FAQ
Yes at every entry point. Sign&Shoot has a genuinely free plan (2 bookings/month with full contracts and payments) and a $5/mo Starter tier, while Session costs $19/mo flat after its 14-day trial with no free plan. Sign&Shoot's top plan ($20/mo Pro, unlimited everything, 0% platform fee) is priced at Session's single tier.
Depth beyond the booking. Session is deliberately booking-first — great at that, but light as a CRM. Sign&Shoot adds a full client CRM (profiles, tags, notes, revenue per client), standalone invoices with automatic overdue reminders and PDF copies, a magic-link client portal, custom domains, and white-label branding.
Session made its name on mini sessions, and its time-slot flow for high-volume mini-session days is polished — credit where due. Sign&Shoot handles minis through services with availability windows, and covers the rest of your business (full sessions, weddings, invoicing, CRM) in the same tool. If minis are literally all you do, try both; if minis are one part of your business, Sign&Shoot covers more for less.
Yes. Both tools let clients book, sign, and pay without creating an account — that's the right call and both get it right. Sign&Shoot additionally gives clients a magic-link portal afterward to revisit their contract, payments, and session details anytime.
