Most studio software covers the same steps: inquiry, proposal, contract, invoice and portal. So does AmberPact. The difference is in the details: reports you can change, real numbers only, and a design that feels like a studio.
Reports you can actually edit
Start from Revenue, Payments, Leads, or Pipeline. Change the date range, stage, source, and widgets. Save the view, pin it to Home, export CSV. “Collected this month” uses the same numbers as your payments list.
Take client payments with Stripe
Connect Stripe in Settings → Client payments, and clients pay your invoices through your own account. This is separate from your AmberPact plan. Until you connect it, invoices show that online payment isn't set up yet.
Colorful on purpose
Coral, sunflower gold, teal, lavender. The admin should feel like a studio, not a loan desk. Brand color paints the inquiry form and the client portal.
Built for photographers and planners first
Pipeline stages named for how creatives book. Suggested contracts and workflows. Vertical pages for photographers, planners, designers, and freelancers — not a generic small-business suite.
Fair pricing and a 30-day trial
Starter $29, Studio $49, Unlimited $79. Yearly knocks two months off. Every plan trials for 30 days. The Golden Hour demo is free, labeled Demo, and never asks for a card.
A portal clients open
One branded URL for the proposal, contract, questionnaire, invoice, and messages. View as client is the same link you send. Typed e-sign with a signing record for every signer.

Stay on another tool if you are deep in its marketplace or a custom form tree you love. Switch if you want reports you own, one processor for client invoices, and a product that looks like a Saturday.
