Basic Plan

Everything you need to run a professional photo booth. Photo capture, templates, printing, and sharing — all covered. You also get access to a limited selection of AI effects to offer your guests.

Ideal for: Booth operators who want solid core features without the full AI suite.

Basic Pricing

Monthly: $24 per device / month
Yearly: $12 per device / month (billed annually — that's a 50% saving!)

Pro Plan

The full ALIVE experience. Everything in Basic, plus:

200+ AI effects — The complete library with new ones added every week
Custom AI prompts — Create your own effects with custom prompts
AI effects discount — Get discounted rates on AI credit usage
White labeling options — Remove ALIVE branding for a fully custom experience
Priority support — Get help faster when you need it

Ideal for: Booth operators who want to offer the most cutting-edge experience and stand out from competitors.

Pro Pricing

Monthly: $49 per device / month
Yearly: $29 per device / month (billed annually — save over 40%!)

AI Credits — Pay-As-You-Go

AI effects are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Every time a guest applies an AI effect to a photo, it uses credits from your account. This way, you only pay for what you actually use.

Check out AI Credits — Pay-As-You-Go Pricing for the full breakdown.

How to Choose

Ask yourself:

Do my clients ask for AI effects? → Go Pro
Do I want custom AI effects and white labeling? → Go Pro
Am I just starting out and want to keep costs low? → Start with Basic, upgrade later
Do I run high-end events? → Pro pays for itself in one booking

Our recommendation: If you're running events for paying clients, go Pro. The full AI effects library and custom prompts are what set your booth apart from the competition — and your clients will notice the difference.
