A few years ago, I bought a "lifetime license" for a photo booth app I used at my DJ gigs. Then the company retired it and re-released it as subscription software. I was frustrated—I wanted to own my tools, not rent them month after month.
So I built my own. Over the past year, I've been developing Beagle Booth with my beagle Roxy curled up on my lap. She's the namesake, the logo, and honestly the best coworker I've ever had. This app is a personal passion project, and I hope it helps me give her the life she deserves.
Beagle Booth is everything I wanted in a photo booth app: fast, reliable, and yours forever for $9.99. No subscriptions. No surprises. Just software that works.
All the features subscription apps charge monthly for—photos, GIFs, custom watermarks, instant SMS/email delivery, contact export, and more—for a single $9.99 payment. Run unlimited events with no restrictions.
