Lensdrop vs ShootProof: how they compare.
ShootProof meters photos as well as storage, cumulatively across your account, on a monthly plan. Lensdrop meters one thing, the storage of the gallery you are sharing, and charges for it once.

When ShootProof is the right choice.
ShootProof bundles contracts, invoicing and a print store with its galleries, and photographers who want a studio back office with delivery attached get a lot for the plan. Unlimited photos on the top tier suits high-volume school and sports work.
When Lensdrop is.
If a photo count is the ceiling you keep hitting, per-gallery storage is simpler to reason about: a wedding is a 15GB or 30GB gallery, whatever its frame count, and last season's galleries never count against this one.
