Cosnap Photographers

For sports and action photographers

Why it matters

Athletes buy their photos
when they see them.

Most sports galleries sell to the few athletes who find them. Cosnap puts each athlete’s photos in front of them, so more of your work sells.

From $0.99

per photo, or bundles, pre-sale and group packs.

Minutes

after you publish, matched athletes get their photos.

Weekly

payouts to your bank through Stripe Connect.

Delivery

Every athlete finds their own photos.

An athlete scrolling 3,000 photos looking for their own number gives up halfway.

Athletes who opted in to face matching get the photos they appear in, and alerts when more are published. Share a category per team or race with a link.

  • Photos matched by face and delivered in batches every 10 minutes

  • Alerts when new photos of an athlete are published

  • A share link per category, for each team, heat or race

Selling

Sell while the result is still fresh.

Interest in a match photo drops fast after the final whistle.

Price each photo from $0.99 to $49.99, offer bundles, pre-sale and group packs, and let Cosnap send offers to athletes matched in your photos. Sales insights show what sells.

  • Per-photo prices on the web and in the iPhone app

  • Bundles, pre-sale and group packs

  • Automatic offers to athletes matched in your photos

  • Sales insights for your albums

Workflow

Less sorting, more capturing.

Burst mode gives you ten near-identical frames of every play.

Smart Cull hides blurry frames, closed eyes and duplicates without deleting anything. Add short video clips next to the photos, and get paid automatically every week.

  • Smart Cull hides blurry frames, closed eyes and duplicates; never deletes

Questions

Questions about sports event photos.

How do athletes find their sports photos?

Athletes add one reference photo and switch face matching on, in the iPhone app or at users.cosnap.ai. Cosnap finds them in every album they can see and sends them the photos, in batches every 10 minutes after an album is published.

How much do I earn from photo sales?

On Starter you keep 85% of your own sales (a 15% platform fee); on Pro and Studio there is no platform fee on your own sales. When Cosnap brings you the buyer, through face search or browsing on cosnap.ai or in the apps, the fee is 20% on every plan. Card processing fees come out of your earnings on all sales.

What does it cost photographers?

Starter is free with 20 GB. Pro is $19 a month with 500 GB and Studio is $39 a month with 2 TB. Prices are in USD.

Does it work for junior and school sports?

Face matching is only for people aged 18 and over, and under-18 accounts are never face-matched. For junior events, share a category link per team with the parents instead.

Can a club or league use Cosnap for all its events?

Yes. Clubs, leagues and race organizers use Cosnap Brands to sign athletes up with a QR code, collect every photographer’s albums in one library and report on reach. It is free for 1 event a year.
