Pelli vs Lumys: your entire business, not just your galleries

Lumys is a solid French gallery-store, built to sell prints at 0% commission. But that's exactly all it does: a gallery. Running a studio takes much more. Pelli brings together your galleries, your CRM, your quotes and invoices, your booking, your website and your marketing in a single platform — also French and hosted in France. Where Lumys stops at delivery and sales, Pelli covers all the administrative and commercial mechanics, with e-invoicing compliant with the French 2026-2027 reform that Lumys doesn't offer. All of it manageable from your phone, with no app to install, and assisted by a sovereign AI. Lumys sells your prints; Pelli runs your entire business.

  • All-in-one: galleries, CRM, quotes and invoices, booking, website and marketing in a single tool
  • Compliant French 2026-2027 e-invoicing — Lumys doesn't invoice your business
  • 100% usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Two French vendors hosted in France, but only one complete back office and one integrated sovereign AI
  • A premium gallery: 4K/8K video, AI search, face detection, Spotify ambiance

What you really pay over a year

With Pelli, your entire business fits in a single tool for €15/month. Around Lumys, you have to add a CRM, compliant French invoicing, booking, a website and marketing — that's six third-party subscriptions to stack up, for about €139/month, three to four times the price of a Pelli plan.

Lumys — the gallery

  • Pro plan: €300/year, gallery and store
  • 0% commission on paid plans
  • CRM, FR invoicing, booking, website and marketing to add on the side
  • No business invoicing: a compliant FR software is still needed
  • Emails limited to buyers, no SMS, no AI

Pelli — your entire business

  • Pro plan: €180/year, all included
  • 0% commission: you keep 100% of your sales
  • CRM, compliant FR invoicing, booking, website and marketing included
  • Premium gallery and Léa AI built in
  • Invoiced in the currency of your choice

Why choose Pelli

  • Your entire business in a single tool: galleries, CRM, invoices, booking, website and marketing
  • Compliant French 2026-2027 e-invoicing — Lumys doesn't invoice your business
  • 100% usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Two French vendors hosted in France, but only one complete back office
  • Premium gallery (4K/8K video, AI search, face detection) and an annual discount up to −40%
  • And a sovereign "Léa" AI, hosted in France, to save you time

Lumys is a solid gallery-store for selling prints. But if you want to stop stacking a gallery, a CRM, compliant invoicing, a booking tool and a website — all while staying with a French vendor hosted in France — Pelli brings it all together in a single platform, simple and mobile, AI-assisted. It's the tool designed to run your business, not just deliver and sell your photos.
