Orbit
What it is
Orbit is a web platform for photographers and photography studios that combines CRM, booking, payments, client communication, email marketing, and galleries. Its CRM records website inquiries, lead stages, sources, replies, follow-ups, and form-conversion context. Clients can book mini sessions or full sessions, complete contracts and questionnaires, and pay through the booking flow. Galleries deliver photos and video with favorites, password protection, download permissions, watermarks, and engagement analytics. Newsletter tools provide scheduled, image-rich campaigns with delivery, open, and click reporting. Orbit lists Stripe and PayPal for payments and Google Calendar and Apple Calendar for scheduling. Photographer workspaces support English and Spanish. Plans include the same business tools, while gallery and archive capacity ranges from 5 GB to 1 TB each. Pricing is listed from $15/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Monthly options include $17 a month for 5 GB and $31 a month for 100 GB.
