Pricing
5 events a year and

Events are the unit — no subscription for a product you use four times a year. Every plan includes every feature; the tiers differ on size, not capability.
Prove it works with your own camera and team before you pay.

The honest maths
When annual is the wrong choice
Most pricing pages only show you the row where they win. Here's every row.
| Events a year | Paying per event | Annual | Better choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 events | US$100 | US$249 | Per event is cheaper — save US$149 |
| 4 events | US$200 | US$249 | Per event is cheaper — save US$49 |
| 5 events | US$250 | US$249 | About even |
| 8 events | US$400 | US$249 | Annual is cheaper — save US$151 |
| 12 events | US$600 | US$249 | Annual is cheaper — save US$351 |
Based on US$50 standard events. If most of your events are large (US$75), annual wins sooner.
Money questions
The things you'd want to ask
What counts as an “event”?
One date, one venue, one queue. A Saturday market day is one event. A Friday youth night and a Sunday fair are two. If your event runs across two days, talk to us — we'll be sensible about it.
Do you take a cut of anything?
No. Never. You keep your clients, their email addresses, and one hundred percent of what you charge. We are not in the middle of your business.
What happens when the free test drive runs out?
Check-in stops for that event and you'll see an upgrade prompt. Nothing already captured is lost, and photos already delivered stay live for their retention window. There is no auto-charge — you'd have to choose to pay.
Can I switch from per-event to annual?
Yes, any time. Talk to us and we'll credit what you've already spent on events this year toward the annual plan.
Do you invoice? Our treasurer needs a proper invoice.
Yes — a GST invoice with our company details, emailed to whoever needs it. Ask and we'll set it up.
Is it cheaper than hiring a photo booth?
Considerably, if you already have a camera and someone who can use it. Booth hire in New Zealand typically runs to several hundred dollars for an evening, and the machine goes home at the end of the night. Here's an honest comparison.
