Snappic is an iPad photo booth software from Toronto focused on AI effects, microsites and SMS sharing in North America. BoothDock comes from Germany, runs on Windows, iPad, iPhone and Mac and charges per booth. Here they stand side by side – with figures from the vendors' websites.
Snappic fits if you work in the USA or Canada, send pictures by SMS, want as many AI effects as possible and need features such as payments at the booth, client analytics or sub-accounts. BoothDock fits if you work with Windows PCs or mixed hardware, care about the price per booth, want guest data kept in Germany and serve guests in 24 EU languages. You take your templates with you as frame PNGs.
