Where Curator Live is strong
Curator Live is a mature iPad app with flexible billing: you can pay per event, monthly or yearly, and a per-event activation stays live for 3 days. Its Event Pro and Agency Pro plans add a sharing station and slideshow licence, AR, 360 video effects and guest photo sales paid out to your own Stripe account.
Agency Pro adds sub-accounts, survey mode and a dedicated account representative, which suits agencies that run many brand activations.
Where AI Photo Booth Pro is different
AI Photo Booth Pro runs on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and one subscription covers two devices at the same time. You can pair a Windows laptop with a DSLR and an iPad on the same plan.
AI is included from the $79 Pro plan: 180+ ready AI effects, your own custom effects, group-aware face swap and AI video. Face swap costs 1 credit per face, about $0.025, and AI effects start at 6 credits, about $0.15, while a Nano Banana image on Curator Live costs $0.45. Curator Live's face swap uses no credits but works with one person at a time.
Choose AI Photo Booth Pro if
- You use Windows, Android or a mix of devices, not only iPad.
- You want two devices on one subscription.
- You want AI effects, group face swap and AI video without a $149 plan.
- You run many events and prefer a flat subscription.
Curator Live may suit you better if
- Your whole setup is iPad or iPhone.
- You book a few events and per-event pricing is cheaper for you.
- You want to sell photos to guests with payouts to your own Stripe account.
