Both platforms send your agent a link that opens without a password. The difference is everything around it. Where Aryeo covers delivery, Lumavo brings your whole workflow — booking, editing, delivery, marketing, and invoicing — into one place, and every delivery an agent receives collects in a single vault that follows them across every photographer they work with.
Where Aryeo falls short
Aryeo delivery pages open without a password, so the first click is easy on both platforms. The gap opens later. Aryeo's client portal is a branded login covering one media company's listings, so an agent who works with three photographers has three different places to go looking. Lumavo gives that agent one vault holding every delivery from every photographer they work with — and viewing a shoot still takes nothing more than the link you sent.
Aryeo connects to Dropbox, but that's where the automation ends. You still manually select the right folder and trigger the upload for every single job. Lumavo creates a dedicated Dropbox folder the moment a booking is confirmed — nothing to click, nothing to remember, every time.
Aryeo caps delivered listings by tier — 100/year on the $49/mo plan, 250/year on the $99/mo plan. SMS notifications are $19/mo extra. Custom property-website domains cost additional credits. Lumavo's paid plans have no annual listing cap, SMS built in, and custom domains included — no credit purchases required.
Feature comparison
Both platforms deliver via a link that opens without a password, so this is not about the first click. Aryeo's client portal is each media company's own branded login for that company's listings; Lumavo gives the agent a single vault that collects deliveries from every photographer they work with
Aryeo caps delivered listings by tier — 100/yr on the $49/mo plan, 250/yr on the $99/mo plan, 500/yr on the $179/mo plan. The cap resets annually, so a busy photographer can hit it mid-year
Aryeo connects to Dropbox but folder selection and upload are manual every time
Table stakes now — Aryeo added AI editing via a third-party integration (AutoHDR); Lumavo's is in-browser in the same workflow. Editing itself is not the differentiator; the integrated platform around it is.
Aryeo charges $19/mo as a separate SMS add-on — not included in any base plan
Aryeo charges credits for custom property website domains — credits must be purchased separately
Aryeo's Video Builder creates basic slideshows — not social-ready AI-generated reels
Aryeo charges separately for SMS ($19/mo), custom domains (credits), and AI editing (a third-party AutoHDR integration). Lumavo includes SMS and custom domains, and editing is part of the same workflow.
Both platforms include virtual staging as an AI tool
Aryeo has a built-in Video Builder; Lumavo has Motion Studio for AI motion reels
Aryeo has flyers and property websites; Lumavo adds social posts and listing slideshows

Common questions
For most real estate photographers, yes. Lumavo brings booking and scheduling, in-browser editing, branded client delivery, listing websites, marketing, and invoicing into one platform, and includes Lumavo Bridge to import your listing history and contacts from Aryeo. Aryeo remains strong for its exclusive Zillow media partnership and 3D tours. Lumavo's difference isn't any single feature — AI editing is table stakes now, and Aryeo added it too — it's that the whole workflow lives in one platform built only for real estate photographers, with a passwordless agent experience.
Yes. Lumavo delivers media through a passwordless link — the agent clicks and sees their photos instantly. In fairness to Aryeo, its delivery pages open without a password too, and Aryeo creates the client account automatically rather than making the agent sign up. The difference shows up after that first click: Aryeo's client portal is each media company's own branded login covering that company's listings, while Lumavo's optional one-tap Agent Vault collects an agent's deliveries from every photographer they work with in one place.
Yes — Aryeo, like several platforms, added AI editing by integrating a third-party editor (AutoHDR). Lumavo uses best-in-class AI too. That is exactly the point: AI editing has become table stakes, so it is not where platforms actually differ anymore. What differs is everything around it — Lumavo brings booking, in-browser editing, delivery, marketing, and invoicing into one integrated workflow built only for real estate photographers, where editing is one well-tuned piece rather than a separate tool bolted onto a gallery.
Lumavo has two plans — Flex at $5/listing with your first 10 edited photos included, then $0.50 each, and Pro at $29/listing with volume discounts to $19 — with SMS notifications and custom domains included. Aryeo caps delivered listings on its base plan and charges separately for SMS and custom property-website domains.
Yes. Lumavo Bridge imports your listing history, contacts, and agent relationships from Aryeo (and other platforms) so you can switch without losing your book of business. Photos are re-processed going forward rather than migrated.
