Is Session or Pixieset enough for your photography business? With CRM prices going up, more photographers are asking whether they really need a full CRM — or if they can get by with the tools they're already paying for. In this episode, I'm taking an honest look at both Session and Pixieset Studio Manager: what they actually do well, where they fall short, and the one thing neither of them can give you — control over your client's timeline.

I'll share stories from two photographers who moved out of Pixieset into Dubsado, including one who went from 90 minutes to five minutes on the proposal phase alone. And I'll tell you exactly who Session is actually right for — because the answer might surprise you.

If you've been wondering whether a full CRM is still worth it, this episode is for you.
