500,000 photos per paid account.
Are there per-gallery fees, commissions or storage tiers?
No. There are no per-gallery fees, no commissions on anything a client pays through your own payment link, no storage tiers and no print store.
Can my assistant or second shooter have their own login?
Yes, with optional team seats at 8 $ a month each (88 $ a year), on any plan. Without them, a two-person studio shares one account.
Who should not buy clientgallery.io?
Studios that sell through a print store, run the business from a CRM with contracts, need roles and permissions for staff, or want an archive for RAW files and master video. The plan hosts JPEG proofs for delivery, which is what keeps the price flat.
