ShootQ review
A sales-focused studio platform combining booking, workflows, payments, and reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShootQ is cloud-based business management software for photographers and creative studios. It brings lead tracking, sales-pipeline management, scheduling, online booking, contracts, proposals, questionnaires, invoicing, payments, workflows, and reporting into one platform. The booking module lets clients select sessions, pay, and sign contracts online. It suits solo photographers and growing studios that want to connect sales activity with operational tasks and client-facing processes.
Pricing is structured around four plan levels, with monthly and annual billing. Booking Only costs $14.95 per month or $149 per year and includes unlimited bookings, one user, one brand, contracts, and invoices. Essential costs $39.95 per month or $399 per year, adding unlimited jobs, unlimited job themes, proposals, and questionnaires. Studio costs $59.95 per month or $599 per year and includes everything in Essential, while Hub costs $79.95 per month or $799 per year and includes everything in Studio. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The lower tier is suited to booking-led needs; studios wanting broader sales and workflow coverage should evaluate the higher tiers.
Its strongest fit is for studios that need structured sales follow-up and repeatable client processes. Automated emails, questionnaires, tasks, reminders, late-payment notices, customizable lead forms, and client-facing themes support a template-driven workflow. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook Calendar synchronization connect scheduling with external calendars, while Square, Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, and PayPal Pro support payment options. ShootQ is web-only and currently intended for users located in the United States, so studios needing a native app or broader geographic availability should consider another option.
