What the rental company gains
- Two machinesThe booth and its backup, or two venues the same night, with no device license to add.
- Everything in every planGIF, boomerang, video guestbook, survey and gallery: no higher plan to buy.
- Lifetime license€299 once, updates included, if you are done with subscriptions.
- Works without a networkCapture, printing and QR run locally. Emails go out on their own once the connection is back.
When Curator is still the right choice
If your booth is an iPad today, if you sell augmented reality or 360, or if you want to pay per event, Curator does far more than Froozbooth. Froozbooth stays a Windows photo booth that prints and shares, with green screen and AI portraits, and no 360 on Windows. iPad, iPhone or Windows PC photo booth: which to choose?
Frequently asked questions
Does Froozbooth run on an iPad like Curator?
Not yet. The Froozbooth booth runs today on a Windows 10 or 11 PC or tablet. An iPhone and iPad app is in the works, with the same license, and a beta will open first to rental companies who sign up. The dashboard, where you prepare events, already opens in the browser of any device, iPad included.
Is the video guestbook included?
Yes, in every Froozbooth plan, like GIF, boomerang and the survey.
Can I pay per event?
No. Froozbooth is available monthly at €14 with no commitment, yearly at €139 or for life at €299. For a single event, one month is enough.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes, 15 days with no credit card, on two machines. A watermark marks the photos during the trial.
