Fotello is a great AI editor. But after your photos are done, you still need separate software for booking, invoicing, client delivery, and file management. Lumavo bundles all of it — AI editing, booking, CRM, invoicing, and branded agent portals — for one flat monthly price.
The problem with editing-only tools
After Fotello processes your photos, you still need separate software for booking, invoicing, client delivery, and file management. You're paying for multiple subscriptions and stitching them together yourself every single shoot.
Fotello's customer portal is view-and-download only — no social sharing, no re-edit requests, no payment collection. Agents have no branded gallery and no way to flag a photo that needs a change without going outside the platform. Lumavo gives every agent a polished portal with social sharing, built-in re-edit requests, and Stripe payment — all without requiring them to create an account.
Fotello editing + Aryeo or HDPhotoHub for delivery + booking software + invoicing can easily exceed $300–400/mo for a busy photographer. Lumavo bundles all of it for a flat rate — one login, one invoice, one platform.
The real cost
Fotello covers editing only. A full stack means multiple subscriptions.
Fotello stack estimates based on publicly listed pricing for each tool. Lumavo pricing as of April 2026.
