Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Blinkbid is an indispensable tool for my commercial photography business" April 25, 2018 5.0 Pros This software helps me in an essential part of my commercial photography business. Each week I create several bids for photo campaigns. Blinkbid makes it easy for me to build my estimates. An absolutely essential element is that is helps me determine licensing-- how much to charge for use/usage of my photos. Basically you can enter the industry, number of images, where they will be used, and your experience... then it suggests a range of what to charge. I would have NO idea where to start without it. Saves time and helps answer difficult questions! Cons I really have no complaints about the software... more just a complaint in photography that so many businesses are trying to get away without paying licensing fees nowadays!

" July 2, 2023 5.0 Pros Blinkbid has all I need for professional invoicing and is \[sensitive content hidden\] es for professional photographers. Cons It’s cost. While I love the product. $26 a month is high for a single use program for a freelancer.

Photographer / Director of Photography Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Customer Support is TERRIBLE" December 10, 2018 3.0 Was good until this issue. Pros Comprehensive, easy to share and industry standard Cons Customer service is HORRIBLE. Didnt respond to a single email of mine for customer support. I cant trust a company that doesnt help when in need using THEIR product!

Photographer Photography Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Probably one of the best tools for creatives" July 29, 2019 4.0 Pros It allows you to work with different types of "personalities" which are representations of different types of services (photography, video, etc.). It also allows you to operate in different countries, providing all documents in different languages and currencies. Cons First time set up can be time & energy consuming. Once you're done, it's smooth like a baby's bottom. Switched from [Sprout Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/147969/Sprout-Studio/) Overall, I find BB doing more of what I need. It's cheaper, too.

The reports I can generate such as year end profit and accounts payable are very useful. Cons no complaints, per se. I would like to have an iPad app version at some point, to easily make alterations to existing estimates, send estimates when on locations. Review Source David Paul L. New York fashion photographer / Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ive been using blinkbid for years" April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros The ease of use and simplicity of the menus. The customer service is always fast and responsive. Most of my creative friends use it and love it. Cons I have no complaints. Over the years they have fixed many of the issues i had. For some reason capterra makes you write a minimum of 100 characters-such a waste of time Review Source Sam D. Assistant Professor of Photography Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software for emerging professionals" April 19, 2018 4.0 Pros As an educator for young creatives I love the tools that it puts in the hands of young professionals entering the workplace. It saves them a lot of time (and myself) allowing them to answer many of their own questions about bidding, billing, taxes etc. The software covers quite a bit and it is a solid tool to do bids etc. Cons I don't think I have any cons against this product. I think some younger users may complain about the cost but I think the results more than justify the costs in saved frustration.

April 25, 2018 5.0 Providing easy-to-read estimates for photography proposals is a huge benefit. I believe I am awarded more jobs due the the transparent nature of the software, with all my billing and photography terms outlined upfront. Pros Blinkbid has taken all the scattered elements of bidding on commercial photography projects and organized them into an intuitive, easy to use online platform. What I like MOST about this software, is the ability to draft up a job estimate fairly quickly, since all the billing elements are ready to be selected. Cons Would love to be able to share and deliver estimates and invoices using an online link rather than downloading and uploading PDFs.

Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "good product terrible customer service" December 15, 2019 4.0 Customer service is terrible. I wish there was another product out there. I have needed support for three weeks now and can't get anyone on the phone or email me back. Pros functionality and ease of use. usage tracking is great Cons good luck if you have an issue.

Pros I am a professional photographer and I use Blinkbid multiple times a day for many different aspects of the jobs i do. From production and bidding to estimating and contracts.

It was a huge relief to not have to use spreadsheets anymore on my estimates. Cons When other photographers and Reps don't have a subscription to it!

Photographer Photography Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I am in love with BlinkBid" October 3, 2018 5.0 I love BlinkBid. The software is intuitive. The little questions I had were answered. I love BlinkBid. Pros I love everything about the software. As a photographer, this software is a blessing. I am new to the business of photography and now I can bid on work with complete confidence. I love that I can plan out my project as I create my bid. The website, in the,​ don't panic section, there is a step by step look at what a bid looks like, what questions to ask. It is clear that BlinkBid cares for my success and that makes me love them. I wrote an email to the owner about a concern I had and he responded right away. I was shocked. They make updates with us in mind. I would recommend this to anyone. They have helped me make so much money, I think it's unfair. I love BlinkBid. Cons The only con I had with this software was that I was not able to send estimates and invoices directly from BlinkBid, but now you can. Not only that​ but now the invoices are better and more detailed. My customers love it. Review Source DH DAVID H.

March 14, 2018 5.0 A consistent tool to help price my work. Pros Are you ever stuck not knowing what to charge someone for an image or a photoshoot? Blinkbid has you covered, and has made my life easier so many times. Cons Once you get to know the software, Blinkbid is really wonderful, but there is certainly a learning curve to the program. Review Source MB Michael B. Multi Media Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Blinkbid takes the pain out of invoicing" July 1, 2017 5.0 Painless billing Pros I love the new cloud interface for Blinkbid. I am a paperwork procrastinator and look for any reasons not to do it but Blinkbid has taken that all away. To bill my repeat monthly clients I just duplicate last months invoice and I'm done. The categories are plentiful and the line items only show up when populated so you don't scare a client with 4 pages of possible charge categories. It's easy to set up your own categories as well. I quickly created one for billing as a speaker to track that income separately. Review Source Tony G. Manfrotto Ambassador Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Blink Bid is the most helpful software for creating an accurate estimate" May 15, 2018 5.0 Pros It is customizable and has most of the categories I need already included.

No complaints from me Review Source EM Emily M. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Prompt, professional, and nice customer service. Great product for a great price!" June 30, 2017 5.0 It keeps me organized and streamlines my invoicing and estimating. My clients are also pleased with how organized and clear their invoices look for their reference. Pros It's streamlined my estimating and invoicing and keeps it organized. I also no that the customer service is extremely reliable and helpful whenever I don't understand something. Cons My only suggestion is that the product could extend to the wedding and portrait photographer as well. That would require certain terminology and line item adjustments. Review Source KM Kathryn M. Photographer/Marketer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vital to running my photography business" April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Multi featured, well laid out and easy to navigate, the creator has a thorough understanding of what a photographer needs in an estimating and invoicing software to run a business in a professional manner. Cons I would like the ability to customize the licensing fields in a more intuitive way. There are drop-down menus for filling in the fields but it is not clear where those can be customized. Review Source AB Ammo B. Photographer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Blinkbid makes it easy to keep track of my clients, licensing and overhead costs.
