SmugMug costs you $426 per year for their Portfolio plan. Systeme.io provides the same capability to store and deliver digital files and more on the Free plan
Recruit affiliates for free
SmugMug has no way for influencers or models to promote your work for a commission. Systeme.io lets you run your own affiliate program on the Free plan
Send emails without extra cost

Why choose systeme.io over Smugmug?
Stop paying 15% fees
SmugMug keeps 15% of your profit on every single sale you make. That’s a massive tax on your hard work. With systeme.io, you pay $0/month and 0% transaction fees, keeping 100% of the revenue you generate
Send emails for free
SmugMug gives you a gallery, but no way to nurture customers. You have to pay for external email tools. Systeme.io includes unlimited email sending and newsletters natively on the Free plan, so you can turn viewers into buyers
Sell more than just photos
SmugMug limits you to selling prints and digital downloads. With systeme.io, you can sell courses, coaching, and physical merchandise (like custom-framed art or books) using a full inventory system, not just a photo lab integration
Build high-converting funnels
SmugMug offers passive galleries. Systeme.io provides active sales funnels with order bumps and upsells. Instead of hoping people buy a print, guide them through a sales journey that maximizes your average order value
