Shoot-count plans vs unlimited. FilterPixel's annual plans are priced by the number of DeepCull shoots per year (Standard is 20 shoots for $180/yr). Aftershoot is unlimited images for a flat fee. A 20-wedding shooter and a 60-wedding shooter will land on different answers here.

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.
