The short answer
At the most common entry size, 50 GB for a year, Picsora is the cheapest of the apps that publish prices: ₹4,499 a year (about ₹375 a month). FotoOwl is about ₹5,928 a year and Samaro ₹7,200 a year for the same 50 GB. If you only need a single event, Samaro's ₹1,998 event pack or a free tier may cost less.

Cheapest - and still the most premium
Low price usually means a basic gallery and someone else's logo. Picsora's lowest plan gives the same guest experience as the top one:
- No-app QR and selfie delivery, private to each guest, with family selfies
- Your logo and two watermarks on every gallery and download
- WhatsApp alerts for guests who joined early, so nobody has to chase you for photos
- Upgrade to Starter for 7 gallery designs and a portfolio, or Plus for your own URL, camera-to-cloud and AI culling
- Full white label on your own domain when your studio is ready

Free AI photo sharing options
If you just want to try AI delivery on one event before paying, these are the free options:
- Picsora - 1 month with 10 GB, no credit card; Studio CRM also has a free plan with 5 leads, 5 quotations and 5 bookings
- FotoOwl - free for life, capped at 1,000 images
- Photomall - 6-month free trial, 1,000 images
- Samaro - one free event, 50 guests, 5 GB, 15 days
- Kamero - first event free
Hidden costs to check before you buy
The entry price is only part of the bill. Ask each vendor about:
- Per-photo credits that run out in wedding season
- WhatsApp messages charged per message
- Storage that is not freed when you delete an old event
- Branding, your own domain or gallery designs locked to higher tiers
- A separate CRM you still have to pay for to run enquiries and bookings
Cheapest for the whole studio, not just delivery
Most studios also pay for something to manage enquiries, quotations and bookings - often a spreadsheet plus a lot of WhatsApp. Picsora sells Studio CRM separately (free plan, then ₹7,999 a year for Pro), so a studio can run delivery and the business for less than many single-purpose tools cost on their own.
