Aryeo Pricing in 2026: What Each Plan Costs a Photographer

Aryeo publishes its plan prices, but the number that actually matters to a working photographer — what a listing costs you — isn't on the pricing page. Aryeo Pro is billed monthly, but its limits are annual, so the per-listing math shifts with your volume in ways the sticker price hides. This page works it out for a 5-, 10-, 20-, and 40-listing month, and flags where the plan gets expensive per listing and where it gets cheap.

What are Aryeo's plans and prices?

Aryeo has one free plan and one paid plan that comes in three tiers:

• Aryeo Lite — $0. Media delivery, a content dashboard, branded delivery pages, an agent login portal, and delivery for Zillow Showcase listings.
• Aryeo Pro — $49, $99, or $179 a month. Everything in Lite, plus scheduling, invoicing and payroll, a reporting dashboard, a marketing center, the Aryeo Go mobile app, Showcase Select, Virtual Staging AI, and Zillow 3D Home integration.
• Enterprise — custom. Combines Lite and Pro features or syncs media by API; pricing is by sales call.

The three Pro tiers differ by an annual listing cap and the number of team seats: $49/month covers 100 listings a year and 1 seat, $99/month covers 250 listings and 3 seats, and $179/month covers 500 listings and 5 seats. Add-ons on the page are SMS notifications at $19/month and a branded mobile app at $179/month. Our Aryeo alternatives guide has the full per-tier feature table; this page is about what those tiers cost you in practice.

What does Aryeo cost per listing at your volume?

Here is the part the pricing page doesn't do for you. Pro bills monthly, but the cap that decides which tier you need is annual — your monthly volume times twelve. Pick the cheapest tier whose yearly cap covers your yearly total, and the per-listing cost falls out of that. For comparison, the last two columns show a typical pay-per-tour host (PFRE Tour, at $8–10 a tour with no subscription), assuming you shoot that many every month.

Aryeo per-listing figures are the annual tier cost (monthly × 12) divided by your yearly listings, assuming steady volume. Pay-per-tour column uses PFRE Tour's published rates: $10 single, $9 each in 10-packs, $8 each in 20-packs, with 2 years of hosting per tour. A month with no shoots is $0 on pay-per-tour and the full fee on Aryeo.

The headline: at about 5 listings a month Aryeo is roughly even with a per-tour rate (below that it costs more), it is worst just past each cap, and it is genuinely cheap per listing at steady high volume. On the $49 tier the break-even against a $9 tour is about 65 listings a year, so a steady 6 to 8 a month ($8.17 to $6.13 a listing) favors Aryeo slightly. Then 9 to 12 a month pushes you onto the $99 tier at $11.00 to $8.25 a listing: worse than a $9 tour until about 11 a month, and above $8 throughout. Around 20 listings a month is where it pulls clearly ahead — if you actually hit that number every month.

Why does 10 listings a month cost almost the same per listing as 5?

Look at the first two rows. Jumping from 5 to 10 listings a month doubles your work, but your per-listing cost barely moves — $9.80 to $9.90. That's the annual cap at work. Five a month is 60 a year, which fits the $49 tier's 100-listing cap. Ten a month is 120 a year, which exceeds that cap, so you're pushed up to the $99 tier — but you only use 120 of its 250 listings. You're paying for 250 and shooting 120.

This creates dead zones just past each cap. The worst value on Aryeo Pro is being a little over a tier limit: 110 listings a year means buying the $99 tier and leaving 56% of it unused, and 260 means buying the $179 tier and leaving 48% unused. The best value is sitting just under a cap — 240 listings a year on the $99 tier is $4.95 each; 480 on the $179 tier is $4.48. Before you commit, map your real annual volume against the three caps (100 / 250 / 500) and see which side of a line you fall on.

When is the free Lite plan enough, and when does it stop?

Lite is a real plan, not a crippled trial. It gives you branded delivery pages, an agent login portal, and Zillow Showcase uploads, and Aryeo doesn't publish a listing cap on it. If your job is "shoot the listing, hand the agent a clean delivery page, upload to Showcase when asked," Lite can carry that at no cost.

What Lite doesn't include is the business layer. You move to Pro when you want:

• Scheduling — clients booking shoots against your calendar
• Invoicing and payroll — billing clients and paying a team or subcontractors through the platform
• The reporting dashboard — revenue and activity analytics
• The marketing center and Aryeo Go app — marketing automations and the field app for your shooters

Notice none of those are about how many listings you shoot. The Lite-to-Pro decision is a features decision, not a volume one. A photographer doing 300 listings a year can, as far as Aryeo's published pricing shows (it lists no cap for Lite), stay on free Lite if all they need is delivery; a photographer doing 60 might pay for Pro because they want the scheduling and invoicing. Don't upgrade just because your volume climbed — upgrade when you actually need a tool Lite doesn't have.

Is an Aryeo subscription cheaper than paying per tour?

At steady high volume, yes; at low or uneven volume, usually no. The per-listing table makes the first half clear: fill the $99 or $179 tier and you're under $5 a listing, well below a typical $8–10 per-tour rate. But two things cut the other way.

First, the subscription bills every month you keep it. A photographer on the $49 tier who delivers 50 listings across a year — busy spring, dead winter — and stays subscribed pays $588, which is $11.76 a listing, worse than any per-tour rate. Aryeo says Pro has no contracts, so you could drop to free Lite or cancel for the winter and resubscribe in spring, but you lose scheduling and invoicing meanwhile, and you have to remember to do it. Pay-per-tour charges nothing in a month you don't shoot. If your work is seasonal, that asymmetry matters more than the sticker price.

Second, the annual caps punish uneven growth, as the dead-zone section showed. The honest way to settle it is to run your own numbers: our free pay-per-tour vs. subscription cost calculator finds the exact crossover for your volume against any monthly fee, and our hosting cost by listing volume breakdown puts Aryeo next to Spiro, HD Photo Hub, and TourBuzz at 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 listings a month. If you're weighing Aryeo specifically against an independent per-tour host, the PFRE Tour vs. Aryeo page lays out the pricing, ownership, and hosting-term differences side by side.

What else should factor into the price?

Two things that aren't on the monthly line but affect what you really pay:

• Hosting term. Aryeo lists free property websites on every plan but doesn't publish how long they stay up; its help center gives a one-year term only for custom domains bought through Aryeo. Ask how long a listing's pages stay up before you rely on them. A per-tour host that bundles a fixed hosting term keeps old links alive without a running subscription — worth weighing if agents point the MLS at your URLs.
• Platform ownership. Zillow acquired Aryeo in 2023, and Aryeo is the exclusive uploader for Zillow Showcase. That's a feature if your agents buy Showcase and a concern if you'd rather your delivery platform not be owned by the portal your clients compete on. It doesn't change the price, but it's part of the total cost of the choice.
