## The answer, as recorded

> # Best product photography options for an online store
> 
> There's no single "best" - it splits into three buckets depending on whether you need someone to shoot your actual product, just clean up shots you already have, or generate scenes with AI. Here's what I'd actually use, in order.
> 
> ## Ship-your-product studio services (best default)
> 
> **1. Soona** - My top pick for most small-to-mid stores. You ship the product, direct the shoot remotely over video, then pay only for the shots you keep: ~$39/photo and ~$93/video clip, plus a studio booking fee (~$149). The pay-per-keeper model is the key thing - you're not gambling $1,500 on a day rate before seeing anything. Strong on Amazon/Shopify-ready specs and short-form video, which matters more than stills now.
> 
> **2. Squareshot** - Better choice when you want art direction and a premium look rather than clean catalog shots. Product shoots from ~$50/image or ~$750 for 2 hours; model shoots from ~$100/image or ~$2,950 for a 4-hour shoot. More expensive than Soona but noticeably more considered output. Use it for hero/lifestyle images, not your 200-SKU catalog.
> 
> **3. Snappr** - Best when the product can't ship: furniture, perishables, large
