Detailed Review
Capturely is built around the delivery moment. A client opens one link with no app or login, hearts favourites up to the number in the package, leaves a note on a frame and submits, and the photographer is notified and exports the list for Lightroom or Capture One.
Originals can be downloaded at full resolution, RAW included, as single files or a zip. Galleries can be locked with a password, proofs can carry a watermark while downloads are off, and the client view comes in 12 languages.
The imprint names Kamden MB, a small partnership registered in the Lithuanian Register of Legal Entities under company code 307013462, at Perkūnkiemio g. 19 in Vilnius, with VAT code LT100019389018.
The terms follow the law of the member state where that company is established, and the lead data protection authority is the Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate. The privacy policy says the application and its database are hosted in the EEA and Switzerland, while photo files go to a storage provider that may process data outside the EEA, covered by adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, with the provider unnamed on the pages checked.
The free plan holds one active gallery and 15 GB, with galleries open for 14 days. Pro is €10 a month or €70 a year for unlimited galleries, 120 GB, a custom domain and visitor analytics; Studio is €25 a month or €180 a year with 500 GB. Every new account gets 14 days of Pro without a card. No VAT is added while the company uses the Lithuanian small-business scheme. The site gives no founding year.
What Capturely does well
- Galleries close on a date you set and then delete themselves, originals included
- Clients pick within a package limit, with no app or login
- Full-resolution and RAW downloads and password protection on the free plan
- Lithuanian partnership with company code, address and VAT code in the imprint
- Application and database hosted in the EEA and Switzerland
Where Capturely falls short
- Photo storage provider is not named and may process data outside the EEA
- Free plan allows one active gallery, open for 14 days
- Small partnership with the manager not named on the page, so a continuity question for client archives
- Video delivery, custom domain and white-label client emails need a paid plan
- No founding year or certifications stated
Standout feature. It is the only tool here whose galleries delete themselves, originals included, on a date the photographer sets.
