The Apture beta · The First 50
Join the beta: 2 months free, then 25% off for good.
Apture is new, and we're looking for 50 working photographers to run their studio on it and tell us what to make better. Beta testers get every feature free for 2 months, then 25% off their plan for as long as they stay.
No card needed to start.

“When I first became a photographer, I couldn't find a platform I liked that did everything I wanted for a good price. I was looking for something a little more capable than Session, so I built it.”
How is this different from the regular free trial?
The regular trial is 14 days at the usual price. While beta spots are left, every Start free button on this site gives you the beta instead, for the first 50 studios: 60 days free, then 25% off for good.
Who is the beta for?
Working photographers who book and deliver sessions: portraits, families, weddings, mini sessions, headshots and brands. Solo or with a small team.
Do I need a card to sign up?
No. You get 60 days with every feature and no card. Choose a plan before the trial ends and add your card then.
How much can I upload during the free days?
20GB, enough to try galleries with real work. Moving a bigger archive over? Your plan's full storage starts with your first payment, when your 60 free days are up.
What does the discount cover?
25% off whichever plan you choose, monthly or yearly. Extra team seats are at their usual price.
How long does the price last?
For as long as you're on Apture, even if its prices go up. Switching plans keeps the 25% off. If you cancel, the discount ends with your plan and doesn't come back if you return later.
What happens when the trial ends?
Nothing is deleted straight away. You can sign in and see everything, and your client galleries keep working. New uploads, galleries and online bookings wait until you choose a plan, and we'll email you a month, two weeks and a few days before the trial ends. A studio that never chooses a plan is deleted 60 days after its trial ends, with email warnings a month and a week before.
What do you ask in return?
Honest feedback. We'll ask a few short questions along the way, and if you're up for it, a quick call. Tell us what's missing and what gets in your way; it shapes what we build next.
Limited to the first 50 studios.
When the beta is full, Apture goes back to a 14-day trial at the regular price.
