The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Remini the free trial is short, commonly around 3 days, or in some markets billed weekly, and automatically converts into a recurring paid charge unless the user cancels beforehand, a pattern that has generated substantial complaints about unexpected charges.; ShootProof storage is counted in photos rather than gigabytes, so a wedding photographer delivering three thousand frames per job crosses tier boundaries within a handful of weddings regardless of how small the files are.
  • They diverge on capability: Remini covers AI photo enhancement, ShootProof covers Proofing galleries.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Remini

  • The free trial is short, commonly around 3 days, or in some markets billed weekly, and automatically converts into a recurring paid charge unless the user cancels beforehand, a pattern that has generated substantial complaints about unexpected charges.
  • Cancellation must be done through Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings rather than a clear control inside the app, adding friction at the exact point a user wants to stop paying.
  • Generating AI avatars requires uploading a set of personal selfies for AI processing, and users should check the company's documented data retention and usage policy for those images rather than assume standard photo-app privacy norms.
  • Nearly all meaningful enhancement and avatar functionality is locked behind the paid tier, so the free download functions mainly as a gateway to the trial rather than a usable standalone product.
  • AI photo enhancement can produce inaccurate reconstructed detail, particularly on faces in badly degraded source photos, meaning restored details are AI-generated approximations rather than a true recovery of the original image.

ShootProof

  • Storage is counted in photos rather than gigabytes, so a wedding photographer delivering three thousand frames per job crosses tier boundaries within a handful of weddings regardless of how small the files are.
  • Gallery presentation is plainer than Pic-Time and Pixieset, which matters at the high end where the gallery is part of the product the client is paying for.
  • There is no bundled website or blog builder, so photographers still pay a separate hosting subscription that competitors include in the same fee.
  • Print fulfilment is strongest with North American labs, and photographers outside that region face longer lead times, higher shipping and a shorter list of usable products.
  • Support is email and ticket based with no telephone line, which is awkward when a client gallery fails on the evening before a delivery deadline.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Remini: Does Remini have a free trial?

Yes, typically around 3 days, or a weekly billing option in some markets, after which it automatically converts to a paid recurring subscription unless cancelled beforehand.

ShootProof: Does ShootProof take a cut of print sales?

No. Every plan, including the free one, keeps zero percent of print and download revenue. You pay only the subscription and the lab cost.

Remini: How do I cancel a Remini subscription?

Cancellation is done through Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings, not through a button inside the Remini app itself.

ShootProof: Is the free plan usable for real work?

Only for small jobs. One hundred photos covers a single short portrait session, so it works as a trial rather than as a business tier.

Remini: What happens to selfies uploaded for AI avatar generation?

They are processed by AI models to generate the stylised output; users should review the company data retention and usage policy for specifics rather than assume standard photo-editing privacy practices apply.

ShootProof: Can I use my own lab?

Yes. You can fulfil orders yourself or through a lab that ShootProof does not integrate with, but you then handle ordering and shipping manually.
