Pelli vs Zenfolio: your entire business, not just your sales storefront

Zenfolio is a solid sales storefront: a polished portfolio and a rich print shop. But selling prints isn't enough to run a studio. Pelli brings together your galleries, your CRM, your quotes and invoices, your booking, your website and your marketing in a single French platform — and lets you keep 100% of your sales, where Zenfolio takes 7% on every sale, for life. All of it manageable from your phone with no app to install, billed in your currency and hosted in France. Zenfolio optimizes your store; Pelli runs your entire business.

  • All-in-one: galleries, CRM, quotes and invoices, booking, website and marketing in a single tool
  • 0% commission on your sales — Zenfolio takes 7%, for life and non-removable
  • Fully usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Billed in your currency, hosted in France, compliant with the French 2026-2027 reform
  • A premium gallery: 4K/8K video, AI search, Spotify ambiance
