# Mini Photobooth vs Photo Booth Studio

Mini Photobooth and Photo Booth Studio both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Photo Booth Studio's written reviews are positive against 51% of Mini Photobooth's. Mini Photobooth's advantage is ratings volume (9.1K vs 202) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Photobooth sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per month and Photo Booth Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Mini Photobooth against 4.8 for Photo Booth Studio. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Photobooth has 9.1K ratings behind it against 202, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Mini Photobooth's written reviews are positive against 83% of Photo Booth Studio's.
