The moments
- Sunday night: nineteen unread inquiries, four of them from Thursday.
- The couple who asked for pricing on Tuesday and booked someone else on Friday.
- Writing the same "here is what a wedding with me looks like" email for the ninth time this week.
- Realising two proposals went out for the same Saturday.
What goes wrong
- The reply goes out late, and late replies lose the couple who was choosing between three photographers.
- A date is called available from memory, and it was not.
- The inquiry lives in Gmail, the proposal in a PDF tool, the contract in a third place; nothing knows the others exist.
- Follow-ups are on you, so they happen when you remember, which is after the wedding is booked elsewhere.
What Booksui does
- Every inquiry lands in the inbox as a conversation with the date, venue, guest count and stated budget beside the reply box, and whether anything else is on your books that day.
- One click drafts a first reply from your calendar and price list, labelled as a draft; you edit and send once. It never claims a date is free.
- The proposal is built from your packages and becomes the contract; the retainer is paid on the same page into your Stripe, and the pipeline moves to Booked only when both are done.
- The reply from the couple comes back to the same thread, and a sequence you switched on pauses the moment they answer.
Honest limits
- Starter holds 10 active inquiries and 5 proposals; at forty a month you would be archiving constantly.
- Pro: unlimited inquiries, 100 AI actions a month, 25 galleries, 100 GB storage.
- The draft reply is a draft. Nothing emails a couple until you press send.

- How much does Booksui cost?
- Starter is free with no card; Pro is $29/mo, Studio is $59/mo and Agency is $99/mo, or $290/year, $590/year and $990/year billed yearly. Pro and Studio start with a 14-day free trial, and client payments go into your own Stripe account.
- Does Booksui have contracts with e-signature?
- Yes — a proposal built from your packages becomes a contract with the client’s details filled in; they sign on their phone, the deposit is requested on the same page, and the signed PDF lands on the job. Templates for weddings, portraits, newborns, events, elopements, commercial work, second shooters and model releases ship with the product.
- What happens when I hit the free limit?
- Nothing you already made is touched: your galleries, clients, contracts and invoices stay exactly as they are and stay open to your clients. When you try to create one more than Starter allows, Booksui stops there and shows the upgrade; upgrading lifts the cap immediately.
