Touchpix vs Curator Live

Choose Curator Live if:

• your entire fleet is iPads and iPhones and you expect it to stay that way;
• RFID/NFC sharing or specific enterprise integrations are essential, and you are on Event Pro or Agency Pro where they are available;
• your camera body is on their DSLR compatibility list and not on ours.

Choose Touchpix if:

• you run — or might ever run — Android, Windows, macOS or Linux hardware alongside iPads;
• offline delivery and offline background removal matter;
• unlimited devices with active-event limits fit your fleet better than paying per capture device.

Curator prices additional capture devices by tier

Read Curator's own pricing page carefully and the model becomes clear. Every plan includes one capture device licence. Additional devices cost:

• Standard: US$29/month, or US$199/year each
• Event Pro: US$79/month, or US$799/year each
• Agency Pro: US$99/month, or US$999/year each

The better your plan, the more each extra device costs. An Agency Pro operator adding two booths pays US$1,998/year on top of the US$2,499 base, on annual billing.

Illustrative four-device scenario

Both columns priced in US$ on annual billing.

On that basis — four capture devices, US$ prices, annual billing on both sides — Touchpix costs 77% less. MultiPass supports four active events, and each active event can run on multiple devices simultaneously, so those four devices do not consume four event slots.

Add white-label and the gap widens: Curator charges US$59/month or US$459/year for white-label URLs and emails unless you are on Event Pro or Agency Pro annual.

Two Apple devices. That is the published list.

This is the part operators miss until they have already bought hardware. Curator Live's own supported-devices article names exactly two things you can capture on: iPad Air 3 or newer, and iPhone 10 or newer. Apple Silicon Macs are listed as coming soon — announced, not shipping. There is no Windows booth app, no Android booth app and no Linux booth app. The Windows download in their help centre is a print server, not the booth.

What that means when you are quoting a job:

• No Android — low-cost Android booth hardware is off the table, permanently.
• No Windows booth — your existing Windows shells and touchscreen all-in-ones cannot run the capture app.
• No Linux / Raspberry Pi — no low-cost permanent installations.
• macOS when it arrives — a Mac mini install is a roadmap item today, not a bookable configuration.
• An older iPad is not enough — iPad Air 2 and earlier, and iPhone 8 or 9, are outside the published list.

Touchpix runs on all five operating systems today. Same licence, same event, same overlays, whatever is in the road case. Note our own scope honestly: Scanpix 2 internet-free sharing covers Apple and Android, not Windows or Linux.
