Free Plan Guide

What You Can Do on the Free Plan

creavio's free plan isn't a crippled trial. It's a fully functional platform designed to let you run a real photography business. Here's exactly what's included.

Client Management

Add unlimited client records with contact information, session history, and notes. Track every interaction from inquiry to delivery. The free plan gives you the same CRM that paid users get.

Booking & Scheduling

Accept bookings through your creavio booking page. Clients can view your availability and request sessions. You'll get email notifications for every new inquiry.

Invoicing

Create and send professional invoices. Accept payments through Stripe with standard processing fees. Set up payment plans with automatic reminders for upcoming installments.

Contracts

Send legally binding contracts with e-signatures. Use creavio's photography contract templates or upload your own. Contracts are stored permanently in your account.

Galleries

Upload and deliver photos through beautiful, branded galleries. Clients can view, favorite, and download their images. The free plan includes a generous storage allocation to get you started.

Basic Website

Get a portfolio website at your creav.io URL. Showcase your work with a clean, mobile-responsive design. Add your bio, services, and contact information.

What's Not Included

  • Custom domain: Free plan uses creav.io/yourname
  • Automation workflows: Manual sending only on free
  • Advanced analytics: Basic stats only
  • Priority support: Standard response times
  • White-label branding: creavio badge appears on galleries

When to Upgrade

Most photographers hit the upgrade point when they're booking 3-5 sessions per month consistently. At that volume, automation pays for itself by saving hours of manual follow-up. The custom domain alone makes your business look more professional.

There's no pressure to upgrade. The free plan works indefinitely, and your data is never deleted or restricted.
