They do video clips and UGC-style content from the same shoot, which is what most stores actually need now. Add-ons stack up fast though - hand models ~$79/hr, full-body ~$159/hr, stylist ~$149/hr, HMU ~$299/model. ([soona pricing](https://soona.co/blog/product-photography-pricing), [PricingSaaS](https://pricingsaas.com/companies/soona))\n\n## 2. Squareshot - when you want a consistent, premium catalog look\nFrom ~$50/image, studios in NY and LA, packages split into catalog / creative / model shoots, turnaround from about 8 business days with a claimed 98.5% on-time rate. The reason to pay more than soona is creative direction and shot-for-shot consistency across a growing catalog. ([Squareshot](https://www.squareshot.com/post/best-product-photography-services))\n\n## 3. Snappr - when the product can't be shipped\nMarketplace of photographers who come to you: ~$89/hr value tier, ~$169/hr all-inclu", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
