FAQ
At the entry point, yes. Sign&Shoot has a genuinely free plan (2 bookings/month with full contracts and payments), while Studio Ninja starts at $16/mo (as of July 2026) after a 7-day trial — and that Starter tier is capped at 5 active jobs and 1 contact form. For unlimited jobs, Studio Ninja Pro is $27/mo; Sign&Shoot Pro is $20/mo with unlimited bookings, unlimited services, and 0% platform fees.
Not natively. Studio Ninja integrates with Pic-Time and ShootProof for galleries — both are separate products with their own subscriptions, so delivering photos means paying for and managing a second tool. Sign&Shoot Studio ($39/mo) includes unlimited client galleries with 250GB of photo storage in the same account as your bookings, contracts, and invoices.
A few real things, honestly: a native mobile app for iOS and Android (Sign&Shoot is responsive web only), multi-user teams (3 users on Pro, unlimited on Master), Xero/QuickBooks accounting integrations, and deeper task checklists in their workflows. If a team login or accounting sync is a must-have today, Studio Ninja is a fair pick. If you shoot solo and want free-to-start with native galleries and automations that send from a verified domain out of the box (no Gmail/SMTP setup), Sign&Shoot covers more for less.
Both connect to Stripe. With Sign&Shoot, clients pay straight into your own Stripe account — direct payouts, and we never hold your money. Studio Ninja also processes payments through Stripe and adds payment schedules and reminders across all its tiers. Sign&Shoot's Free plan carries a 3% platform fee; Pro and Studio are 0%.
Sign&Shoot setup takes about 15 minutes, and you can import clients via CSV. Credit where due: Studio Ninja offers free data migration into their platform and 24-hour in-app chat support, so switching in either direction is manageable. Sign&Shoot's free plan and 14-day Pro trial (no card required) let you test the fit before moving anything.
Switching from another CRM?
Add your services, connect your Stripe account, share your link. That's the whole setup — not the weeks of workflow-building other CRMs are known for.
Import your client list from a CSV — HoneyBook and Dubsado exports map automatically, up to 500 clients per file, and existing records are never overwritten. New clients add themselves to your CRM the moment they book.
Sign&Shoot is built by a small team, so questions go to the people who actually build the product — not a ticket maze. Pro plans include priority support.
Every account starts with a free 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required.
