The photo booth alternative

photo booth.

€400 rental, 40 minutes of setup, a queue all night long — for 150 posed photos. Your guests have had the better camera in their pocket for years. snaplounge turns every smartphone into a photo booth and collects it all live in one gallery.

01An honest comparison

A photo booth costs more than just the rental.

Classic photo booth
€400–800 rental
Per evening. Plus travel, often plus an attendant and printed material.
30–60 min setup
Plus 2 m² of floor space your party needs somewhere else.
One queue, one photo
Only one person shoots at a time — everyone else stands and waits.
~150 posed pictures
Funny faces against a white backdrop, collected at the end of the night.
One print, then it's over
Print out, done — no liking, no commenting, no second look.
Tied to power & hardware
If the camera, printer or rig hiccups, the box stands still — moment gone.
Packages end
Once the provider packs up, the tech is gone — and you're tied in.

02What a box can never do

Two things no photo
booth in the world can do.

A box stands in the corner and prints. snaplounge thinks along — even when the Wi-Fi gives up, and long after the party is over.

Guest taking a photo on the dance floor — the photo is stored offline and uploaded later
Safe in the gallery
No photo gets lost

Bad signal?
Every photo still lands.

No reception on the dance floor? Every picture is stored safely on the phone first and uploads automatically as soon as the signal is back. No photo booth can do that — and neither can WhatsApp.

Social media for your event

A private feed,
not one print and done.

Instead of a single print, your event gets its own private photo feed: guests like and comment like on Instagram — but closed, only for the people who were there.

03What it really costs

You rent a photo booth for one evening. snaplounge is yours.

For the price of a single photo booth evening you can run several events with snaplounge — and keep every single photo. No travel fee, no attendant, no paper roll that runs out halfway through.

05Honestly, though

But a photo booth has its charm, right?

True — the instant print is the one thing digital doesn't do. In return every guest gets all the pictures in full resolution, not just the one against a white backdrop. Anyone who wants a print orders it later, straight from the gallery.

The real eye-catcher is the photos: with the live wall you project every new picture large on the wall, the moment it's taken. That draws more looks than a box in the corner — and takes up no space.

Modern smartphones take remarkably good pictures — and instead of one fixed camera you get hundreds of angles. The honest, unposed moments a box never catches.

No problem. Photos are stored on the phone first and upload automatically as soon as the signal is back. Nobody loses a picture, nobody even notices.

—Less hassle, more memories

The photo booth
is yesterday's news.

Create your event in two minutes. The first 25 photos are free — no subscription, no credit card.

Frequently Asked Questions

snaplounge offers a free plan with 5 guests and 25 photos to try it out. For larger events, there's Pro (€59) with up to 100 guests and 5,000 photos, and Premium (€89) with up to 300 guests and 10,000 photos. All prices incl. VAT, one-time payment — no subscription!

A photo booth sits in one corner and captures what happens there — for 300 to 500 euros per event. snaplounge collects what your guests are taking anyway: every photo, everywhere in the room, all night. At a fraction of the cost.

As a rough guide: with 100 guests you can expect several hundred to well over a thousand shots across an evening. Most of them normally stay on other people's phones — those are exactly the ones snaplounge brings to you.

This is the most common reason photo sharing fails at parties. With snaplounge your guests can pick their photos without a connection — the upload happens automatically once they're back online. Nobody waits, nobody loses a shot.

Yes, and that's the whole point of the QR code: nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Point the camera at the code, the page opens by itself, start taking pictures. If someone can take a photo, they can join in.
