Is DeliverShot a GeoSnapShot alternative for races?

A reasonable alternative if you shoot more than just races and want a single platform for everything. You lose bib-number OCR and time-based search, but you gain a better revenue share (85–90% vs 70%), Gelato print fulfilment, and a platform your weddings, corporates, and club nights also use.

Will DeliverShot add bib-number OCR?

Not on our near-term roadmap. Our core differentiator is selfie-based face matching, which works for races too: runners take a selfie at the finish and get the photos they appear in. Bib OCR is a legitimate race-photographer feature we may add later. Today GeoSnapShot is better for that specific job.

Is DeliverShot’s 85–90% really better than GeoSnapShot’s 70%?

Do the maths: on a £100 sale with £30 of Gelato print cost, DeliverShot pays you roughly £58–£61 (after Gelato and Stripe). GeoSnapShot pays you £49 (70% of £70 digital, or less after GST and PayPal). On a £100 digital-only sale, DeliverShot pays you roughly £94 and GeoSnapShot pays roughly £64. The maths strongly favour DeliverShot on digital; on prints it depends on Gelato cost per product.

Can I run events on both?

Yes — many photographers do. Use GeoSnapShot for marathons and big races where their distribution and bib OCR help you; use DeliverShot for smaller races, local 10Ks, and every non-race event you shoot.

DeliverShot vs GeoSnapShot

Races and bibs, or any event.

GeoSnapShot is the established platform for race photography: bib-number OCR, time-based search, a decade of marathon operations. DeliverShot works for any event type (weddings, corporates, clubs, races too), with selfie-based AI face matching, transparent subscription or pay-as-you-go pricing, direct Stripe Connect payouts, and Gelato prints.

The short version

GeoSnapShot specialises in races. DeliverShot covers more ground.

GeoSnapShot has built a genuine specialism in race photography: bib-number OCR, time-based search, discounting and bundling tools, and partnerships with 10,000+ events globally. If you shoot marathons, triathlons, or park runs, there are features there you won’t find elsewhere.

DeliverShot is broader. Selfie face matching works for any event with humans: weddings, corporate conferences, club nights, school proms, and yes, races too. You lose bib OCR, but you gain a platform your other event types use too.

If you only shoot races, GeoSnapShot’s specialism may win. If you shoot a mix and want one platform for all of it, DeliverShot’s breadth and better photographer revenue share are real advantages.

Pricing, in plain English

Upfront cost and 0% commission vs no upfront and 30% commission.

Two different bets. GeoSnapShot takes no upfront fee but a 30% cut of every sale. DeliverShot charges a subscription or PAYG credits plus a flat £30 event-creation fee, and takes 0% of sales. Which is better depends on how much you sell per event.

DeliverShot

Or pay-as-you-go: £19 for 500 photos up to £99 for 5,000, valid 12 months.
£30 flat event-creation fee per event.

Where GeoSnapShot wins

Things GeoSnapShot genuinely does better than us.

Bib-number OCR
GeoSnapShot reads runner bib numbers automatically from race photos. If you shoot marathons or park runs where every photo has a bib, this alone can save hours of tagging. We don’t have bib OCR.
Time-based search
Runners filter by time window to find themselves at a specific finish-line moment. We don’t offer time-based search today.
Established event partnerships
GeoSnapShot has 10,000+ events in their network — photographers can opt into existing events rather than bringing their own. If you’re new to race photography, this distribution is a real asset.
Discounting and bundling tools
Their bundling and discount mechanics boost average order value (they publish a 45% uplift claim). We don’t have promo codes or bundle pricing yet.
Race-specific metadata
Tagging photos with race number, time, and location is first-class in GeoSnapShot. In DeliverShot, you’d rely on manual section organisation.
