TL;DR

Even at Early Bird prices, a new customer would pay $1,155 in their first year for everything your Founder membership includes. You pay $499.
The Black Friday price covers the first year only. Your $499/year Founder price stays locked for as long as your Founder subscription is active.
Your membership includes four more personal AI profiles than Complete, Justin’s two Founders AI Styles, an extra device, 5 Instant AI profiles, priority support, early access to new features, and roadmap calls with our team.
Founders can still get Unlimited Galleries for $199/year as a separate subscription. The standard price is $360/year.

Before anything else, thank you. You backed Aftershoot when we were still early, and the ideas you’ve shared since then still shape what we build today. Founders took a chance on us before there was much to go on, and we haven’t forgotten that.

This Black Friday, we’re welcoming a lot of new photographers to Aftershoot, and we wanted you to hear how our sale compares with your membership from us first.

Your Founder Membership and the Black Friday Sale

The sale is on Aftershoot Complete, a different plan from yours. The Black Friday price is a first-year discount, and Complete renews at $540/year after that.

Your Founder membership is still our most comprehensive offering. The Founder plan had limited seats and is no longer available, and your $499/year price stays locked for as long as your Founder subscription is active.

Here’s what a new Complete customer would pay this Black Friday for everything you get as a Founder:

What’s included	New Complete customer	You (Founder)
Unlimited culling, editing and retouching (Early Bird price, first year)	$405	✓ Included
Four more personal AI profiles	$400	✓ Included
Justin’s two Founders AI Styles	$100	✓ Included
Aftershoot on one extra device	$250	✓ Included
First-year total	$1,155	$499/year

Even at the Early Bird price, a new Complete customer pays $1,155 in their first year. Your Founder price for the same package is $499/year.

Make the Most of Your Founder Benefits

Some of these are easy to forget about, so here’s how to put each one to work.

Join the conversation. Share your ideas in the private Founders community and join our roadmap calls. Founder feedback still shapes what we build.
Set up all five personal AI profiles. You have four more than a Complete plan. If you shoot more than one type of work, like weddings and portraits, give each its own profile so every gallery starts closer to your style.
Use all 5 Instant AI profiles. Complete includes 3, so you have room to set one up for each look you deliver.
Try Justin’s two Founders AI Styles. Run them on your next shoot and see which ones fit your work.
Add Aftershoot to your extra device. If you edit on both a laptop and a desktop, or share editing with a second shooter or an assistant, your extra device is ready to set up.
Reach out to priority support. If something is slowing down your workflow, contact us. Founders get priority support whenever they need it.
Try new features first. You get early access to new features, including betas. Founders got Galleries before our public pricing launch. Tell us what’s working and what isn’t.

Bring a photographer friend along.
If you know someone who’s ready to spend less time culling and editing, Black Friday is a good time to send them your referral link. As a thank-you, you’ll earn $20 in Aftershoot Credits when they subscribe.

Your Founder Price on Unlimited Galleries

If you didn’t get to Galleries when it launched, Founder pricing is still open. As a Founder, you can get Unlimited Galleries for $199/year. The standard price is $360/year.

Unlimited Galleries is a separate subscription from your Founder membership, so your $499/year price doesn’t change. Your $199 price stays locked for as long as your Galleries subscription is active.

No. Your $499/year price stays locked for as long as your Founder subscription is active.

Q3. Can I Switch to Complete at the Black Friday Price?

The Black Friday offer is for new customers, so it doesn’t apply to existing plans, including Founder plans. Your Founder plan already includes everything in Complete and more, and your price doesn’t go up after the first year.
