No native calling, and texting is a separate subscription
VSCO Workspace has no calling feature on its own marketing pages. Two way texting exists only through a Quo (formerly OpenPhone) integration, and Quo is its own paid subscription with its own per message cost on top. There's no inbound call handling, no call logged to the client record, and no shared team line, because that isn't the job VSCO Workspace is built to do.
What the sticker price leaves out
VSCO One at $499.99 a year covers the CRM and VSCO's photo tools, but nothing for the phone. Two way texting means adding a separate Quo subscription with its own monthly fee and its own per message charge, and calling isn't offered at all inside the product. Allio is $297 a month for the whole team with the phone system, the inbox and the client record built in, and calls, texts and email billed separately at wholesale rates, so the true comparison is VSCO One plus a phone plus a texting subscription against one Allio bill.
Where VSCO Workspace genuinely wins
VSCO Workspace, sold today as part of VSCO One, is the only one of the five that bundles the CRM with an actual photo product: client galleries, presets and photo editing tools live in the same subscription as the booking and invoicing tools. Allio has no gallery, proofing or image delivery capability at all, so a photographer using VSCO One can deliver finished images to a client from the same login used to book and invoice them.
Which one you should pick
Choose Tave, now VSCO Workspace if
you want your galleries, presets and editing tools bundled with your booking and invoicing tools in one VSCO login, and 6 included users covers your team.
Choose Allio if
your studio needs a phone system and one inbox for the whole team, not a photo delivery tool.
