Lightmeter

Lightmeter is an AI-native CRM for photographers that reads client inquiries, drafts replies, and handles proposals, contracts, and payments from one link. It connects to your Gmail and uses AI to read incoming inquiries, extract names, dates, and budgets, and draft replies in your voice while you shoot, organizing your inbox into Drafts, Unread, and All tabs. Its one-link checkout combines a proposal, an e-signature contract, and card payment, and auto-generates an invoice PDF after payment, removing the need for separate DocuSign-style tools and back-and-forth emails. As an AI CRM for photographers, Lightmeter also includes a dashboard with revenue, booking trends, and inquiry sources, a calendar for tracking shoots and payment deadlines, a per-client timeline of every email, proposal, contract, and payment, and Stripe payments built in. It offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required and lists a single plan starting at $19/month with everything included; the homepage compares it against HoneyBook ($29/mo) and Dubsado ($28/mo).

Photographers use it to auto-draft client inquiry replies and manage proposals, e-sign contracts, payments, and bookings in one CRM.
