Overview
GetUrSnap wants to be as transparent and easy as possible. Instead of forcing photographers to calculate, analyze, and compare plans manually, our algorithm does the math for you. Just create an event and start uploading — the system computes the total cost, considers overage rates, and recommends the best-suited pricing plan that saves you the most money.
The Problem
Choosing the right storage plan is confusing. If you pick a plan that's too small, you pay high overage rates. If you pick one that's too large, you're paying for storage you don't use. Photographers shouldn't have to be mathematicians to figure out the cheapest option for 4,200 photos and 15 videos. But with traditional platforms, that's exactly what they have to do.
The Solution
GetUrSnap's smart pricing engine analyzes your upload to compute the optimal plan recommendation. It considers total storage needed, overage costs across different tiers, and the features included in each plan. The result? A clear recommendation that saves you money without you doing any math. Don't know your exact file count yet? Use the quick estimator — just enter the approximate number of photos and videos, and get an instant cost estimate.
Key Benefits
Automatic plan recommendations
The algorithm analyzes your storage needs and recommends the plan that saves you the most money.
Quick cost estimator
Enter the number of photos and videos — get an instant estimate before you even start uploading.
No surprise bills
Know your total cost before committing. Transparency is built into every step of the pricing flow.
Overage-aware recommendations
The system factors in overage rates when recommending plans, so you're never on a plan where overages cost more than upgrading.

Deep Dive
How the algorithm works
The smart pricing engine takes your estimated storage (or actual storage after upload) and calculates the total cost for each plan: base price + overage charges. For example, if you need 80GB, the Basic plan (50GB) would cost ₹599 + (30GB × ₹12) = ₹959, while the Standard plan (100GB) costs ₹999 with no overage. The algorithm sees that Standard is only ₹40 more but gives you 20GB of headroom, so it recommends Standard. These calculations happen instantly and are updated in real-time as you upload.
Pro Tips
Always use the quick estimator before choosing a plan. A few seconds of estimation can save hundreds of rupees.
If you're unsure about file count, estimate high. It's better to have a plan recommendation that gives you headroom.
Check the real-time usage tracker during upload. If you're approaching your limit, you can upgrade mid-event.
