CloudSpot's pitch is AI. Face recognition organizes shoots automatically, smart tagging speeds up culling, and selection workflows pre-bucket favorites before the client even logs in. If you shoot high-volume work (weddings, schools, events), those features can compress hours into minutes. delivered.photos doesn't ship AI features today. It bets on a minimal, fast gallery that does the obvious job well, without ML models in the loop. Pick CloudSpot if AI is doing real labor in your workflow. Pick delivered.photos if it's not.

No. Face recognition isn't a feature today, and it isn't on the near-term roadmap. If face-grouping or auto-selection is core to how you deliver, CloudSpot is the more direct fit.
Maybe, if there's a feature where AI genuinely helps a photographer move faster without compromising client privacy. Today, the product intentionally leans away from AI in the client-facing flow.
Both prioritize mobile. delivered.photos' viewer stays minimal, using a masonry layout, full-bleed images, swipe to navigate, and tap-and-hold favorites. CloudSpot's is solid too, and layers in AI-driven discovery on top.
On the gallery experience alone, yes. Starter is free, Pro is €9/mo annual, Studio is €22/mo annual. The comparison gets harder if you'd use CloudSpot's AI features daily, which justify their cost differently.
There's no automated migration. The practical path is to keep existing CloudSpot galleries live until they expire, and create new client deliveries on delivered.photos.
Starter is free. Put one real shoot in a gallery before you move anything off CloudSpot.
