Social Booth review
A feature-rich Windows booth platform with a one-time license and optional updates renewal.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Social Booth is photo booth software for event professionals, corporate events, parties and retail booths. It supports Canon DSLR, mirrorless and Powershot cameras, webcams, and multiple capture formats, including photos, videos, slow-motion video, animated GIFs and boomerangs. Its feature set also covers printing, social sharing, green-screen removal, AI photo effects, magic mirror booths and surveys, making it suited to operators who want capture, engagement and distribution tools in one Windows application.
Pricing is centered on a $299 one-time Social Booth license. That plan includes one year of updates and installation on two PCs. After the first year, the Updates renewal costs $99 per year and covers optional software updates. The pricing structure suits buyers who prefer an upfront license rather than an ongoing core subscription, while operators who want continued updates should budget for the renewal. The software also presents a free trial with feature restrictions, rather than a perpetual free plan.
Social Booth’s strongest area is its combination of booth output and event follow-up. It supports configurable print workflows, sharing through email, Facebook, Twitter, SMS, QR code, SmugMug and FTP, plus offline queues for email, SMS and Facebook uploads. Surveys and marketing data collection add a lead-capture layer, while Photo Booth Cloud and Photo Booth Connected extend its ecosystem. The main boundary is platform coverage: it runs on Windows only. Choose Social Booth when a Windows-based booth workflow, offline sharing and a perpetual license matter most; choose an alternative if cross-platform operation is required.
