Breeze Booth vs OpenBooth

Breeze Booth turns iPads into customizable photo booths for events and other uses. It produces branded photos, prints, GIFs, and videos, with filters, LUTs, effects, and custom processing. Design tools support custom interfaces, multiple languages and profiles, and layouts for different media. Guests can share through SMS, custom HTML email, QR codes, or microsites. Printing works with Windows-compatible and AirPrint-compatible printers. The software supports iPad and iPhone cameras, most Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras, Bluetooth devices, DMX controls, and 360 booths or robots. Payment options include Nayax, Stripe Terminal, QR code payments, credit cards, coins and notes, and MDB. Breeze Booth can run fully offline with local data storage; collected email addresses or phone numbers can optionally be encrypted. It is available for iPad, iPhone, and Windows, with a free trial. The demo has no time limit, but watermarks output after 10 sessions daily. The paid plan is $49 a month, billed at $49 per month or $499 per year per device.

OpenBooth is free, open-source photobooth software for Linux. It is designed for touchscreen operation and photo capture, with image filters, a live preview of the filtered result, and wireless triggering. The software communicates with cameras through the gPhoto2 library and its Java bindings, while OpenCV handles image processing. OpenBooth is still in development, and its project page describes initial tests in progress. The project began as an assignment at the Technical University Vienna and continues with Otelo Wien through a five-student computer-science team. It is released under the MIT License, allowing use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale under the license conditions. The project Wiki provides program documentation, hardware information, and build-and-run tutorials. Questions are invited through the Wiki or by email.
