Last updated :

ShootProof is a US platform specializing in client gallery delivery and print sales for photographers. Its galleries are clean, print-sales options well-integrated, and entry pricing attractive. But ShootProof is a delivery tool — not a studio management system. To manage full activity (quotes, contracts, invoicing, planning, client communication, GDPR compliance), you'll need to layer ShootProof atop several other subscriptions. Synaptiik covers the complete studio workflow, cinematic gallery included, in one tool designed for the French market.

The real cost of ShootProof for a complete studio

ShootProof starts at $10/month for 1,500 photos — attractive but very limited. Professional plan is $35/month. But ShootProof doesn't handle quotes, full invoicing, French contracts, planning or client CRM. Add a quote/contract tool (HoneyBook €66/month, Bonsai €25/month) and invoicing solution (Pennylane €15/month). You're at €90-120/month covering what Synaptiik offers at €149/month all-in — plus Synaptiik adds Leeza AI and French GDPR compliance these tools don't provide.

GDPR: where are your client photos stored?

ShootProof hosts data and photos on US servers. For a French photographer, this raises critical GDPR questions: client photos (of people, for rights assignment) are personal data under GDPR. Their transfer and hosting outside the EU requires specific safeguards (standard contractual clauses, Privacy Shield successor). In a CNIL audit, you bear the burden of proof. Synaptiik hosts all data and photos on France, with DPA available on request and CNIL-native compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Can you migrate ShootProof galleries to Synaptiik?
Export ShootProof clients and projects to CSV, then import into Synaptiik — auto-detects columns. Galleries themselves need separate recovery from ShootProof (no direct gallery connector).
Does ShootProof offer a French version?
ShootProof is English-only. No official French adaptation exists, nor documented GDPR compliance.
Does Synaptiik support print sales like ShootProof?
Synaptiik focuses on studio management (quotes, contracts, invoicing, gallery, planning). Integrated print fulfillment isn't included. For photographers where print sales are central, integration with a lab partner remains possible.
Is ShootProof really cheaper than Synaptiik?
Basic ShootProof at $10/month is less costly, but very limited. For professional full-scope use (unlimited galleries + contracts + invoicing + CRM), ShootProof ecosystem often exceeds $100/month. Synaptiik at €149/month covers everything in one subscription.
