Simple Booth is a modern photo booth solution built around the HALO App for iPad, with optional HALO photo booth kits hardware. It targets parties, weddings, corporate events, brand activations, bars and restaurants, venues, and photo booth rental businesses, with a focus on fast setup, remote management, and instant delivery. According to the available materials, it has 30,000+ customers worldwide, a 4.7-star app rating, and has captured 40 million+ moments.
On the creative experience side, Simple Booth supports still photos, photo grids, classic photo strips, GIFs, Live GIFs, Rebound Clips, videos up to 120 seconds, plus AI effects, AI background removal, and AI asset generation. For design, it offers Layout Designer, 100+ themes and props, custom logos, overlays, stickers, start screens, thank-you pages, and gallery styling, making it suitable for branded events. Delivery options are comprehensive, including SMS, email, QR codes, AirDrop, WhatsApp, printing, galleries, and social sharing. Marketing features start with the Plus plan, adding promotional tools and analytics; Pro further adds data capture, surveys, custom messaging, API access, Mailchimp, and international SMS. Select adds age gates, content moderation, legal terms, PII cleanup, and security assessments.
Pricing is relatively transparent, with weekly, monthly, and annual billing available. Core costs $16/week or $49/month, while Plus costs $34/week or $99/month. Pro is $149/month, Select is $249/month, and Enterprise is custom-priced. A 7-day free trial is available for testing features, but it has a daily limit of 15 uploads. The Lite plan is offered through the App Store and starts at $9/week. AI uses a credit-based model at $0.10/credit, with each generation consuming 1β3 credits. Note that hardware and software are priced separately; each concurrent device requires its own license, and multi-camera or multi-city events require add-on licenses.
The main strength is its complete product workflow: front-end capture, on-site printing, digital delivery, online galleries, remote device management, and marketing data loops are all covered. It is also relatively friendly for non-technical users, with customer feedback frequently mentioning ease of use, simple assembly, and responsive support. The downside is that advanced capabilities are clearly tiered: data capture, API access, phone support, and compliance features are mostly reserved for Pro/Select and above. AI usage and multiple devices also add extra costs. The available materials do not clearly state ownership of generated photos or AI content, nor do they disclose payment methods or local support for China.
Simple Booth is best suited for event rental companies, photographers or DJs offering add-on services, brand pop-ups, trade show lead generation, interactive installations in restaurants and bars, and long-term venue deployments. Use in mainland China should be evaluated carefully: its core sharing workflow includes WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X, and other channels that are often restricted in mainland China, while international SMS, App Store access, payments, and hardware after-sales support also need real-world testing. Therefore, its China access assessment is βpartially restricted.β For domestic China events, it may be worth considering local photo live-streaming services, event interaction marketing SaaS platforms, or alternatives that support the WeChat ecosystem.
