Mini Photobooth is the friendliest option here for a host who has never run a booth. It is free to download for iPhone and iPad, and the App Store page lists Pro Mode at $44.99 a month or $269.99 a year. You design a booth by choosing a layout, adding custom text from 120+ fonts, backgrounds, effects and stickers from a library of 800+, then run it live in Event Mode with a passcode and a countdown before each shot. Guests can preview and retake, print to any AirPrint printer and share through email, messages or social media. Bluetooth remote shutters and Canon EOS and Sony DSLRs are supported, and Guided Access keeps guests inside the app. It lacks the online galleries, SMS gateways and data capture of the professional apps above, and Minivan Labs does not spell out which features require Pro. It carries a 4.7 rating from 9.1K ratings. We compared documented features and published prices.
