And on Lenzl Pro
The table compares Hobby, Lenzl’s cheapest paid plan. Pro adds white-label galleries, unbranded embeds, 200 GB — and your domain included, along with its ongoing maintenance and renewal, rather than bought at cost. Pro takes 0% commission on sales and tips. Selling more than £80 a month, Pro costs less than Hobby. See the full plan comparison.
Choose Lenzl if
- You want more storage for less: Zenfolio Basic is 15 GB at $7/month billed annually, Lenzl Hobby is 20 GB at £6/month.
- You want a commission figure stated plainly at your tier — Lenzl publishes its rate plainly — 0% on Pro, 10% on Hobby; Zenfolio's pricing page does not state a commission rate either way.
- You want a QR-code portal for handing a shoot over in person, alongside the gallery link.
Choose Zenfolio if
- You want booking and scheduling, AI culling and a full studio-management suite in one subscription — Zenfolio sells those as part of the platform (booking and PhotoRefine culling are $10/month and $7/month add-ons on the lower tiers, included on Advanced), and Lenzl has none of it.
- You want video hosting alongside photographs; Zenfolio's higher plans include 4K video and a video storage allowance.
- You run high-volume work — schools, sports, events — where Zenfolio's Volume Wizard, bulk folder generation and registration forms do real work.
- You are already running a studio on Zenfolio; the switching cost of moving client galleries mid-season is real and usually larger than the price gap.
