Flat fee vs pay-per-photo. Both cull and edit. The real difference is how you pay. Aftershoot is a flat monthly fee with unlimited images; Imagen charges per photo on pay-as-you-go (with a $7/mo minimum that rolls over as credit), adds culling from $29/mo, or goes unlimited with Limitless at $179/mo billed annually. If you shoot a lot of weddings, do the math on your own yearly image count before you pick.

I'm not going to guess. Both tools go through the same full real wedding, and I'll post keeper agreement and time here when it's done. See how we test.
