Lumavo vs. Aryeo

Aryeo delivers your photos.Lumavo runs your whole business.

Aryeo requires your agents to create an account before they can see a single photo. Lumavo sends a direct link — they click, they see their gallery. No signup, no friction. And where Aryeo covers delivery, Lumavo brings your whole workflow — booking, editing, delivery, marketing, and invoicing — into one place.

Where Aryeo falls short

Your agents have to create an Aryeo account

Before an agent can see a single photo, Aryeo requires them to sign up for their own account. That's friction at the exact moment you're trying to impress a client. Lumavo sends a direct link — they click, they see their gallery. No signup. No password. No delay.

Dropbox "sync" is still a manual step

Aryeo connects to Dropbox, but that's where the automation ends. You still manually select the right folder and trigger the upload for every single job. Lumavo creates a dedicated Dropbox folder the moment a booking is confirmed — nothing to click, nothing to remember, every time.

Caps, credits, and add-on fees that add up

Aryeo caps delivered listings by tier — 100/year on the $49/mo plan, 250/year on the $99/mo plan. SMS notifications are $19/mo extra. Custom property-website domains cost additional credits. Lumavo's paid plans have no annual listing cap, SMS built in, and custom domains included — no credit purchases required.

Feature comparison

Lumavo vs. Aryeo

FeatureLumavoAryeo
Agent views gallery without creating an account

Aryeo requires agents to sign up for their own account before viewing — friction at your most important moment

Unlimited delivered listings

Aryeo caps delivered listings by tier — 100/yr on the $49/mo plan, 250/yr on the $99/mo plan, 500/yr on the $179/mo plan. The cap resets annually, so a busy photographer can hit it mid-year

True auto Dropbox folder per shoot

Aryeo connects to Dropbox but folder selection and upload are manual every time

AI photo editing (HDR, twilight, staging)

Table stakes now — Aryeo added AI editing via a third-party integration (AutoHDR); Lumavo's is in-browser in the same workflow. Editing itself is not the differentiator; the integrated platform around it is.

SMS notifications included

Aryeo charges $19/mo as a separate SMS add-on — not included in any base plan

Custom domain included (no credits)

Aryeo charges credits for custom property website domains — credits must be purchased separately

AI social video (Facebook/Instagram reels)

Aryeo's Video Builder creates basic slideshows — not social-ready AI-generated reels

No à-la-carte add-on fees for core features

Aryeo charges separately for SMS ($19/mo), custom domains (credits), and AI editing (a third-party AutoHDR integration). Lumavo includes SMS and custom domains, and editing is part of the same workflow.

Common questions

Lumavo vs Aryeo, answered

Is Lumavo a good Aryeo alternative?

For most real estate photographers, yes. Lumavo brings booking and scheduling, in-browser editing, branded client delivery, listing websites, marketing, and invoicing into one platform, and includes Lumavo Bridge to import your listing history and contacts from Aryeo. Aryeo remains strong for its exclusive Zillow media partnership and 3D tours. Lumavo's difference isn't any single feature — AI editing is table stakes now, and Aryeo added it too — it's that the whole workflow lives in one platform built only for real estate photographers, with a passwordless agent experience.

Can agents view their photos without creating an account?

Yes — and this is a core difference. Aryeo requires agents to sign up for their own account before they can view a gallery. Lumavo delivers media through a passwordless link: the agent clicks and sees their photos instantly, with an optional one-tap Agent Vault to save deliveries across every photographer they work with.

Doesn't Aryeo have AI editing now too?

Yes — Aryeo, like several platforms, added AI editing by integrating a third-party editor (AutoHDR). Lumavo uses best-in-class AI too. That is exactly the point: AI editing has become table stakes, so it is not where platforms actually differ anymore. What differs is everything around it — Lumavo brings booking, in-browser editing, delivery, marketing, and invoicing into one integrated workflow built only for real estate photographers, where editing is one well-tuned piece rather than a separate tool bolted onto a gallery.

How does Lumavo pricing compare to Aryeo?

Lumavo has two plans — Flex at $5/listing plus $0.50 per edited image, and Pro at $29/listing with volume discounts to $19 — with SMS notifications and custom domains included. Aryeo caps delivered listings on its base plan and charges separately for SMS and custom property-website domains.

Can I move my listings and contacts from Aryeo to Lumavo?

Yes. Lumavo Bridge imports your listing history, contacts, and agent relationships from Aryeo (and other platforms) so you can switch without losing your book of business. Photos are re-processed going forward rather than migrated.
