Veyra vs Studio Ninja: photography studio software, with or without the galleries.
Veyra is a UK-built studio platform for photographers: enquiries and CRM, booking, contracts, invoices, client galleries, email marketing and a portfolio website on one client record, from £6 a month excluding VAT. Studio Ninja is studio management software built for photographers and videographers, with pound pricing and galleries through partners.
The short version
Studio Ninja and Veyra are closer than most comparisons on this site: both are built for photographers, both show prices in pounds, and both cover enquiries, contracts, invoices and booking. The main difference is delivery. Studio Ninja has no galleries of its own; it syncs with Pic-Time and ShootProof. Veyra delivers photographs and films itself, on the same record.
Studio Ninja Starter is £13 a month (£130 a year) with one user and up to five active jobs, and no online booking forms or automation. Pro is £20 (£200 a year) and Master £29 (£290 a year). Veyra Grow is £6 a month with unlimited galleries and booking, and Pro is £12.
Studio Ninja was founded in Melbourne and acquired by Captura in 2023. Veyra is built in Birmingham by a working photographer.

Stay with Studio Ninja if

Choose Veyra if
you want the gallery, the website and the marketing in the same place as the booking and the invoice, and to pay less for it. See booking and client galleries.
Moving from Studio Ninja to Veyra
Contacts and your payment history come in as CSV files, and project and invoice registers can be added if you have them. Veyra checks everything first and shows you a report: duplicates, payments it cannot match to an invoice, dates that look wrong. Nothing is written until you approve it, nothing is emailed to a client, and your invoice numbering carries on from where it was. Exports from other tools may need their column headings renamed to match; the switching guide lists them. Galleries are uploaded again, and the gallery links you send from Veyra are new.
What Veyra does not do yet
- No print store or lab fulfilment. If print sales pay a large part of your bills, keep a print-led gallery for that.
- There is no one-click importer for another product. The import is a checked CSV upload, described in the switching guide.
- The iPhone app is in App Store review. Veyra runs in any browser today, including on Android phones.
