A CloudSpot alternative whose invoices work outside America.
CloudSpot pairs polished galleries, and a mobile app for each client, with a Studio Manager business layer. But its own pages say invoicing and online payments are for US customers only, the business tools need a Full Suite plan, and the free and entry tiers are JPEG-only with a 15% commission on store sales. Veyra runs the whole business, galleries with RAW included, invoices in pounds with VAT, from £6 a month excluding VAT with a free plan.
The short version
CloudSpot’s plans on 11 November 2026: Free, Entry $7, Lite $17, Pro $34, Unlimited $50 a month, read during a Black Friday promotion, with no annual pricing published. Free and Entry are gallery-only: JPEG uploads, 15% commission on store sales, and on Free a 2048-pixel download cap with CloudSpot branding. The Studio Manager, contracts, invoicing, scheduling, questionnaires and lead forms, starts on Lite, and the store fulfils through WHCC, Mpix and Miller’s with augmented-reality print previews.
The constraint that matters outside America is CloudSpot’s own line: invoicing and online payments are available only in the US. Veyra’s invoices are sterling-native with VAT support, client payments run through your own Stripe, PayPal or bank transfer in your own country, and the CRM, booking and galleries are on every plan including free.

Where CloudSpot is stronger
- The client wow factor: a branded mobile app per client, AR previews of prints on their own walls, holiday-card and album designers.
- The store: lab fulfilment through WHCC, Mpix and Miller’s, with 100% of print sales kept on Full Suite plans.
- Lightroom and JPEGmini integrations, and a link-in-bio Social Site.
Where Veyra is stronger
- Working outside the US: CloudSpot’s invoicing is US-only by its own pages; Veyra invoices in pounds with VAT support, and payments run through your own accounts.
- The business on every plan: CRM, booking with deposits, contracts and invoices are not gated behind a Full Suite tier.
- Your originals: RAW accepted on every plan, where CloudSpot’s free and entry tiers are JPEG-only and RAW is not listed on any tier.
- No commission, no download caps, no platform branding on your free galleries.
Stay with CloudSpot if
you are a US studio whose income leans on its print store, client apps and AR previews: those are real differentiators, and Veyra has none of them.
Choose Veyra if
you invoice outside the US, deliver RAW or film, or want the CRM and booking from the free plan up. See client galleries, the photography CRM, booking and pricing.
What Veyra does not do yet
- No print store, lab fulfilment, AR previews, album designer or per-client mobile apps.
- No Lightroom integration: proofing selections export as filenames for a Lightroom filter, or as a ZIP of originals.
- The import is a checked CSV upload (see the switching guide); the iPhone app is in App Store review.
