Touchpix vs Simple Booth
Choose Simple Booth for a polished iPad/HALO workflow. Choose Touchpix for mixed hardware and more booth types.
Simple Booth offers polished iPad software that can run on an existing iPad or optional HALO hardware. It includes one booth licence per plan and publishes additional-licence pricing. Touchpix adds Android, Windows, macOS and Linux support plus 360, mirror, DSLR and roaming workflows.
Touchpix vs Simple Booth in one paragraph: Simple Booth is an iPad platform with optional HALO hardware. Its professional Core plan starts at US$24/week, US$49/month or US$490/year; a Lite App Store plan starts at US$15/week. Each plan includes one booth licence and Simple Booth publishes additional-licence pricing per tier. Its trial is 7 days. Touchpix starts at US$20.89/week, US$60.49/month or US$439.90/year (PhotoPass), runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, and supports 360, mirror, DSLR and roaming workflows. Its trial is 14 days, automatically activated on signup, on a MultiPass trial licence. Simple Booth sells a polished iPad deployment. Touchpix gives an operator room to build an actual mixed fleet without paying again for every device.
Who each product is for
Choose Simple Booth if:
- you want a polished HALO/iPad deployment;
- enterprise brand-activation and data-governance tools are central to the job;
- turnkey hardware matters more than platform and booth-type breadth.
Choose Touchpix if:
- you run multiple booth types or mixed operating systems;
- you need 360, mirror, DSLR or roaming workflows;
- unlimited devices with active-event limits fit your fleet better than per-device licensing.
Build a fleet, not an iPad-only package.
Touchpix supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, with unlimited devices and plan-specific active-event limits.

Detailed comparison
The Simple Booth add-on licence is the highest among the platforms we compared
This is the number that should decide your comparison.
Every Simple Booth plan includes one device licence. Each additional device is charged separately, and the price climbs with your tier:
| Simple Booth tier | Add-on licence, weekly | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | US$24 | US$36 | US$360 |
| Plus | US$49 | US$74 | US$740 |
| Pro | — | US$111 | US$1,110 |
| Select | — | US$186 | US$1,860 |
So a second booth costs from US$24/week or US$360/year on Core and up to US$186/month or US$1,860/year on Select — every year, for every extra device.
Touchpix includes unlimited devices on every plan. MultiPass allows four active events, and each event can run on multiple devices simultaneously.
Three booths, one year
Both columns are quoted on annual billing, in US dollars.
| Touchpix MultiPass | Simple Booth Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Base plan | US$879.99/year | US$1,490/year |
| Devices included | Unlimited | 1 |
| 2 additional device licences | US$0 | US$2,220/year |
| Total | US$879.99 | US$3,710 |
Simple Booth Pro publishes an additional-licence price of US$1,110/year per device. Touchpix includes unlimited devices and limits active events instead. This three-booth scenario fits within MultiPass's four active events, whether the booths share one event or use separate events.

One iPad, one booth type
Simple Booth's HALO product line is an iPad selfie station. It does that beautifully. What it does not give you:
- 360 photo booths — the add-on clients keep asking for, and not something Simple Booth publishes
- A mirror booth mode — not published
- A dedicated roaming mode — Simple Booth markets HALO as well-suited to roaming photo booths, but there is no purpose-built roaming mode
- GoPro capture — not published
- A booth app on Android, Windows, macOS or Linux
Touchpix does all of it, and the plans stack in a way you can budget:
- 360 photo booth with built-in Bluetooth that triggers the spinner automatically. Photos, GIFs and Photo AI are on PhotoPass; video, slow-motion and boomerang start at MultiPass
- Mirror booth with 7 built-in themes
- DSLR booth with Canon, Nikon and Sony — Nikon bodies are a Touchpix-only option in this comparison
- Roaming photography and roaming iPad booth
- Party booth and permanent installs on Raspberry Pi
When a client asks for a 360 at their wedding, you either say yes or you lose the booking. With Touchpix on MultiPass, you say yes.
Offline: same queue, different last mile
Both apps keep working when the venue Wi-Fi dies. Simple Booth's help centre is clear that capture and participant-data collection run offline, and that emails, texts and uploads queue up and send once you are back online; only login and settings sync need a connection. Credit where it is due — that is a solid offline story.
The difference is the last mile to the guest. With Scanpix 2, Touchpix hands the photo to the guest's phone with no internet at all, on Apple and Android devices, so nobody leaves the venue empty-handed waiting for a queued email. On Simple Booth, the guest gets their photo when connectivity returns.
7 days is not long enough to evaluate booth software
Simple Booth gives you a 7-day trial with full feature access, 25 complimentary credits and a 15-photo daily upload cap.
Touchpix gives you 14 days, automatically activated when you create an account, on a MultiPass trial licence — so you can test photos, GIFs, Photo AI, video, slow-motion and boomerang. (Surveys sit on Pro, and RAW cloud backup and Mosaic on Enterprise, so those are not part of the trial licence.)
Most operators do not have an event inside seven days. You end up evaluating booth software in your living room instead of at a real booking. Two weeks means you can actually run it at a paid event before you decide.
Switching to Touchpix
- Start a 14-day Touchpix trial — it is activated automatically when you create an account, on a MultiPass trial licence.
- Rebuild one representative HALO event in the Online Designer, including overlays, sharing and data-capture fields.
- Install Touchpix on the hardware you plan to use, including any Android, Windows, macOS or Linux devices.
- Test each booth type you sell, especially 360, mirror, DSLR and roaming workflows that differ from an iPad selfie station.
- Run a complete test event before moving a paid booking.
