Free is one shoot at a time, for as long as you like
Not a trial and not a countdown: wrap a project and the next one is free too. There are only two reasons to pay us — you have several shoots open at once, or you have other people in the day with you.
Free
One shoot at a time
$0a month
Not a trial. No card, no countdown, and nothing expires.

- One active project — wrap it and start another
- 250 MB of moodboard and reference media
- Shared documents carry a “Planned with Latentshoot” line

Billed monthly. $180 a year instead saves $36.Billed $180 a year — two months free on $216.
For the week where you are prepping a lookbook, scheduling a product day and still finishing last month’s editorial. The only thing the free plan stops is the second live job, so this is the plan for running several at once.
- Unlimited active projects
- 10 GB of moodboard and reference media
- Documents go out with nothing but your work on them
- Share links can be set to expire on a date
Studio
You work with other people
$49a month
$40.83a month
Billed monthly. $490 a year instead saves $98.Billed $490 a year — two months free on $588.
An assistant or a producer in the same workspace, and the live link that lets the crew and the client see where the day has got to without ringing you — to watch, not to change. Seats and the live link are one purchase because they are one situation.
- Unlimited active projects
- 50 GB of moodboard and reference media
- Documents go out with nothing but your work on them
- Share links can be set to expire on a date
- 3 seats in one workspace
- A live link the crew and the client can watch
Every account starts on Free, so there is no card at sign-up and nothing to cancel if you walk away. Moving to Pro or Studio takes two clicks from Account → Plan once you are in. Only the team owner can change the plan.
Prices are in US dollars. Pro is $18 monthly or $180 a year; Studio is $49 monthly or $490 a year.
Read this before you assume
On-set mode is never behind a plan
The screen you hold on the day — your running order, what is next, the tap that records what a set-up really took and moves the rest of the day up behind it — is on every plan, including the free one. It works with no signal, and it works on Free. Just open the day before you lose signal: Latentshoot cannot fetch one it has never seen.
Charging you to watch your own day would be charging for the single reason to keep the tab open. So we do not.
What Studio buys is the shared copy of that screen: a link the crew and the client can open to see where the day has got to — to watch, not to change — without an account and without ringing you. That belongs with the seats, because both are one situation — working with other people. See what on-set mode does.
You get all of this on every plan, Free included
- The shot list, with groups, tags and full stills specs
- The schedule and the daylight band, worked out rather than typed
- The call sheet and the printed shot list
- On-set mode, taps that survive a dead spot, and the wrap report
- Share links that open with no account, for anyone holding the link
There are exactly six things a plan controls, and they are all in the table below. Nothing else in Latentshoot is behind a plan.
Side by side
What a plan actually controls
There are six, and Latentshoot holds you to them the moment you add something new. If a row says a number, that is the number — not a suggestion.
| What you get | FreeFree, always | Pro$18 a month | Studio$49 a month |

| SeatsEveryone in the workspace, counting you and any invitation still outstanding. | 1 | 1 | 3 |

The awkward questions
Money, honestly
It is another subscription, and I already resent the ones I have.
You are probably already paying for Lightroom, a CRM, cloud backup and accounting, and all of it bills you whether or not you shoot a frame. Fair. We are not trying to join that list — Latentshoot does not do invoicing, contracts, bookings or gallery delivery, and it never will.
What it replaces is free: the spreadsheet, the notes app and the call sheet template you retype every job. So the honest comparison is not $18 against zero, it is $18 against the hour you spend rebuilding the same document, on every shoot, forever. If you shoot a few times a year, that hour is cheaper than we are and you should stay on Free.
What happens to my work if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted. You drop back to Free and the limits apply again from that moment on: you cannot open a second active project until you wrap one, uploads pause until you are back under 250 MB, and the “Planned with Latentshoot” line comes back on shared documents.
Every shoot you have already planned stays exactly where it is: readable, shareable and printable. A limit only ever stops you adding something new. It never stops you opening what is already there.
My card failed in the middle of a production. Do I lose the day?
No. A failed payment does not drop your plan on the spot. The card is tried again over the next few days, and for that whole window you stay on the plan you paid for — because a bounced card must never be the reason a call sheet is missing on a shoot morning.
Only if it never goes through does the plan drop back to Free — and even then, see the answer above: nothing goes away.
Can I switch plans, or change my mind?
Yes, whenever you like, without asking anyone. Upgrading, downgrading, card details, invoices and cancelling all sit one click from your account page. No call to sit through, and no retention conversation.
Monthly to annual, or annual back to monthly, is in the same place. Only the team owner can open it.
Is annual actually cheaper, or is it just a longer commitment?
It is cheaper. Pro at $180 a year against $216 paid month by month keeps $36 in your pocket; Studio at $490 against $588 keeps $98.
That is two months free on either plan. Start monthly if you are unsure — nothing about the annual price expires.
I would be faster in a spreadsheet.
For your first shot list, quite possibly. But a spreadsheet will not then build your running order, lay it against the daylight, work out the gear or set the call sheet. And it will not move your afternoon up when hair and make-up run forty minutes long.
That is where your time goes, and it goes there on every single shoot. See how the schedule builds itself.
Questions
Before you decide
Can I put a password on a share link?
Not yet. It will live on Studio, and the plan already allows for it, but we are still building the password screen — so if that is the only thing you want from Studio, wait. For now your share link is an address nobody could guess at, and you can switch it off at any time.
Is the free plan a trial?
No. Free gives you one active project at a time, for as long as you want it. Wrap or archive a shoot and the next one is free as well. No countdown, no card, and nothing that expires.
Is on-set mode included on the free plan?
Yes. Your own live view of the shoot day is on every plan, free included. It is the screen the whole product exists for, and charging you to watch your own day would be charging for the reason to stay. What Studio buys is the shared copy of it: a link the crew and the client can open to see where the day has got to, without being able to change it.
What counts as an active project?
Anything you have not wrapped or archived yet. A finished shoot never counts against the limit, so on Free you can plan 1 job at a time and still keep every job you have already done.
Do my clients and crew need an account to open a link?
No. Your share link opens for anyone holding it — no sign-in, no app, nothing to install — on every plan, Free included. Treat the link itself as the key, and only send it to people who should have it.
Can I add an assistant on Pro?
No. Pro is 1 seat — you. Seats come with Studio, 3 seats of them, along with the live share link, because both answer the same situation: working with other people.
What happens if I reach the storage limit?
New uploads stop, and everything already uploaded carries on working. Free holds 250 MB of moodboard and reference media, Pro 10 GB and Studio 50 GB.
What exactly is the watermark on the free plan?
One line reading “Planned with Latentshoot” on call sheets and shared views. It is not on your photographs, and it is not stamped across the page. Pro and Studio take it off.
I only shoot a few times a year. Should I pay?
Probably not, and we would rather say so. If you have one job open at a time and nobody else needs to see it, Free is the whole product for you. We earn our money from photographers running several shoots at once, or a crew who need the day in front of them.
Plan the next one properly
Start on Free with a real shoot: a whole job, end to end, with the call sheet at the end of it. Decide about paying when a second one turns up.
No card, no call, no trial clock. Create an account with an email address and the first project is yours. Upgrading later takes two clicks from Account → Plan.
