What it does
GearDex catalogs cameras, lenses, lighting, audio gear, drones, and accessories in a single workspace. Each item holds serial numbers, purchase price, current value, receipts, warranty dates, and photos. The app tracks portfolio value automatically, shows six-month trends, and generates an insurance-ready PDF on demand. (Vendor homepage)
The built-in Iris AI agent answers plain-English questions about a user's own kit, checks lens and filter compatibility against bodies already in the inventory, and looks up live prices at B&H and Adorama. Shoot planning covers call sheets, sun and weather data, packing lists, and QR-scanned gear check-outs and check-ins. A CRM, client galleries, and a photography website are included on every paid plan, with booking, contracts, and invoices added at the Studio tier. (Vendor pricing page)
Who it is for
The tool targets photographers, videographers, and small rental houses managing a growing collection of production gear. The LinkedIn directory post by byAnt notes it suits creators who need serial numbers, receipts, warranties, and equipment values in one place alongside shoot planning and packing manifests. (LinkedIn post by byAnt) The vendor's about page states more than 900 photographers, studios, and rental houses currently use the app. (Vendor about page)
Pricing
The Starter plan is free forever and covers up to 25 gear items, one client gallery, three shoot plans, and a photography website. Pro costs $4/mo ($3.25/mo billed annually) and removes the inventory cap, adds unlimited shoot plans, a custom domain, and a client CRM. Studio costs $19/mo ($14.92/mo billed annually) and adds online booking, contracts, invoices, a 10-seat team workspace, and unlimited loans. All figures are in USD. (Vendor pricing page)
What users complain about
No public user reviews exist yet; the vendor was actively seeking feedback and early users at the time of the LinkedIn listing. (LinkedIn post by byAnt) The stated plan limits are the clearest friction points. The free tier caps inventory at 25 items and 10 categories, which is restrictive for anyone with a mid-size kit. (Vendor pricing page) Loans are limited to 3 open at a time on Pro; unlimited loans require upgrading to Studio. (Vendor pricing page) Booking, contracts, and invoices are Studio-only, so Pro users cannot accept paid sessions through the app. (Vendor pricing page)
