The practical answer
Compare the total workflow cost, including optional storage and the time required to reconcile client selections. A subscription headline does not describe every service.
A studio needs proofs online all year and original files retained separately. Treating these as the same storage product leads to an incomplete comparison.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
List the base gallery plan
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Add only the optional services you actually need
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Compare annual cost using the same workload assumptions
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Compare twelve months on the same workload assumptions: active galleries, final-delivery volume and retained masters. Note whether a displayed monthly price requires annual payment. Keep optional archive charges separate from the core gallery subscription.

Your project worksheet
Base plan, optional archive, delivery needs, annual billing commitment, manual work.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where clientgallery.io fits
ClientGallery is built around branded galleries, client proofing and delivery, with a Lightroom Classic workflow. Review the current plan and optional storage services separately. If print fulfillment or a complete business-management suite is central to your studio, test those requirements explicitly.
Product reference: the existing clientgallery.io workflow guide. The scenarios and worksheets on this page are illustrative editorial examples, not customer testimonials.
Make the next step concrete
Test it with one real project.
Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
