Pricing — one price, one box, one book

Twelve dollars a month. That's the whole thing.

No tier ladder. No premium with metallic foil. No "starter, pro, enterprise" because this isn't software — it's a stack of paper in your hand.

You pay $12. Thirty real prints arrive each month. In December, a hardcover book of the year arrives. That's it.

Printed in Hudson, NY

Same shop, same six people, every month. Your photos don't leave the building until they're on the truck.

I could do this myself with Shutterfly. I just… never do.

— what most people tell us first

Yes. That's the whole reason this exists.

You can absolutely print your own photos. Walgreens does it for nineteen cents. Shutterfly's been there since 1999. You have known this for ten years.

The thing you're paying $12/month for isn't the prints — the prints cost us about $4. You're paying so that a person you've never met sits with your camera roll for twenty minutes once a month, picks the thirty that hold together, and gets them in the mail before you remember it was on your list.

If you've been meaning to do this since 2019 and haven't, the math has already tipped. Three years of "I'll get to it" is more expensive than three years of $12.

If you're someone who already prints monthly, you don't need us. We mean that.

What this replaces, honestly.

We did the math against the things people told us they'd "do instead." Here's what a year actually looks like.

A note about the price

I get asked why $12 and not $9 or $19. The honest answer is that $12 is what it costs to print thirty good photos, mail them, fund a person to curate, and put a hardcover book in December's box without losing money.

I priced it where I needed to so the shop could still be here in ten years — because the whole point of this is that your kids find these prints in twenty.

If $12 is wrong for you right now, that's okay. Come back later. The prints will still be paper.
