Is Zenfolio worth the price?

75/10

Zenfolio's pricing is fair for photographers, with the Professional tier at €21/mo offering significant value for those looking to sell their work.

The Basic tier at €9/mo is a good entry point for showcasing, but limited storage might be a bottleneck. The Advanced tier at €40/mo is well-suited for high-volume professionals needing unlimited storage and advanced features like 4K video and booking.
