I created this app because I wanted a photobooth at my own wedding. They’re so much fun at every event, and I always loved getting photos as a party favor. I created a much smaller version of Mini Photobooth and it was an absolute hit with my guests. Everybody encouraged me to make this available, so I worked on it for a long time to get it right, and to make Mini Photobooth as it is today. I want everybody to be able to have this fun experience at their own events! There are lots of updates coming soon, and if you have any feedback, I’d love to hear your ideas. I hope you enjoy Mini Photobooth!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mini Photobooth at 4.7 against TapBooth's 3.1. Mini Photobooth also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9K vs 35). TapBooth's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TapBooth sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Mini Photobooth sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mini Photobooth holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Photobooth has 9K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of TapBooth's written reviews are positive against 51% of Mini Photobooth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TapBooth ships an update every 5 weeks, Mini Photobooth every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
