The Táve alternative, now that Táve is VSCO Workspace.
Táve was one of the most capable studio managers in photography. VSCO acquired it in 2025 and it now lives on as VSCO Workspace, part of a bigger creative suite. If you only want a CRM for your wedding studio, FrameFlow does that job on its own, for less.
Part of our guide to wedding CRM software.
What changed: Táve became VSCO Workspace
VSCO bought Táve in 2025 and folded it into VSCO as Workspace. In June 2026 VSCO launched VSCO One, which bundles full Workspace with editing presets, galleries, websites and AI tools for $499.99 a year, billed annually. Free and Pro VSCO members get a simplified Workspace limited to one user, one brand and one contact form. That suits photographers who want the whole suite. It is a lot to pay for if you already have galleries and a website you like.
Three reasons photographers move from Táve.
- 01
Pay for a CRM, not a suite
Full Workspace comes with VSCO One at $499.99 a year. FrameFlow's Studio plan is $240 a year, flat, and works with whatever galleries and website you already use: Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof, Showit, Squarespace.
- 02
Built only for wedding studios
VSCO serves every kind of visual creative. FrameFlow is made by Island Films, a wedding photo and film studio, for wedding photographers and videographers. Questionnaires, timelines, shot lists and second-shooter pay are built around the wedding day.
- 03
The wedding-day toolkit
Táve handled the business side well. FrameFlow adds a shot list and timeline that stay readable on your phone at the venue, a group-photo planner with time totals, a timeline built from the couple's questionnaire answers and a wedding-day brief PDF for your second shooter.

Where each tool actually wins.
No comparison page is honest if it pretends the competitor has no strengths. Here's where Táve genuinely wins, and where FrameFlow does.
What Táve does better
- Táve's automation engine is deep: multi-step, conditional workflows that FrameFlow's event-relative triggers don't fully match for complex studios
- Years of iteration on financial reporting and expense tracking
- If you want galleries, a portfolio site, editing presets and a CRM from one company, VSCO One gives you all of them in one bill
- A long-standing community of power users who share templates
What FrameFlow does better
- Half the price of VSCO One if all you need is the CRM
- A free plan with every feature, not a cut-down version
- The wedding-day toolkit: shot list, group-photo planner, timeline built from questionnaire answers
- 0% payment cut: the full booking fee lands in your account
- Photo and video are both first-class, including second-shooter pay tracking and per-wedding profit
What you'll actually pay.
| Plan | FrameFlow | Táve |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free forever (3 active weddings, all features) | Simplified Workspace (1 user, 1 brand, 1 contact form) |
| Full CRM | $240/year flat ($20/mo) | VSCO One, $499.99/year, annual billing only |
| Payment processor cut | 0% | Gateway fees on card payments |

Should you switch?
Switch to FrameFlow if…
Switch if you only use Táve or Workspace as a CRM and already pay for galleries and a website elsewhere: you are paying for a suite you don't use. Switch if you have been wanting wedding-day tools (shot list, timeline, group photos) that Táve never shipped. Switch if you would rather your CRM came from a company that only serves wedding studios.
Stay on Táve if…
Stay if you use VSCO's galleries, sites or presets anyway, because then VSCO One is good value. Stay if your studio runs on complex conditional automations that took years to build. Stay if you are mid-season and can't absorb a migration right now; switch in your slow months.
Switching questions, answered.
- Is Táve now VSCO Workspace?
- Yes. VSCO acquired Táve in 2025 and the studio manager is now called VSCO Workspace. Full Workspace is included in the VSCO One plan.
- How much does Táve (VSCO Workspace) cost?
- Full Workspace comes with VSCO One at $499.99 a year, billed annually (about $41.67 a month). VSCO's free and Pro plans include a simplified Workspace limited to one user, one brand and one contact form. Prices as listed on VSCO's site; check there for changes.
- Can I move my Táve data to FrameFlow?
- Yes. Export contacts and jobs as CSV and import them into FrameFlow. Standard fields (client, email, event date, job value) map automatically; custom fields take a few minutes to map by hand.
- Does FrameFlow take a cut of my booking fees?
- No. You record payments by bank transfer, Wise or PayPal, and the full fee lands in your account.
- Will my Táve automations carry over?
- Time-based workflows map across cleanly to FrameFlow's event-relative triggers, such as "7 days before the wedding, send the timeline questionnaire". Deeply conditional workflows may need simplifying.

Free plan, no card. Three active jobs is enough to test it on a real Saturday. If it doesn't pull its weight against Táve, leave.
