Táve Alternative
Táve (now VSCO Workspace) is a long-standing photography CRM; its galleries come from VSCO Galleries on VSCO One (checked 5 October 2026). lemon.gallery covers similar CRM ground with galleries and sales included.
Táve has been around the photography CRM space for a long time and has a loyal user base, particularly among wedding studios running detailed multi-step workflows. Galleries come from a separate VSCO product, VSCO Galleries, which VSCO One bundles with Workspace (checked 5 October 2026).

Who Tave suits — and when you outgrow it
Táve is a long-standing, detailed studio-management CRM favoured by high-volume operations that need granular workflow control. That depth is also its cost: it's a lot to configure, and its galleries live in a separate VSCO product.
What moving to lemon.gallery changes
lemon.gallery trades exhaustive configuration for speed, with a visual workflow board, automation triggers and a free CRM, and keeps client galleries and sales in the same product, so delivery and management share one system.
Recreate your pipeline as workflow stages, bring new jobs across, and keep Táve running only until its current projects finish.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose workflow depth moving from Táve?
You trade fine-grained scripting for a simpler stage board most photographers run faster; the trade-off buys galleries and sales in the same product.
Does it handle deposits and payment plans?
Deposits are taken at booking through Stripe, and invoices support recurring billing for staged payments.
Is lemon.gallery as configurable as Táve for complex workflows?
Workflow stages are editable and templated by shoot type, though Táve's workflow engine goes deeper for studios wanting highly granular custom automation logic.
Does Táve include galleries at all?
No — it's CRM and workflow only. A studio on Táve still runs a separate platform for delivering and selling photos.
