Two tools, or one?

Dubsado + ShootProof vs lemon.gallery

Dubsado for the CRM, ShootProof for galleries and prints. Two logins, two bills, and a commission on every order. Here's the one-tool version.

One login, no sales commission on Premium

Dubsado is a strong CRM with contracts and invoicing, and ShootProof is a capable gallery and print-sales platform. Run together they cover a full workflow, but that is two subscriptions, two logins, and a ShootProof store commission of up to around 15% on some plans at the time of writing. An all-in-one covers both sides in one place, with 0% commission from the £9 plan.

The verdict

Should you consolidate?

If Dubsado and ShootProof both fit your work and the commission does not bother you, there is no need to rush. If you would rather run the CRM and galleries in one login and stop paying a percentage on every print order, one platform does both for less. lemon.gallery is free to start with 0% commission from the £9 plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can one tool replace Dubsado and ShootProof?

Yes. An all-in-one covering CRM, contracts and invoicing plus galleries and print sales replaces both. lemon.gallery does this in one login with 0% commission on paid plans.

Does ShootProof charge commission on sales?

Its store can take a commission of up to around 15% on some plans at the time of writing. A platform with 0% commission keeps that margin, which adds up on high print volume.

Is one platform cheaper than Dubsado plus ShootProof?

Usually. Two subscriptions plus a sales commission tend to exceed one all-in-one plan. lemon.gallery is free to start and £9/mo for the paid tier with no commission.

Will I lose data moving off both?

No. You can import client and gallery data and run the old tools alongside the new platform during the switch, so nothing is lost.
