Lumavo vs. Fotello

Fotello runs your whole media business.So does Lumavo — with a few real differences.

Fotello is a strong, modern all-in-one platform and one of the best Aryeo alternatives. Lumavo covers the same ground — booking, delivery, payments, and AI editing — and differs in three specific ways: a low-commitment $5/listing entry with pay-per-edit pricing, passwordless agent delivery, and best-in-class AI editing you can test on a free first shoot.

Where Lumavo is different

A low-commitment entry

Fotello bills per listing ($30/listing at their one-listing minimum, falling to about $22 at 10–50 a month and about $18 at 75–300). Lumavo Flex is $5 per listing with your first 10 edited photos included, then $0.50 each, with no monthly listing quota — a lower-commitment entry for photographers with variable volume.

Passwordless agent delivery

Lumavo agents open a link and see their gallery instantly — no account, no password. An Agent Vault then collects every delivery from every Lumavo photographer they work with, in one place.

AI editing built to be best-in-class

Twilight is generated in native 4K on a frontier image model, and virtual staging is structure-locked to preserve walls, windows, flooring, and the exact camera angle. Your first shoot is free — up to 50 photos, full quality — so you can compare the output on your own difficult shots.

On pricing

Both platforms price per listing. Fotello’s committed plans run $30/listing at their one-listing minimum, falling to about $22 at 10–50 listings a month and about $18 at 75–300; Lumavo Pro is $29/listing with automatic volume discounts down to $19. The difference is at the entry: Lumavo Flex is just $5/listing with your first 10 edited photos included, then $0.50 each, with no monthly listing quota — for photographers who’d rather not commit. Both let you test the AI free on your own shoots before deciding — Lumavo’s first shoot is free (up to 50 photos, full quality). The larger difference is the platform itself: Fotello offers an optional platform plan (listed publicly around $1,200–$1,350/month) covering white-label ordering, the agent portal, storage and support. Lumavo includes those at no platform charge, so at around 20 listings a month the two land close on editing — and only one of them adds a subscription on top.
