## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's who I'd actually point you to, grouped by how you'd use them.
> 
> ## Mail-in studios (you ship products, they shoot and edit)
> 
> **soona** - my default recommendation for most small-to-mid stores. ~$39/photo with a $149 studio pass, 24-hour turnaround, and a native Shopify app that pushes images straight into listings. The pay-per-asset model (you only buy the shots you like from the shoot) is the least risky way to start. Good for hero shots, white background, and UGC-style content.

> 
> **Squareshot** - pick this over soona if you sell apparel or footwear. ~$50/image flat with retouching included and no studio pass, and they do proper invisible-mannequin/ghost-mannequin work that soona charges extra for. Turnaround is slower (1-3 weeks), so it's for planned catalog drops, not rush jobs.

> 
> **Shootify** - best value on volume and the strongest choice if Amazon is your main channel. From ~$26/photo, video from ~$65, plus 360 spins and 3
