Artlogic is the incumbent gallery management platform, particularly strong in the UK and among established mid-market galleries. Aurelian is the newer alternative, built for galleries that want a modern interface, faster iteration, and a workspace that extends beyond a single gallery into jewellers, watchmakers, and multi-discipline dealers. Both are viable — this page is an honest look at where each fits.
Positioning
Artlogic is a specialist gallery product with two decades of category depth. Aurelian is a broader luxury-trade platform with strong gallery capabilities and a category-crossing data model. Pick Artlogic for pure gallery-only operations with a preference for the incumbent. Pick Aurelian for a modern interface, cross-category workflows, or a lower entry cost.
Feature comparison
| Area | Artlogic | Aurelian |
|---|---|---|
| Interface & speed | Established interface, unchanged in look for several years. | Modern, keyboard-first interface with sub-100ms interactions. |
| Pricing entry point | Multi-tier pricing, typically starting several hundred per month. | Free tier for solo dealers; paid plans start at a fraction of incumbent pricing. |
| Cross-category workflows | Gallery-only. | Galleries, jewellers, watchmakers, ateliers on one data model — useful for multi-discipline dealers. |
| Integrations | Mature ecosystem: Xero, MailChimp, art-fair partners. | Modern integrations via Stripe, Shopify, and open API. Fewer bespoke gallery integrations. |
| Support model | Full account-managed support on enterprise tiers. | Self-serve documentation, community, and email support. Onboarding assistance on paid plans. |
When Artlogic wins
Established galleries already running on Artlogic with deep configuration and integrations should stay. Galleries requiring a mature art-fair partner ecosystem or dedicated account management may find the incumbent fits better.
When Aurelian wins
New galleries setting up their first system. Galleries frustrated by legacy interface speed. Multi-discipline dealers (a gallery that also deals watches, or a jeweller with a small gallery arm) benefit from the shared data model. Cost-conscious galleries under $5m turnover typically find Aurelian a better fit.
Questions
Yes. CSV export from Artlogic imports into Aurelian's inventory, contacts, and consignment models. Onboarding assistance is included on annual paid plans.
Yes. Fair-specific views, booth expense tracking, visitor logs, and post-fair reporting are supported. The workflow differs in interface but covers the same operational ground.
Aurelian is materially less expensive at the entry and mid tier. At enterprise scale with heavy account management, incumbent pricing may be more competitive.
