    Art Price Lab gives working artists one calm place to price originals and prints, plan a release, and know exactly what to post, without turning your studio practice into a full-time marketing job.Galleries once handled the business side: pricing, release planning, collector communication, and visibility. If you're doing it alone now, the Lab helps you make those decisions using your actual costs, your artwork, and words that still sound like you.

    Start free today. Get your numbers, your plan, and your next post out of your head and into one place.

    No card required. Plans from $14/month after the trial. Cancel anytime.

    Built for working artists, not generic small-business software.

    Price originals and prints with real costs.

    Keep each artwork’s story, sales record, and launch plan together.

    Create content that starts with the work, not an algorithm trend.

    Made for watercolor, oil, acrylic, pencil, mixed media and more.

    The part nobody warned you about

    You have three jobs.
    Only one of them is making art.

    You're expected to make the work, price it correctly, photograph it, explain why it matters, post about it, follow up, and somehow not sound like you're begging people to buy.

    Meanwhile, the painting is still in the studio. The print is listed too low to make money. And "just post more" is starting to feel like terrible advice.

    It's not that you need another marketing course. You need the business decisions around each piece to stop living in ten tabs, three spreadsheets, and the back of your mind.

    Because when you're guessing at your price, your caption, and your release plan at the same time, it's hard to feel like a professional, no matter how good the work is.

    The Lab carries that job instead.

    A word from the studio

    It's not one thing.
    It's all of it, mixed together.

    Art Price Lab began with a frustrating pattern: every new piece created a fresh round of guesswork. What should it cost? Can the print actually turn a profit? What do I say when I share it? What should happen between "I finished this" and "someone bought it"?

    I rebuilt the same spreadsheets, rewrote the same captions, and tried to force generic marketing advice to fit an art practice. It never quite did. So I built the Lab: one place where the business decisions stay connected to the work itself.

    The point isn't to turn artists into marketers. The point is to make the business side clear enough that you can price a piece, share it well, and return to the studio without carrying every unanswered question with you.

    Cassidy Austin, working artist and the one who built the Lab

    Why the usual advice hasn't worked

    The old way: more tabs, more guessing, more pressure to perform online.

    The old way

    • Price from a feeling.
    • Lower the number when someone hesitates.
    • Save costs in a spreadsheet you can’t find later.
    • Post because the algorithm says you should.
    • Rewrite captions until they no longer sound like you.

    The Art Price Lab way

    • Price from your real numbers.
    • See whether prints are profitable before you list them.
    • Keep every detail tied to the artwork itself.
    • Plan a release around your actual capacity.
    • Share the story behind the work, in your own voice.

    The Studio-to-Collector System

    One piece. One clear path from studio to sale.

    Instead of starting from scratch every time you finish a piece, each decision leads naturally to the next.

    1

    Price it

    Know what the original or print needs to earn before you name a number.

    2

    Prepare it

    Keep its photos, story, print options, and sales history in one artwork record.

    3

    Release it

    Follow a realistic promotion plan, with content ideas built around the work itself.

    The print math nobody shows you

    It counts everything you would not think to count, the printing, the shipping, the marketplace's cut, and hands you a price that actually turns a profit. You learn what goes into it by seeing it, not by getting burned first.

    Listing price (8×10 print)$45.00
    Print cost− $12.50
    Shipping− $5.00

    Step 01 · Know the number

    A price you can stand behind, in about a minute

    Enter the work

    Size, medium, hours, materials. About a minute. Your location fills in the market-rate suggestion automatically.

    See all three prices together

    All three methods land on one screen. Pick the best method for you or decide where they agree is your starting range.

    Save it and move on

    Save the piece with its photo. Price prints from it in one click. Add it to a goal or a promotion plan. Your catalog builds as you go.

    Your Studio quietly becomes your sales record.

    Step 02 · The Studio

    One artwork.
    Everything about it, together.

    Name a piece in the calculator and it gets its own card: the photo, every price you have run, its print versions, its story in your own words, and the shots you still need to film. When it sells, mark it sold with the price, date, and collector.

    • Every pricing attempt and print version, stacked under one piece
    • A guided story interview, told in your own words
    • Clean one-price quotes for collectors. Your math stays private.
    • Shot lists from 90 studio-tested capture ideas, tracked per piece
    • Sold tracking: price, date, and collector. Your quiet sales record.

    Step 03 · The Launch Calendar

    A price is not the whole sale.
    It's the beginning of a clear release.

    Once you know what a piece needs to earn, the Lab helps you decide how to introduce it, what to say about it, and what to share before it's available, without filling your calendar with empty "post something" reminders.

    Give it your promotion date, your email list, your following, and the pace you can actually keep. It returns a day-by-day calendar of what to post, share, and send, from warm-up to last call, each with a ready-made idea.

    • Any promotion length, from a 7-day online drop to a 2-day art fair weekend
    • Event days stand out, so the big days are hard to miss
    • Your pace, honored: from two posts a week to three a day
    • An honest estimate of the sales your audience can actually support
    • Export to Excel or sync into Google or Apple Calendar

    • Every promotion calendar post becomes a kit in one tap

    Choose a piece, answer a few prompts, and get hooks, a script, a shot plan, and a caption built from the story of your work, not a generic trend.
