A Comparison for Artists and Galleries
ArtCloud, an Artlogic company. ArtCloud and Artlogic are part of the same company but continue to operate as distinct platforms. This comparison evaluates ArtCloud's documented product, pricing, and capabilities.
QuRated.art connects your public Artist or Gallery presence to your shows, print-ready materials and their own QR paths, professional relationships, the Artist's own voice on the artwork page, engagement intelligence, written guidance, direct sales, and Commissioned Artwork. ArtCloud provides a capable Gallery and Artist back office with inventory depth, editions and quantities, bulk data movement, a built-in CRM, email campaigns, a website builder, and Marketplace exposure.
Last reviewed: July 24, 2026.
Sourced against ArtCloud's official product, pricing, and knowledge-base pages, corrected when applications change.
Use both when: ArtCloud serves as the broader back office, CRM, website, and marketplace system, while QuRated.art supplies the connected public exhibition presence, material-specific engagement, professional collaboration, and Commissioned Artwork workflow.
An Artist can open a QuRated.art account for free on Solo and publish a public Artist page automatically: biography, profile image, contact information, artwork, individual artwork pages, pricing and availability, shows, and paths to inquire, purchase, or request a commission. Professional connections let an Artist build relationships with Galleries and other Artists, request exhibition opportunities directly, and keep the source artwork record throughout. Print-ready labels and handouts come from artwork information entered once, each with its own connected QR path, and the Artist's own recorded voice can play right on the artwork page. Engagement on that material turns into written guidance, and interest can move into an inquiry, a direct sale, or a Commissioned Artwork request.
ArtCloud gives an Artist an account on its Manager product, with Website as a separate subscription line and Marketplace as an opt-in listing. It offers extensive inventory depth (editions, quantities, bulk CSV import and export), a website builder, and CRM and campaign tools where available, on a free-trial entry model; whether a current permanent free Artist tier exists was not confirmed in ArtCloud's post-2025 structure.
A Gallery on QuRated.art gets a public Gallery page automatically: identity and contact information, represented and participating Artists, artwork presentation, and exhibition pages that move a visitor from the show to a participating Artist to price and availability to an inquiry or direct purchase. Professional connections let a Gallery invite Artists, review and select offered artwork for a specific exhibition, and release it afterward, while the Artist keeps their own source record. Exhibition labels, handouts, poster and business-card QR assets, Phone Share Cards, and collector and post-sale labels carry the show into the room, and ScanAlytics with Sales Reporting turns that activity into written follow-up guidance.
ArtCloud gives a Gallery extensive administration: full inventory with editions, quantities, and multiple locations; consignment management; a built-in CRM and email campaigns; a drag-and-drop website builder; Marketplace listing; private exhibitions and Virtual Install; operational and sales reporting; pipeline tracking; and Copilot, an included AI assistant with actionable suggestions, credited in its own row below.
QuRated.art connects a printable provenance certificate to the artwork's living public record, Artist context, and artwork details through QR.

The QuRated.art certificate is a printable document connected by QR to the living artwork record; it isn't a claim of legal authentication, government certification, third-party appraisal, or blockchain verification. Professional Connections is a collaboration and exhibition-participation system, not consignment management.
A persistent professional relationship between separate Artist and Gallery accounts can lead to organized exhibition opportunities while keeping responsibility for the artwork record clear. Artists offer artwork from their own accounts, hosts review and select it, and responsibility for complete artwork information stays clear throughout. This capability is powered by QID.

| Artist retains the source artwork record during participation | Included | No equivalent capability found |
The source QuRated.art account holds the artwork record. When an Artist offers work into a hosted exhibition, the Artist retains that source record. ArtCloud's own documentation states its only Gallery-to-Artist connection is through consignment, and that edits to consigned inventory don't update across the two accounts in either direction.
| Capability | QuRated.art | ArtCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Artist-created shows | Included | Included |
| Gallery exhibitions | Included | Included |
| Peer or Artist-hosted show with another account participating | Included | No equivalent capability found |

