A ShootProof alternative for event photographers
ShootProof is a complete studio tool, with galleries, contracts, invoices and print sales, priced by the number of photos you store. Evokly is built around the event: pricing per event, photos hosted in the European Union, and guests who find their own photos with a selfie.
What is a good ShootProof alternative in Europe?
If your clients are in Europe and you mostly deliver events, look for EU hosting and a price that does not grow with your photo count. Evokly hosts every photo in the European Union, charges per event (€69, or €199 with your branding), and lets each guest find the photos they appear in with a selfie, with consent. It does not replace ShootProof's contracts, invoicing or print sales.

Why look for an alternative to ShootProof
A price that follows your photo count
ShootProof's paid plans are sized by photos: 1,500, 5,000, 25,000, then unlimited at 60 USD a month. An event photographer delivering thousands of photos per wedding climbs the tiers quickly. Evokly charges per event, whatever the number of photos.
Data processed in the United States
ShootProof's privacy policy states that personal information may be stored and processed in the United States. For a photographer whose clients are in Europe, Evokly hosts everything in the European Union and provides a DPA on request.
Guests scroll the whole gallery
ShootProof does not advertise facial recognition, so at a 150-guest wedding everyone scrolls. With Evokly, each guest takes a selfie, with their consent, and gets the photos they appear in; guests can also add their own photos to the same gallery.
When to stay with ShootProof
Stay with ShootProof if you sell prints and digital files from your galleries, rely on its contracts, invoicing and email marketing, or work mostly with clients in the United States. It is a complete studio tool; Evokly replaces neither a print store nor a contracts and invoicing suite, and focuses on the event and its guests.
How it works
Create your gallery
Two minutes: event name, date, and you're set. A QR code is generated automatically.
Guests scan and share
Display the QR code on site. Each guest scans, takes photos and adds them instantly. No app needed.
Everyone finds their photos
The gallery holds every photo at original quality. On the Event plan, each guest finds their own by taking a selfie.
Frequently asked questions
Is Evokly cheaper than ShootProof?
It depends on volume. ShootProof charges a monthly subscription sized by photos, from 9.99 USD for 1,500 photos to 60 USD for unlimited. Evokly charges per event, €69 or €199 with your branding, or €149 a month for 10 events, whatever the number of photos.
Does ShootProof offer facial recognition?
It does not advertise any. Evokly includes it from the Event plan: each guest takes a selfie with explicit consent and gets the photos they appear in, and the facial descriptor is encrypted and deleted when the event expires.
Where does Evokly store photos?
In the European Union. Photos are used for the event only, and a data processing agreement is available on request, which is what European clients and corporate buyers ask for.
Can I use Evokly alongside ShootProof?
Yes. You can keep ShootProof for contracts, invoices and print sales, and use Evokly for events where guests should find themselves and add their own photos.
