> Here's who I'd actually use, roughly in the order I'd consider them for a retail shop with a real catalog:
> 
> **1. soona - the default for most retail shops.** You ship products, they shoot, and you pay per asset you keep ($39/photo, ~$93/video clip). The reason I name it first: you can direct the shoot live over video, so you're not paying for a reshoot because the brief was thin. It's also the only one on this list that gives you photo + packshot + UGC-style video + AI variants from one shipment, which matters if you're feeding both a website and social.

> 
> **2. Squareshot - when the look has to be art-directed.** From $50/image or $750 for a 2-hour shoot, ~6-8 day turnaround with revisions through a client portal. Pick this over soona when you need a consistent, considered aesthetic across a collection rather than high-volume clean shots - their model shoots start around $100/image.
