Comparison
Artwork Codex vs Artlogic
Artlogic is a broad platform built primarily for galleries and established artist studios. Artwork Codex is a focused alternative for individual artists and collectors who want direct video upload, original media storage, viewing rooms, portfolio, documents, COAs, and labels without a gallery operating system.
Clearer annual cost
The Studio plan is $29/month or $288/year. Artlogic studio management starts from £42/month or $58/month, and complete artist platform plans start higher.
Self-serve plan choice
Start on the Free plan, or choose published monthly or annual pricing without an onboarding call or custom quote.
Direct media archive
The Studio plan stores original-resolution images and uploads video files directly, instead of treating media as website embeds or attached paperwork.

Who Artlogic is actually built for
Artlogic is a mature platform designed for commercial galleries: commercial galleries with a full program of artists, fair booths, mailing campaigns, and art fair management. If you're running a gallery with a team, multiple artists, and an international client list, it's a serious tool.
For an individual artist or collector, that feature set is broader than a focused archive. Its plans combine gallery-scale CRM, a full website builder, and a mailing platform with inventory management.
Artwork Codex is built with the individual artist or collector as the default user. That means inventory, viewing rooms, portfolio, direct video upload, original-resolution storage, PDFs, COAs, labels, and media export are the core product rather than modules within a wider gallery platform.
When Artlogic may fit better
Full website builder
Artlogic can host your entire public-facing website with artist pages, exhibitions, viewing rooms, and e-commerce. Artwork Codex gives you a single public portfolio page, not a full site.
Mailing and campaigns
Artlogic includes CRM with mailings and campaign tools. Artwork Codex keeps a contacts database but doesn't send marketing email.
Multi-user, multi-location
Artlogic is built for teams with shared inventory across multiple locations. Artwork Codex is single-user by design.
If you need those features, Artlogic is designed for that wider gallery workflow. Artwork Codex is designed for a focused single-user archive.

Frequently asked questions
Can I migrate my data from Artlogic?
Yes. Export artwork records as CSV from Artlogic, then import into Artwork Codex. Our CSV import auto-maps common column names like Title, Year, Medium, Dimensions, and Price.
Does Artwork Codex replace a full gallery website?
Not entirely. Artwork Codex provides one public portfolio page with your bio, logo, and selected work. If you need a multi-page gallery website with exhibitions, viewing rooms, and e-commerce, Artlogic or a standalone site builder is a better fit.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Artwork Codex Free plan includes 5 artworks with no time limit. The Starter plan is $9/month or $96/year, and the Studio plan is $29/month or $288/year.
Do you support multi-user accounts?
Not currently. Artwork Codex is single-user by design. If you need shared inventory across a team, Artlogic is the stronger fit.
