Switching to Flashslash
Booking, contracts, payments, galleries and your website, made for photographers and built as one. Every feature on every plan, one record for every client, and a team that moves you over for free.
Step 1
Tap every tool you pay for. The page rewrites itself around your setup.
Inquiries, proposals, contracts, invoices, payment plans, scheduling and workflows are all built in.
Moving from HoneyBook, step by stepYour website and galleries live in Flashslash, next to the booking and payment that came before them, with every feature on every plan. Clients order prints in the gallery and you send the order to your lab.
Moving from Pixieset, step by stepA designed photography website on your own domain, with booking, galleries and the client portal built in.
What you get with Flashslash
Instead of HoneyBook, Pixieset and Squarespace
From the first inquiry to the final gallery, every client has one record: sessions, messages, forms, contracts, payments and galleries.
No copying a client from your CRM into your gallery tool, and no wondering which app has the latest email. Your team sees the same record you do.
Instead of HoneyBook and Pixieset
Plans differ in storage, video hours and team size. Nothing else is held back for a higher tier.
Automations, proposals, payment plans, video, RAW files, your own domain and AI writing help are on the smallest plan too. There are no add-ons to buy.
Instead of HoneyBook
A client picks a session, signs your contract on their phone and pays the deposit, in one booking.
Turn on signing before paying and the contract becomes part of booking, so a date is never held without a signature and a deposit. Your client gets the signed PDF, and the signed record stays with the booking.
Instead of HoneyBook and Pixieset
Deliver photos, video and RAW files side by side, in galleries clients open without an account.
Hearts, picks and proofing, downloads in the sizes you allow, download sales, and print orders you send to your own lab. Galleries are linked to the booking that came before.
Instead of HoneyBook and Squarespace
A photographer's website on your own domain, with booking, galleries and the client portal built in.
Pick a design, add your photos and words, and preview it on a phone and a computer. A blog, search settings and a link-in-bio page come with it.
Instead of HoneyBook and Pixieset
Clients see their sessions, contracts, forms, payments and galleries in one place, on their phone.
They pay a balance, answer the questionnaire and find their gallery from the same link, so they stop emailing you to ask where things are.
Instead of HoneyBook, Pixieset and Squarespace
Deposits, balances, payment plans and gift cards are paid into your own Stripe account. Stripe's card fees apply; we add nothing.
Payment plans with autopay, bank transfers (ACH) for balances, and tips on the final payment are all there when you want them.
Instead of HoneyBook
A setup guide walks you through packages, hours, contracts and Stripe, with sample clients to click around first.
“Honestly, you killed this. Setup was so easy. Once I saw how everything connects, it all just clicked.”
Ready-made workflows for weddings, portraits, branding and minis mean you change a few emails instead of building from scratch.
Instead of HoneyBook, Pixieset and Squarespace
Send us your client list and we'll bring your clients and upcoming sessions across, with what each has already paid.
You check a preview of every row before it goes live, nobody is emailed, and one click undoes an import.

Checked on each company's own pricing page on 22 October 2026. “Extra cost” means a higher plan or an add-on; “Not checked” means their page didn't say. In fairness, some of them are ahead in places: galleries like Pixieset, ShootProof and Pic-Time send print orders to a lab automatically, several have a free plan, Studio Ninja syncs with QuickBooks and Xero, and Pixieset has a mobile gallery app. Flashslash works in your phone's browser.
