Swift Galleries Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

I LOVE that I can show my clients how different sizes and products look on their own walls. It is the most useful thing ever. Helps enormously in decision making.

If I have to choose something, I don't use the slideshow feature because I make my own outside of Swift Galleries. However a new feature now is that you can import your own slideshow! Swift Galleries just keeps going from strength to strength!

Hey Marla, thanks for your kind words. We're so glad we can continue to deliver awesome customer service and new features for you!

Room view is super easy, text me a picture, and upload it using the link, super easy!

I wished I could make the picture any size I wanted and it not be limited to the sizes I have already placed in the system in advance. Because obviously we can get about any size from our lab, and sometimes I need to tweak the size, even though it is not in my normal offering, I can still get that size and create a gallery for it. The system will not let me size to a size I have not already pre-determined and built in my collections. Alos. I have not have any customers yet want to review the galleries or send me a room of their home. I have offered and tried, and nothing. I think it's good but I am not probably using it to the best of it's capabilities. I do not use Swift Galleries for the actual slide show and viewing at all, I use Lightroom, because there isn't various categories to use when selecting. There is not enough variety to star options, like LR has. it just yes or no. I want to mark ones the love and separately and leave the others for possibility. Or categorize by a color label who wants that (grandma or mom) etc. It just does not have enough robust filtering through the images, so I don't use it for that. Also, it does not offer any cropping to show the client. If a client is looking at a shot and they need to see what it would look like cropped to another size not in the aspect ratio, you can't show that. I think it's great at room views, but the rest lacks.

Hi Stephanie, thanks for your honest review! We do agree that our yes/no for choosing images is much more simple than LR, but we did built it to help you move quickly through that process, because we all know that a slow or stalled meeting trying to make those choosing decisions can really slow things down and give clients decision fatigue. As far as getting clients to review/send room photos, take a look at the Path to Printmaker, I think the Learn module might be the best place to start. As far as cropping, when you place an image into a product in the designer, you will edit/choose the crop. Crops are not available when you're choosing images, and they are not available in the add-ons section for non-wall art.

It can show circle products on walls! It's easy to calibrate uploaded room views.

Designing wall galleries is painful, not intuitive and extremely tedious. It can be done, but I wish it was user friendly drag and drop like n-vu. The included rooms are awful, ugly and unprofessional. Plan to invest several hundred in better rooms.

Thanks for your review! We're sorry you haven't found the workflow intuitive. We'd love to get on a call and walk through your use case to see what may work better! You may also not be using keyboard and double-click shortcuts in the designer. "Opportunities" are for sales meeting, but if you're just creating something to show a client without adding other products and checking out, clicking Design from inside that client area will do the trick - design and save any suggestions there and you can download and share.

I love everything about Swift Galleries! Seriously, they are the best. I had a client who had chosen 2 canvases worth $3000, based on a wall mock-up of her bedroom wall, with plans for her wedding one later this year. Well, she was repainting her room and was talking about changing her order completely. I met with her again in person and talked to her and then showed her the mock-up once more. She was in love again and decided to not change it at all. Because of Swift Galleries, I saved a big order and now that she has the two canvases, while anticipating her one from her wedding this May (2019), she is beyond excited and in love. I have mock-ups on our website of different walls and photos because of Swift Galleries. It has been one of the best tools in my business! 😍💕

I don’t know if this is covered already, but the one thing that bugs me is that the resize tool for the templates won’t let you choose sizes that aren’t in that product type. This is slightly annoying for custom sizes. But other than that, I’m sold for life! 😍

Hi Jessica, thanks for your honest review! We're so glad Swift Galleries and the Path to Printmaker have been helpful tools for your business; it's really why we do what we do! You're correct that we do not allow you to resize products to sizes you do not already have built. We're talking about other ways to handle this going forward but don't have concrete plans. What we want to make sure is that you don't offer (and sell) a size that either you can't deliver on, or a size that comes with a huge customization fee you don't have factored into the price if you just base it on similar sizes. Thanks so much for all of your interaction with us over the years; we're excited to see your photography business continue to flourish in 2019!

This software has changed my life. Seriously. Gone are the days that I feel like I'm not good enough. Using this software has made me THE professional to my clients. It's also given me a larger purpose to my business. This has been hands down the best thing I've EVER done as a photographer for my business. The subscription fee is so nominal to the amount of money that I've made from using swift galleries and the personal business coaching that it provides is so helpful. In the year that I've been using swift galleries I've made the most money that I've ever made as a photographer. I can't imagine not using swift galleries!

There are some aspects of the sale meeting that I don't like - maybe it's because I'm not spending as much time in the sale meeting as I do in the design phase. For instance, when customers want to make changes to the wall gallery I can't figure it out and often times have to go into a separate tab to make the changes, save the suggestion, and then go back to the IPSmeeting. I also wish there was a way to totally create a gallery with your client just in those cases they don't like what you've created or the gallery creation goes a totally different way while with the client. But again, maybe this is because I spend less time in the sales meeting aspect rather than the design phase.

Kaitlin! This is amazing, thank you so much! We've had such a blast watching your business grow and it's only just begun! Thanks for being a member and a friend. :) Also, you can totally do all of that stuff you mentioned (design during the Sales Meeting, etc.), let's jump on a call and I'll walk you through it.
