Stop chasing checks.
Photos don't download until you're paid.

No — a card is required at signup to activate your trial, but nothing is charged until day 15. You get 14 days of full access at zero cost. We'll email you a reminder before your trial ends so there are no surprises. Cancel any time before day 15 and you pay nothing.

You'll be prompted to enter a payment method to continue at $29.99/month. If you choose not to subscribe, your account is paused and your data is kept safe for 30 days — so nothing is lost if you come back later.

Yes. You can add clients manually in minutes, or import them in bulk using a CSV. Most photographers are set up with their full client list in under 30 minutes. There's no onboarding fee or help needed — the setup guide walks you through it step by step.

ApertureOps supports 15 payment methods including Stripe, PayPal (with auto-confirmation), Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Apple Cash, Google Pay, Square, and more. You configure whichever ones you already use — clients see them directly on their invoice.

Every morning at 7am, ApertureOps sends you a personalized email built from your actual data — upcoming shoots, overdue invoices with names and amounts, clients who haven't booked in 45+ days, and one specific growth action for the day. It's not generic advice — it reads your actual business and tells you exactly what to do.

Yes. Your business name and logo appear on invoices, client galleries, contracts, and proposals. Clients see your brand — not ApertureOps. You can also set custom email templates with your voice and tone.

Your data is encrypted in your browser's local storage and backed up to secure cloud storage. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2 (310,000 iterations). Your AI key, if you add one, is encrypted with AES-GCM using a device-derived key — we never see it. All connections are HTTPS-only.

Yes — the app is fully responsive and works on iOS and Android via your mobile browser. Many photographers use it on-site to pull up client notes, log a shoot, or send a quick invoice right after a session.

Yes. While ApertureOps is built around real estate photography workflows, you can use it for any project type — video, commercial, weddings, portraits.

Most photographers are fully set up — business profile, first client, first project, payment method connected — within about 20 minutes. The onboarding checklist in the dashboard walks you through every step. No calls, no onboarding fees.

Yes, always. Cancel from your Settings page in one click — no calls, no cancellation forms. You keep access until the end of your billing period and can export all your data at any time.