ArtCloud supports artwork submission for Gallery review, but its official materials did not establish an equivalent public calls-for-entry workflow.
QuRated.art gives Artists and Galleries a connected marketing presence across public pages, exhibitions, shareable artwork, Printed Materials, professional relationships, inquiries, and sales.
| Capability | QuRated.art | ArtCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Public Artist page included automatically with the account | Included | Plan-dependent, requires an ArtCloud Website subscription in addition to Manager, or a separate Marketplace opt-in |

| Professional discovery through connections | Included | No equivalent capability found |
QuRated.art public Artist and Gallery pages are included with the account. Separately developed custom websites are also available through Ignite Websites, the developer of QuRated.art.
Enter the artwork and its information once, then generate print-ready wall-label sheets, individual artwork labels, and exhibition handouts without rebuilding the same details for every format. One artwork record becomes the page, the label, the handout, and the connected visitor path.
A QR code is only as useful as where it leads. QuRated.art connects each supported material to a specific living artwork, Artist, Gallery, or show page instead of sending every visitor to the same general homepage, and can tell you which material produced the engagement even when two materials point at the same artwork.
ArtCloud's QR codes reach a specific artwork or exhibition page on the customer's website or Marketplace, generated through a Download QR Code button and placed onto collateral by the user, with wall tags supporting an optional custom QR code and Avery-compatible label sheets. ArtCloud advises against placing both a Marketplace and a website QR code on one small wall tag, since at that size both can interfere with scanning.
| Capability | QuRated.art | ArtCloud |

| Visitor can begin a Commissioned Artwork request | Included | No equivalent capability found |
A visitor who reaches an artwork page from a wall label, handout, shared link, show page, or Gallery page can hear the Artist speak directly about the work, even when the Artist isn't present. QuRated.art lets the Artist upload audio directly and play it on the public artwork page, keeping the visitor focused on the work instead of sending them into an external media platform. The Artist's voice stays with the artwork, and the visitor stays within the QuRated.art experience.
| Capability | QuRated.art | ArtCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Native, platform-contained Artist audio narration on the artwork page | Included | No equivalent capability found |
ArtCloud supports external video and media links, but those links are not equivalent to native, platform-contained Artist audio narration on the artwork page.
Back-office collection and business reporting is valuable. QuRated.art adds a different layer by showing what artwork and Printed Materials are doing in the room, then turning that activity into written strategic guidance.
ScanAlytics shows how people engage with artwork and printed materials without turning the dashboard into a visitor-profiling tool.
| Capability | QuRated.art | ArtCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Subscriber-exclusive engagement intelligence from proprietary platform activity | Included | Partial. Copilot and ArtCloud reporting use proprietary account data including inventory, collectors, sales, and pipeline, but no artwork-level, Printed Material, or scan-source data exists to analyze |

ArtCloud's offers, invoices, purchase orders, and remote pay are credited in the sales and Printed Materials rows above, and aren't a Commissioned Artwork workflow simply because a buyer is involved. Commissioned Artwork is available to Artist accounts. Galleries do not manage Commissioned Artwork inside QuRated.art.

Gallery Manager and Website are purchased separately
ArtCloud Manager and Website are separate subscriptions. The primary prices above use the closest practical Manager plan for comparison, while Website pricing is shown separately.
ArtCloud also offers a 14-day trial for its paid products.
If editions, quantities, bulk data tools, and a website builder are what you need most, ArtCloud's back office goes deeper. If you want a public presence, a QR-connected certificate, and materials that lead somewhere specific and report back to you, start with QuRated.art.
If you need full inventory administration, a CRM, email campaigns, and marketplace listing, ArtCloud covers that ground. If you want your exhibitions, materials, and Artist relationships to work together in public with engagement and Sales Reporting attached, QuRated.art is built for that.
Artists and Galleries can connect artwork, shows, Printed Materials, engagement, professional relationships, and sales in one public system.
