Capturely does one job: it delivers your photos in a fast, private gallery your clients can pick from and download, then closes and deletes it when the job is done. Every CloudSpot fact below comes from CloudSpot's own pricing and client gallery pages.

Which one fits
Pick the gallery that fits how you work.
When CloudSpot is the better choice
- You sell prints, albums and cards from your galleries: CloudSpot has a store on every plan, commission-free from Lite; Capturely has no store.
- You want contracts, questionnaires, invoices and scheduling beside your galleries: CloudSpot's studio manager covers them on its larger plans, and Capturely does none of that.
- You want to give each client a mobile app with their photos: CloudSpot includes them, up to 3 on Free.
- You keep a few small galleries live on a free plan, or want help moving: CloudSpot Free allows up to 3 galleries, and its team offers to bring your photos over.
When Capturely is the better choice
- You want more room on a free plan: Capturely Free gives you 15 GB for your active gallery, where CloudSpot Free has 5 GB.
- Your clients should get full-size files on any plan: Capturely downloads are full resolution on every plan, RAW files too, where CloudSpot Free limits downloads to 2048px and takes JPEG only.
- You deliver video files, not links: Capturely Pro and Studio take MP4 and MOV files your clients play and download in the gallery.
- Your clients speak other languages: galleries come in 12, your client can switch, and a gallery can close on a date and then delete itself.
Switching
Switching from CloudSpot
There is no importer from CloudSpot, so nothing moves on its own. This is how photographers usually switch:
- 01
Start on Pro
Create an account with no card, then add your studio name, logo and accent color once in the Brand kit.
- 02
Deliver your next shoot with Capturely
Upload the new photos and send your client the link. They need no account and no app.
- 03
Let your CloudSpot galleries run out
Leave the galleries you already sent where they are until they expire, then cancel there. To bring one over sooner, upload its photos from your own files.
- 04

Moving a lot of galleries at once? Write to hello@capturely.me and we will help you plan it, personally.
Can I import my CloudSpot galleries into Capturely?
Not automatically: Capturely has no importer. Upload the photos from your own files into a new gallery, or deliver new shoots with Capturely and let your CloudSpot galleries expire where they are. If you have a lot to move, write to hello@capturely.me and we will help you plan it.
How does Capturely's free plan compare with CloudSpot's?
Capturely Free gives you 15 GB and one active gallery at a time, with full-resolution downloads and no card. CloudSpot Free gives you 5 GB and up to 3 galleries, takes JPEG only, limits downloads to 2048px and includes a store with a 15% commission.
Does Capturely do contracts and invoices?
No. Capturely is for delivering galleries: client picks, downloads and protection. CloudSpot includes a studio manager on its larger plans, so if you want contracts and invoices in the same tool as your galleries, CloudSpot covers more.
Is my branding on the galleries?
On Pro and Studio there is no Capturely line under your galleries, and you can connect your own domain. On Free, galleries show Delivered with Capturely. Client emails carry your logo on every plan.
