Sign&Shoot

Sign&Shoot is a CRM and booking platform for photographers, combining appointment scheduling, contracts, payments, and client records. Clients choose open times from a portfolio booking page, which blocks double bookings. Contract tools include templates, booking-detail autofill, digital signatures, PDF creation, and an audit trail described as meeting E-SIGN Act and UETA requirements. Photographers connect their own Stripe account; payments go directly to their bank. In the Free plan, payments carry a 3% platform fee, while Pro has no platform fee. Client profiles can include booking history, revenue tracking, tags, and notes, and clients can use a portal with magic-link access. Invoices can include multiple line items, be emailed, accept Stripe payments, and produce printable PDFs. Studio adds client galleries with 250GB of storage; links expire after 90 days and can use PIN protection and download controls. The mobile-first PWA can be installed from a phone browser, and clients can book, sign, and pay in a browser without an app download. Sign&Shoot is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Pro is $20.00 per month; Studio is $39.00 per month.

Sign&Shoot brings common photography booking and client-management tasks together, with browser access for clients and a mobile-first PWA. The Free plan has booking and service limits plus a payment fee; Pro costs $20.00 per month, and Studio costs $39.00 per month.

It suits photographers who want booking, contract, payment, and client-record tools in one platform. It may also fit those who need browser-based client access or gallery delivery.

Sign&Shoot is a booking and client-management platform for photographers who want clients to schedule sessions, sign contracts, and pay online in one workflow. It is a strong fit for solo photographers building a web-based booking process; the Free plan is tightly capped, while paid plans remove key limits and Studio adds galleries.

Overview

Clients book from a portfolio page that displays open time slots and blocks double bookings. That gives photographers a direct way to take bookings without manually coordinating each appointment, and clients can book, sign, and pay in a browser without installing an app.

Bookings connect with e-sign contracts, Stripe payments, client records, and invoicing. The combination is useful for photographers who want fewer disconnected administrative steps, though payments require the photographer to connect a Stripe account.

Key features

Contract templates can autofill booking details, collect digital signatures, generate PDFs, and retain an audit trail described as meeting E-SIGN Act and UETA requirements. This makes contracts part of the booking process rather than a separate document task. Standalone invoices support multiple line items, email delivery, online Stripe payment, and printable PDF copies.

The CRM combines client profiles and booking history with revenue tracking, tags, and notes. A magic-link client portal gives clients access without requiring an app download. Workflow automation is included, but its specific scope is not described, so photographers should not assume it covers a particular process.

Studio adds unlimited client galleries with 250GB of storage and branded delivery pages. Gallery links expire after 90 days, with optional PIN protection and download controls; the storage and delivery tools suit photographers who want to deliver images within the same service, but the time-limited links may not fit every client workflow.

The booking widget can be embedded on sites including WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix. Sign&Shoot is a mobile-first PWA that can be installed from a phone browser, while clients use the service in a browser on phones or computers. The company says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, uses Clerk for authentication, and does not store payment card numbers on its servers.

Support combines 24/7 instant assistance from Shootie with access to a human team member when needed. Existing users can open dashboard tickets, and paid plans receive priority in the support queue. Photographers can import up to 500 client records per CSV file from HoneyBook, Dubsado, Studio Ninja, or a spreadsheet, which can reduce friction when moving an existing client list.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed Free forever. It allows 2 bookings/month and 1 service listing, and charges a 3% platform fee on payments. That is a reasonable way to establish a basic booking flow, but the monthly booking cap and transaction fee make it a poor fit for a busy schedule.

Pro costs $20 a month, with annual billing getting 2 months free. It includes unlimited bookings and services, custom branding and domain, a 0% platform fee, and up to 12 portfolio photos. For photographers taking regular bookings, the higher capacity and removal of the platform fee are the practical reasons to move up from Free.

Studio costs $39 a month, also with annual billing getting 2 months free. It includes everything in Pro plus unlimited client galleries, 250GB photo storage, and branded delivery pages. Choose it when client gallery delivery is worth the additional cost; photographers who do not need those tools can stay with Pro. A 14-day trial is available.

Platforms

Sign&Shoot supports Android, iOS, and web. Its installable PWA provides phone access without an app-store download, and clients can complete bookings, signatures, and payments in a browser.

Who it's for

Sign&Shoot suits photographers who want to connect session booking with contracts, payment collection, client records, and invoices, especially those seeking a browser-first experience for clients. Pro is the clearest fit for regular booking volume; Studio makes more sense when integrated galleries and delivery pages are also needed. Photographers who need only a small number of bookings may find Free sufficient, while those who need more than 2 bookings/month or multiple service listings will outgrow it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Booking, contracts, Stripe payments, CRM, and invoicing are brought together, reducing the need to stitch those tasks across separate services.
• Pros: Clients can book, sign, and pay in a browser, and photographers can embed booking on common website platforms.
• Pros: Paid plans remove the Free plan's booking and service caps; Pro also removes the platform fee.
• Cons: Free permits only 2 bookings/month and 1 service listing, and takes a 3% platform fee on payments.
• Cons: Payments rely on a connected Stripe account, and Studio gallery links expire after 90 days.
• Cons: Pro limits portfolio photos to 12, and the specific scope of workflow automation is not described.

Verdict

Choose Sign&Shoot if you want one browser-first service for photography bookings, contracts, payments, and client management, with Studio available for gallery delivery. The main reason to look elsewhere is the Free plan's low booking allowance and 3% payment fee; Pro is the more practical starting point for photographers with steady bookings, while Studio is best reserved for those who will use its galleries.
