Quick answer

Simple Booth's HALO app is a popular iPad booth. Plans run from Core at $49/month to Select at $249/month, each with one booth licence, and branding, custom AI effects, data capture and surveys move up the tiers.

AI Photo Booth Pro is the closer fit if you want Windows, Mac or Android too, two devices on one plan, and branding, custom AI effects and lead capture on one Pro plan. Simple Booth is the closer fit for an iPad-only setup with its HALO hardware.

Where Simple Booth is strong

Simple Booth is built for the iPad, with its own HALO hardware, a large App Store following, offline mode for everything but AI, and compliance options such as age gates and moderation on its top tier.

Where AI Photo Booth Pro is different

AI Photo Booth Pro is not tied to the iPad: the same subscription runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, two devices at the same time. That lets you pair a DSLR on Windows with an iPad, or run two iPads, on one plan.

Custom AI effects, branded templates and lead capture are all on the Pro plan at $79/month, and you add face swap, AI video, 360 and GlamBot modes in the same app. Simple Booth's AI images cost $0.10 to $0.30; ours depend on the effect, from 1 credit per face for face swap to 6 credits and up for AI effects.

Choose AI Photo Booth Pro if

  • You want Windows, Mac or Android, not only iPad.
  • You want two devices on one plan.
  • You want custom AI effects, branding and lead capture without moving to a $149 tier.
  • You want face swap, AI video, 360 and GlamBot in one app.

Simple Booth may suit you better if

  • Your setup is iPad only and you use HALO hardware.
  • You need its compliance features like age gate and moderation.
  • You want weekly plans for occasional events.
