CloudSpot is a well-established American platform: branded client galleries, a dedicated mobile app for every client, a print store and a "Studio Manager" that handles contracts, questionnaires and scheduling. Its free plan lets you start with 3 galleries and 5 GB, and its client galleries can be set to any of 10 languages, French included. The limit shows up once you invoice outside the United States: its invoicing and online payments are US-only, and its back office stays in English. Pelli covers the same ground, with quotes, invoices, signed contracts, an interface in 9 languages, and 0% commission on the sales you make through its store (Pro and Ultra plans).
Discover why Pelli is the best choice for your photography business
At entry level and on storage, CloudSpot is the more generous option: it offers a permanent free plan to test the waters, where Pelli relies on a 15-day trial without a credit card, and its Unlimited plan at $50/month gives genuinely unlimited storage while Pelli's Ultra plan stops at 1 TB. The comparison flips as soon as you start selling and invoicing: CloudSpot keeps 15% of your sales as long as you stay on Free or Entry, and its online invoicing is available in the US only. With Pelli, the store opens with the Pro plan at $39/month and takes no commission at all, and online invoicing is not restricted to any country. On both sides, your payment provider's fees are still yours to pay.
CloudSpot is a solid delivery tool that has grown into a credible management suite for an American studio, and it does deliver its galleries in ten languages. Pelli targets the same photographer from Europe: an interface in 9 languages, quotes and invoices, Peppol e-invoicing and 0% commission on the store. Try it for 15 days without a credit card and compare on your own galleries.
