Táve is the power-user's photography studio manager — deep automations, deep reporting, deep learning curve. Here's how it compares when your product is video.
Job automation and reporting depth. Táve tracks inquiries through jobs with granular lead reporting, flexible questionnaires, and some of the most capable automations in the photo-studio world. Long-time users have systems tuned over years and swear by them.
Like the other photo-first suites, Táve stops at the studio door. There's no production layer — no crew database with day rates, no call sheets, no timecoded review or version compare, no payment-gated video delivery — and its learning curve is steep enough that Táve's own community jokes about it. If you're going to climb a learning curve anyway, it might as well end in software shaped like your actual work.

Only if video is a real share of your business. Your contacts move via CSV in minutes; your automations don't move, but most of what studios automate in Táve — booking flows, payment reminders, review chasing — is built into Cutvey without configuration.
