MyStudio review
A focused artist platform combining portfolios, sales, provenance, and collector tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MyStudio is a web-based portfolio and business platform for visual artists who need more than an online gallery. It combines a customizable artist website editor with custom-domain support, artwork publishing, e-commerce, card payments, inquiries, private collector showrooms, subscriber mailing lists, certificate management, provenance tracking, and Kaleido marketplace synchronization. Artists can use it to present originals and prints, manage sales, and organize supporting documentation without programming skills.
Its pricing is structured around a free entry point and two paid tiers. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes a Kaleido Profile, Kaleido BioLink, Kaleido Marketplace Listing, and 30% commission on sales; the same plan is also listed at $0 per year with annual billing. Emerging costs $15 per month or $150 per year and adds all MyStudio features, while retaining a Kaleido Marketplace Listing and applying a 15% sales commission. Its artworks must display prices. Professional costs $40 per month or $400 per year, includes the same broad feature set, allows artists to hide artwork prices, and lowers the sales commission to 5%.
MyStudio’s strongest distinction is its operational focus. Provenance tracking, Certificates of Authenticity document management, private showrooms, mailing lists, commerce, and marketplace synchronization address the workflow around selling and documenting art, not only displaying it. The Kaleido marketplace is the listed integration, making the platform a natural fit for artists already working within that ecosystem. The main trade-off is the gap between the free profile tools and a full MyStudio website, alongside commission-based sales. Artists seeking a focused sales and provenance hub should consider MyStudio; those wanting a broader platform ecosystem or a free launched website should look elsewhere.
