Instaproofs Alternative
Instaproofs offers simple client proofing galleries. lemon.gallery covers proofing plus print sales, bookings, contracts and a CRM in one account.
Instaproofs is a simple, focused proofing tool: clients browse and favourite, and that's largely the whole product. Photographers who outgrow that scope usually want sales, bookings and contracts under the same login rather than adding a second tool for each.

Who Instaproofs suits — and when you outgrow it
Instaproofs is a no-frills proofing-and-print tool that does gallery delivery and ordering affordably. It's intentionally narrow, so anything beyond proofs and prints — bookings, contracts, invoicing, CRM — has to come from elsewhere.
What moving to lemon.gallery changes
lemon.gallery keeps proofing and print sales and surrounds them with the studio tools Instaproofs skips, giving a solo photographer one place for the enquiry, the booking, the contract and the finished, sellable gallery.
Move active galleries over, let existing Instaproofs orders finish, and switch new work across first.
