The Definitive Guide to Choosing the Best Photo Booth App: Compare Top Features & Pricing
After taking an in-depth look at the leading photo booth apps on the market, we’ve put together this guide to help users find the best fit for their needs. We compared apps like Booth.Events, BreezeSys, Curator, LumaBooth, Revospin, Salsa, SimpleBooth, Snappic, and Touchpix, focusing on their pricing for both basic and full-feature plans—offered on as monthly and yearly subscriptions.
As a photo booth manufacturer we’ve noticed from our research that the photo booth market is continually expanding, presenting plenty of options. When examining the features provided in full licenses, we depict the following:
- BreezeSys, for example, offers a great custom text placement option for prints with their Breeze Booth software, making it ideal for businesses that prioritize customization. This option is available for just $49 per month.
- Snappic, despite the recent price increase of $189 per month, offers an engaging competition feature that allows guests to interact, significantly enhancing the fun at events. It is one of the two apps with the most supported features in the table, making it a convenient option.
- Touchpix offers an excellent balance of features and pricing, being the other app with the most supported features in this guide. At $111 per month, it delivers strong value, especially when compared to some higher-priced options.
- LumaBooth, at $93 monthly, stands out with its excellent option to add LUT filters, giving users more control over photo aesthetics.
- SimpleBooth is a great pick if you’re organizing an event and want something simple and easy to use, although it may not be robust enough for long-term rentals.
- Booth.Events offers a comprehensive microsite customization experience at no extra cost. Additionally, it features advanced Glam filters with extensive control over filter strength while maintaining high picture quality.
- Curator is good iPad photo booth software, their props are added in real-time on their live view so your customers will be able to watch the end result before taking the actual picture.
- Salsa, through their Fiesta software, provides a portfolio feature that allows you to showcase some of your best event videos and analytics. This functionality can be leveraged to promote your business and attract new clients.
While apps like Snappic and Revospin might be on the pricier side, they bring unique strengths that can be worth the investment for certain event types or businesses. The final choice depends on the features that matter the most to you and the number and type of events you’re running.
- In the short term, if you’re hosting a modest event once a week, LumaBooth‘s basic license at $20 per month may suit your needs. However, upgrading to the full license with their add-ons raises the cost to $93 per month. For a more serious business, Touchpix is a well-rounded option, allowing you to run up to four events simultaneously for just $111 per month. Similarly, Booth.Events also offers this capability but at a slightly higher price unless in some well-off countries.
- In the long term, we had no doubts. Among all the options considered, Touchpix offers the best ‘price-per-supported feature’ ratio. For just $800 a year, you unlock not only AI capabilities but also compatibility across three platforms—Android, iOS, and Mac—under the same license, making it the most versatile choice. Additionally, Touchpix supports worldwide SMS and WhatsApp sharing, enabling you to host events in any country.
To draw our conclusions, we created a table that summarizes the key features of both photo booth and mirror booth apps, highlighting the newest and most commonly used options on the market. The table is sorted by annual license cost, ranging from the least to the most expensive. (Last updated on 13th November 2024)
