Image Depot vs Zenfolio

Both let you deliver and sell photos to clients online. Here's how the two actually differ, on the specifics that affect your bottom line -- not a marketing spin.

Image DepotZenfolio
Commission on sales0% on every paid plan, starting at $10/moA 7% commerce fee on Professional and Advanced, plus separate Stripe/PayPal payment-processing fees on top -- Zenfolio's own Basic plan ($9/mo) can't sell products at all without an add-on
Storage12GB (Starter, $10/mo) up to 250GB (Studio, $55/mo)By Zenfolio's own pricing page: 15GB (Basic, $9/mo), 150GB (Professional, $23/mo) -- more raw storage per dollar than Image Depot at that tier, worth comparing directly
PayoutsYour own Square account, funds settle directly to your bank, one flat 0%Split across a commerce fee and a separate payment processor fee, so the real cost of a sale depends on two line items, not one

Zenfolio's Professional tier genuinely beats Image Depot's Starter on raw storage per dollar -- said plainly. But selling anything on Zenfolio's entry plan requires an add-on, and its paid tiers stack a 7% commerce fee on top of separate payment-processing fees. Image Depot's 0% is one flat number, no stacking, starting at the first paid plan.

Figures for Zenfolio are pulled from their own public pricing page as of September 2026 and may have changed since -- confirm current numbers directly at zenfolio.com/zen-plans.
