## The answer, as recorded

> Here's who I'd actually point you to, roughly in the order I'd try them.
> 
> ## Ship-in studios (best default for a retail shop with real inventory)
> 
> **1. soona** - my first recommendation for most shops. You mail products in, pay **$39 per photo / $93 per video clip**, and you only pay for the shots you keep. No minimums, so it works whether you have 5 SKUs or 200, and they do video clips in the same shoot - which matters more than stills now if you're posting to TikTok/Reels. ([soona.co/pricing](https://soona.co/pricing))
> 
> **2. Squareshot** - step up in quality for anything with fine detail (jewelry, textured fabrics, packaging with foil/embossing). Fixed per-image pricing (reported around **$50/image**, ~8 business day turnaround), NY-based studio, and they'll do test shots before committing to the full batch. That test-shot step is worth a lot if you're nervous about mailing off inventory. ([squareshot.com](https://www.squareshot.com/ecommerce-product-photography-service))
> 
> **3. Shootify** - the one to use if you have a *big* catalog. They run 3,500-5,000 SKUs/month at **from $26/image**, 6-8 day turnaround, and cover ghost mannequin and flat lay for apparel. Clients include Adida

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
