Looking for an ArtCloud alternative?
ArtCloud is the mid-market all-in-one — management plus a website builder and marketplace, priced per user, and now owned by Artlogic. Gallery Platform is the flat-priced, API-first alternative that keeps your website yours.

Where ArtCloud still fits: Galleries that want a bundled website template and marketplace listing in one purchase and are comfortable inside its ecosystem — and aware it now sits under Artlogic's owner. An honest comparison beats a rushed switch — export a CSV and trial the import first.
Your data moves with a preset, not a project
The importer ships an ArtCloud preset that handles its inferred headers, with contacts and sales history as CSV. And everything exports back out with a stable ID column — leaving is as easy as arriving, which is exactly the point.
Common questions
- Does Gallery Platform replace an ArtCloud website?
- Differently: instead of a hosted template, you get white-label viewing rooms on your own domain plus a live embed widget for any existing site — and a real API if you want a fully custom build. Your web presence stays yours.
- What about the Artlogic acquisition?
- ArtCloud, ArtBase, and exhibit-E now sit under Artlogic's majority owner (Cove Hill Partners). Consolidation tends to mean roadmap and pricing decisions serve the portfolio. We're independent, and our no-lock-in export means you can hold us to it.
- How does migration from ArtCloud work?
- Export to CSV and the ArtCloud preset maps the columns; check SKU and date fields at the wizard's Map step (they vary by export). See /migrate/artcloud.
