Title: New Smugmug pricing
Post by: dbvirago on September 01, 2012, 09:59
Anyone else on Smugmug get the new pricing email? Pro account will increase 60%.

What do the rest of you use for portfolios? I use Smugmug mostly as an online proofing gallery. Don't sell enough there to justify an increase in price.  I have several months to decide whether to move my images or downgrade my account, but I'm not going from $150 to $250 at SM

Does anyone know of a good comparison of online portfolio hosts?

I haven't gotten that email yet but I logged into my acct and looked up the plans:

This is the new plans. Looks like they renamed the Pro Acct to Business
Basic: $40/year  •  Power: $60/year  •  Portfolio: $150/year  •  Business: $300/year

I'm not up for renewal until April - but no way I'll stay at that price.

Well, I cancelled my account last month and just noticed that they billed me for August even though they deactivated my files in July.

Look into Zenfolio.  I haven't looked at them for quite a while, but they offered everything Smugmug did, lower rates, free watermarks, more file formats Of course I did my research more than a year ago.  The night I was going to switch they were down for maintenance so I stayed at Smug for another year.

I have a Zenfolio premium level account.  This is my second year with them.  I didn't go with Smug Mug because I didn't want their branding.
