When BoothLedger is still the right choice

If you sell face swap or generated backgrounds, or your clients want their photos by SMS, BoothLedger offers them and Froozbooth does not. For styled AI portraits, Froozbooth does them with prepaid credits, with no higher plan to take. For a classic photo booth, with printing and a gallery, the yearly cost is close: €139 a year with Froozbooth, €120 to €144 with BoothLedger Basic. The difference is that Froozbooth also lets you pay €349 once, which costs less than BoothLedger Basic from the third year. AI photo booth software

Frequently asked questions

Does Froozbooth control the same Canon cameras as BoothLedger?

Froozbooth controls Canon EOS cameras natively, through the Canon SDK, like BoothLedger, and Nikon cameras too. Check your camera body during the 15-day trial.

How many devices per license?

Two Windows PCs paired at the same time, included in every plan: monthly, yearly or lifetime.

Does Froozbooth do AI?

Yes, AI portraits: the guest’s photo is edited in a style you choose or write yourself, then printed and shared. They are paid per portrait with prepaid credits, from €0.15 a portrait, on any plan. Froozbooth does no face swap and no backgrounds generated from text; green screen is included and processed in the booth.

How much does BoothLedger cost?

BoothLedger Basic costs €12 a month, or less on the yearly plan, which gives two months free; the AI Photobooth plan costs €35 a month. These are the prices listed on their website in September 2026, so check boothledger.com for current terms. For comparison, Froozbooth costs €14 a month, €139 a year or €349 once for a lifetime license, with two machines in every plan.

Which BoothLedger plan should I compare with Froozbooth?

BoothLedger Basic is the fair comparison for a classic booth: Basic and Froozbooth both run on a Windows booth, control a Canon DSLR natively, cover two devices and include the gallery, QR and email. Froozbooth adds AI portraits paid per portrait, with no higher plan. If you sell face swap or generated backgrounds, BoothLedger’s AI plan (€35 a month) is the one that does it.

Is BoothLedger or Froozbooth cheaper in the long run?

Over three years BoothLedger Basic costs €360 to €432, against €417 on the Froozbooth yearly plan and €349 for its lifetime license: from the third year, the Froozbooth lifetime license is cheaper. BoothLedger is sold as a subscription only, so its cost keeps adding up every year. The Froozbooth lifetime license is €349 paid once, and only the optional Cloud+ (€29 a year) is billed yearly.

How do I switch from BoothLedger to Froozbooth?

Rebuild your templates and events in the Froozbooth web dashboard, install the booth on your Windows PC and pair it; there is no automatic import. PNG overlays import by drag and drop, and Froozbooth finds the photo windows on its own. Your Canon camera and any printer installed on Windows can stay, and the 15-day trial lets you test the whole setup before you decide.

How long is the free trial of BoothLedger and of Froozbooth?

BoothLedger offers a 30-day trial and Froozbooth a 15-day trial, both with no credit card. The Froozbooth trial covers two machines with Canon and Nikon control included. Photos carry a watermark during the trial, which disappears as soon as you pick a plan.

Where does BoothLedger store guest photos?

BoothLedger does not clearly state where photos are hosted, so ask them if GDPR matters to your clients. Froozbooth hosts guest photos in Paris, France (AWS eu-west-3), under GDPR. The consent text shown to guests is editable too.
