How we compare, side by side
Four other companies ship a booth to your door with no attendant. Here is what each one publishes, read off their own pages and dated — including the place where one of them beats us.
What each one charges, and what comes with it
Prices are the ones on their own pages on September 7, 2026. Companies run offers and there are more of them than the four here, so check before you decide — every name below links to the page we read.
| Company | Entry price, with a backdrop | Prints at the event | Props | Rental window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KnotBooth | $249 | $359 for 100 · $459 for 400 | 24 | It is at your address for days, not hours |
| Pixilated | $619 their bundle is the only tier that has one | none at the event | in the bundle only | Arrives 2-3 business days before, two days to return |
| Booth By Mail | $319 | $419 for 100 | Included | All day, no hourly rate |
| Rent My Photo Booth | $398 $299 plus a $99 backdrop | $399 for 200 | Included | Five days |
| Firefly Photo Booth | not published | not published | not published | not published |
Where the difference actually shows up
At the entry price these kits sit within about a hundred dollars of each other. The gap opens when you want guests to leave holding a photo.
Pixilated does not print at an event at all — their wedding bundle posts 4×6s to you afterwards. Booth By Mail prints at their $419 tier. Rent My Photo Booth prints at $399, and their backdrop is charged on top.
Ours is $359 with 100 prints and the backdrop already in it, or $459 with 400 on the studio printer — the one that takes about eight seconds a strip instead of forty-five. Neither of the two on this page that print at an event publishes a tier that goes past 200.
And all of it sits under a traditional attended booth, which the WeddingWire cost guide puts at $650 for about 3 hours with somebody standing beside it.
What turns up in our box
The comparison above is what each company publishes. This is what ours actually contains, which is the part a table never quite tells you.
- The shell, in three pieces — a base, a middle piece and a top piece. They slide together, no tools, and each only fits one way.
- An iPad, already set up for your event and locked to the booth app.
- Your printer and its media, with a small print server already wired to it — loaded and test-printed before it left us.
- 24 cardboard props on handles, and a stand to display them on.
- The backdrop in the colour you chose, its two stands and the crossbar.
- The prepaid return label, taped inside the lid.
It arrives the day before, goes together in about ten minutes without tools, and goes back in the same box with the prepaid label that was taped inside the lid. You have it for days, not hours, and there is no attendant standing in the corner of your party.
What each of them does better
Their pages, their words, our reading of them.
- Pixilated Their kit is the lightest of the ones here and sets up in about five minutes.
- Booth By Mail Props and a choice of sequin backdrop come with every tier, and the rental is all day with no clock.
- Rent My Photo Booth They take no damage hold at all, and the kit is yours for five days rather than three.
- Firefly Photo Booth Round-trip shipping and a return label come with every package, and they publish a 24/7 support line.
