What the Checkmarks Mean for Your Business
Booth Types
More Events You Can Say Yes To
More booth types means more event types you can book: weddings, corporate activations, bar/bat mitzvahs, brand launches. When a client asks "can you do a 360 booth?" or "what about a mirror booth?", the answer is always yes.
AI-FX
A Premium Add-On Your Clients Will Pay For
AI-FX isn't just a feature. It's a pricing lever. Operators using AI-FX offer it as a premium experience, charging more per event for something guests genuinely get excited about. It's the kind of upgrade clients request by name once they've seen it.
Transparent Pricing
Predictable Costs, No Surprises
Snappic plans are straightforward: Starter covers photo essentials, Business unlocks AI-FX, 360, and advanced tools, Premium adds FaceMatch and white-label. No hidden fees, no token systems. You know exactly what you're paying at every tier.
24/7 Support
Help When You Actually Need It
Events don't happen 9-to-5. When something goes sideways at 11pm on a Saturday, you need someone who picks up. Snappic's support team is available around the clock, because your reputation is on the line every time you set up.
