MoveBooth vs Simple Booth: two iPad booths with different priorities

MoveBooth vs Simple Booth: how they differ

This is the closest match-up on the site, because both products run only on an iPad. The gap is in scope. Simple Booth, through its HALO app, covers stills, photo grids, GIFs, boomerang-style clips, video, green screen and printing. MoveBooth covers stills, GIFs and boomerangs and puts its effort into the contact form.

MoveBooth's own comparison page says it has no background replacement of any kind, no print layouts and no DSLR support. That page also contains one line saying MoveBooth captures video, which conflicts with its FAQ and pricing page. We treat video on MoveBooth as unconfirmed.

We have not run either app at an event. The comparison rests on what each vendor publishes.

Plans and prices side by side

Lead capture at the same price point

At roughly $149 a month the two products both collect guest data, so this is where to compare closely.

Simple Booth Pro lists data capture and survey forms, a Mailchimp integration that syncs contacts, and API access for sending data to a CRM or other tools. International SMS also starts at Pro.

MoveBooth Plus collects name, email and phone, with each field set as required or optional. It has no native CRM API integrations, and its help center says Zapier is not supported; CSV export is the route into other systems. The CSV holds name, email, phone if collected, channel name and an opt-in timestamp.

On published features, Simple Booth gives more at this tier. MoveBooth's case is that lead capture is the whole product, not one feature among many. See how MoveBooth collects leads for the detail.

Sharing, printing and paying by the week

Simple Booth lists text, email, QR, AirDrop, WhatsApp, print and gallery sharing on all paid plans. MoveBooth lists email and SMS delivery plus an online gallery per event, and no printing.

Simple Booth also sells weekly billing on its lower plans, which suits an operator with a few events a year. MoveBooth bills monthly or annually only, though the vendor rents a full kit by the day or week.

MoveBooth includes unlimited events and unlimited sharing on every plan with no per-share fees. Each license supports one active iPad booth at a time.

Trials and outside evidence

Simple Booth offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card, with 25 complimentary account credits and a cap of 15 photo uploads per day. MoveBooth also offers 7 days, but a payment method is required and the trial converts to a paid plan unless cancelled. Our notes on the MoveBooth trial cover the cancellation terms.

Simple Booth has a small Trustpilot profile: a 4.4 TrustScore from 10 reviews on the read date. That is a thin sample. For MoveBooth we found no independent reviews at all, and its app is distributed through TestFlight, so there is no App Store rating to check.
