> **1. Soona** - My first recommendation for most shops. You mail the products, book a slot, and can direct the shoot live over video, then pay per asset you actually keep - published rates around $39/photo and ~$93/video clip, with studio booking fees from about $149. The pay-for-what-you-pick model is the most forgiving if you don't know yet how many angles you need, and they do packshots, lifestyle, and on-model in the same session.

> **2. Squareshot** - Pick this when the images carry the brand, not just the listing. Same ship-in model but more art-directed, from roughly $50/image or $750 for a 2-hour block, with standard retouching included and the option to approve shots as they're made. Higher starting spend than Soona, better output for hero and campaign images.
