Both cover photo editing. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Culls and edits a wedding shoot overnight
Aftershoot learns from edits a photographer has already made and then applies that style to a whole shoot, after throwing out the blinks, the blurs and the duplicates. For anyone delivering thousands of frames a wedding, culling is the job it saves most of. Plans are sold by how many images a year you put through it, and everything exports back into Lightroom or Capture One rather than replacing them.
Our note
The thirty days matter more here than on most trials, because the tool has to learn your style before the output is worth judging. Feed it a whole delivered wedding early rather than a handful of frames, or the trial will tell you nothing.
Batch retouching for photographers who shoot volume
Evoto is built for the photographer who comes home with four hundred frames and has to make all of them look the same. Skin, teeth, eyes, background swaps and colour all apply across a selection rather than one image at a time, and the corrections stay adjustable afterwards. It is priced by credits, one per photo, sold in annual bundles. A retoucher working on a single hero image will find nothing here they cannot already do better by hand.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Work out your credit consumption from one real job before picking a bundle, because the per-credit price falls steeply and buying the wrong tier costs more than the difference between them. The rollover is what makes the annual commitment survivable through a slow season.
