Pricing FAQ
What does the $22/month cover?
Everything. Unlimited galleries, unlimited clients, analytics, commission tracking, email campaigns, desktop app access, and professional support. No storage tiers, no per-gallery fees, no add-ons.
How does the beta offer work?
Founding photographers get 12 months free ($264 value) and the $22/month rate locked in forever — immune to any future price increases. No credit card required to start.
Who pays for client storage?
Clients pay for their own storage. This is the key difference from platforms like Pixieset where the photographer absorbs storage costs. On PhotoVault, more clients means more income — not higher costs.
When do I break even?
With 6 clients on the $8/month plan, you earn $24/month in commissions — covering your $22/month fee. Every client after that is profit. Most photographers shoot 30-50 sessions per year.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. PhotoVault covers Stripe processing fees on your commissions. The $22/month is the only cost. There are no per-gallery fees, no storage overage charges, and no percentage taken from your shoot fees.
What happens if I cancel?
You stop paying $22/month and stop earning commissions. Your clients' galleries remain accessible through the Orphan Protocol — because clients pay for their own storage, their photos are preserved even if you leave.
