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 (about $28–$30 pay-as-you-go, or $16–$18 on a 75-listings/month commitment). Lumavo Flex is just $5 per listing plus $0.50 per edited image, 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.
