A Plutio alternative for photographers
Plutio is a capable all-in-one for freelancers generally. lemon.gallery is built for photography, so galleries, proofing and print sales come as standard.
Galleries and sales, not just projects and invoices
Plutio is a well-regarded all-in-one for freelancers, around $19/mo (USD) at the time of writing, covering projects, proposals, invoices and a CRM. It is general-purpose, though, so client galleries, proofing and per-image print sales are not part of it. A photographer's alternative treats delivery and sales as core, not an afterthought.

Is Plutio good for photographers?
Plutio is a capable all-in-one for freelancers generally, but it has no client galleries, proofing or print sales, so photographers still need a separate delivery tool. A photographer-native platform includes those.
What does a photographer-native alternative add over Plutio?
Client galleries, proofing, per-image print and digital sales, and photography-specific bookings, alongside the CRM and invoicing Plutio already offers.
Is lemon.gallery cheaper than Plutio?
It can be. lemon.gallery is free to start with paid plans from £9/mo, and it replaces both a general CRM and a separate gallery host.
Can I move from Plutio without losing data?
Yes. You can import client and project data and run both side by side during the switch, so nothing is lost in the move.
