How we compiled this
Pricing re-verified via WebFetch against official pricing pages on 2026-06-19: studioninja.co/pricing, vsco.co/workspace/pricing-plans, getsproutstudio.com/pricing, iris-works.com/pricing, shootproof.com/pricing, bloom.io/pricing. Pixifi's official pixifi.com/pricing page renders no price data (FAQ only), so Pixifi figures were taken from its Capterra listing (capterra.com/p/128862/Pixifi/pricing), which lists Essential $29.99 / Boutique $39.99 / Studio Pro $54.99 / Elite $139.99 — these corroborate the draft. Studio Ninja's official page was truncated; $16/$27/$40 confirmed via SoftwareFinder and Capterra. CORRECTION: Tave (Studio Manager) was acquired by VSCO in May 2025; VSCO Workspace publicly launched/relaunched in AUGUST 2025 (not May). VSCO Workspace pricing (Solo/Boutique/Studio at $24.99/$34.99/$49.99, 10% annual, 14-day trial) verified directly on the official page. ShootProof Free is a permanent free tier (100 photos/5GB) AND paid plans offer a 14-day trial. Bloom has NO forever-free tier (free trial only). All telephony fields (minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall) are null as N/A for this vertical. accessedAt 2026-06-19.
