The short answer
Choose GalleryLink if delivery is what you need: your existing Google Drive with no re-uploading and a flat $5 a month, or hosted uploads at a fraction of ShootProof's storage tiers. Choose ShootProof if you want one platform to also run print sales, contracts, invoices and client email marketing, and you are happy to pay by storage for it.

Where GalleryLink stands out
- • No re-uploading. Deliver from the Drive folder you already back up to — no second copy and no waiting on an upload before the client can see anything.
- • No storage tiers in Drive mode. ShootProof's plans run from 20 GB to unlimited photos by price; a Drive-linked GalleryLink gallery stores nothing with us, so a 60 GB wedding costs the same as a headshot.
- • Much lower price for delivery. Pro is $5/month or $50/year for unlimited galleries; ShootProof's entry paid plan is $9.99/month for 20 GB.
- • Always in sync. Add, remove or reorder photos in Drive and the gallery updates itself.
- • Video on every plan, including the free gallery. ShootProof's free plan is photos only.
Where ShootProof may suit you
- • Sells prints and products for you. ShootProof connects galleries to partner labs and takes no commission on sales. GalleryLink doesn't sell prints.
- • Runs the business side too: e-sign contracts, invoicing, email marketing and sales reports in one place. GalleryLink has an inquiry form and quotes on your studio page, but no contracts or invoices.
- • A bigger free hosted allowance. ShootProof's free plan holds 3 GB of photos; GalleryLink's free hosted uploads are 2 GB (Drive-linked galleries have no limit).
FAQ
Is GalleryLink a good ShootProof alternative?
Yes, if what you need is client delivery. GalleryLink serves galleries straight from your Google Drive, with no re-uploading and no storage tiers, or hosts your uploads from $5 a month. If you also want print sales, contracts, invoicing and email marketing in the same platform, ShootProof covers more of the business.
How does GalleryLink pricing compare to ShootProof?
GalleryLink is free for one gallery, then Pro at $5 a month ($50 a year) for unlimited galleries and 10 GB of hosted uploads, or Studio at $15 a month with 250 GB. ShootProof's paid plans are priced by storage: $9.99 a month for 20 GB, $19.99 for 100 GB, $31.99 for 1,000 GB and $60 for unlimited photos, billed monthly, with lower annual rates.
Does ShootProof have a free plan?
Yes. ShootProof's free plan includes 3 GB of photo storage, about 1,000 photos, without video. GalleryLink's free plan is one gallery; if it is linked to a Google Drive folder there is no storage limit, and video is included.
Can I sell prints with GalleryLink like on ShootProof?
No. GalleryLink focuses on delivery and full-resolution downloads, not a print store. If selling prints and products through a lab is central to your income, ShootProof is the better fit.
