Fotostudio is a genuine French-speaking all-in-one: CRM, booking, quotes and invoices, just like Pelli. On that foundation, the two are evenly matched — and Fotostudio even offers a two-month trial. The difference lies elsewhere. Pelli takes the chain all the way — website, SMS marketing, Google review booster, premium gallery and French invoicing compliant with the 2026-2027 reform — and runs entirely from your phone, with no app to install. Above all, the "Léa" AI is built in and hosted in France, whereas Fotostudio asks you to plug in your own Claude or ChatGPT through a connector: your client data then flows to a third party, most often American. The closest competitor on paper; but Pelli keeps the brain, the gallery and the compliance in-house.

At a comparable scope (100 GB), Pelli Pro costs half as much as Fotostudio Pro — €180 versus €336/year — with unlimited emails and the website included.
Fotostudio and Pelli play on the same field: two genuine French-speaking all-in-ones. But Pelli takes the chain all the way — website, marketing, premium gallery and French compliance — runs from your phone and keeps its AI in-house, hosted in France. Where Fotostudio asks you to plug in a third-party AI and leaves several pieces to complete elsewhere, Pelli brings everything together in a single French platform: simple and sovereign.

Methodology note
This comparison is based on public information (vendors' websites) and on feedback from users who switched to Pelli. Some points reflect experience reported by these users — a subjective impression — rather than an objective measurement; they may differ from the competitor's current offering, which changes over time.
