One-time licence or AI-first plan
Sparkbooth costs $149 for Premium or $189 for the DSLR edition, once. AI is a separate account: $20 a month for 100 credits, $50 a month for 300, or packs from $5 for 10. For a laptop booth that uses AI now and then, that is hard to beat on price.
DG Photobooth is $1 for a single day, $30 a month for one device or $90 a month for three, with AI images at $0.45 each in packs. If AI portraits are what you sell at most events, having face swap and virtual try-on in the same app keeps things simpler.
