What You Get With SnapBuzz

50% of Every Sale

Guests pay $4.99–$14.99 for AI souvenir photos. You keep half. Our first Las Vegas location earns $400+ per week.

A Free Branded Photo Every Session

Every session — whether they buy or not — produces a photo with YOUR logo. That's your brand on their phone and social media. This is Simple Booth's entire product — we include it free.

Customer Emails — Free

Every session captures an email. We deliver them monthly. Simple Booth charges extra for this. We don't.

AI-Transformed Photos

Not filters. Not overlays. Full AI transformation that puts guests in themed scenes — Vegas showgirl, arrested mugshot, married by Elvis. Photos worth paying for.

Zero Maintenance

We monitor every PicBot 24/7. Updates pushed remotely. Issues fixed before you notice. If something breaks, we replace it. You never touch it.

Purpose-Built vs. iPad App

The PicBot is designed for unattended 24/7 operation in bars, hotels, and attractions.

True Kiosk Mode

Customers can't swipe out, close the app, or mess with settings. No buttons, no knobs, no way to break it. iPads can be exited with a home button press or by force-quitting.

Auto Power Recovery

Power flickers at 2am? The PicBot boots right back into photo mode — no login, no manual restart. iPads require someone to unlock and relaunch the app.

Smart Ring Light

Only activates during photo capture. Competitor ring lights blast 24/7 — a glowing spotlight in your dimly-lit bar.

Switching FAQ

1. Can I switch from Simple Booth to SnapBuzz?
Yes. There's no long-term commitment with SnapBuzz — month-to-month, cancel anytime. We'll ship you a PicBot and you can be up and running the same day it arrives. Your Simple Booth hardware and subscription are completely separate.
2. What about my existing iPad?
You can keep it, sell it, or repurpose it. SnapBuzz PicBots are purpose-built hardware — not iPads running an app. We provide everything you need at no cost.
3. Is SnapBuzz really free?
Yes. No hardware cost, no monthly fees, no setup charges. You earn 50% of every photo sale. We make money when you make money.
4. What if SnapBuzz doesn't work for my venue?
No problem. Month-to-month commitment means you can cancel anytime. We'll come pick up the PicBot. You've risked nothing.
5. Do I have to cancel my Simple Booth subscription first?
No. You can run both simultaneously to compare results. Most venues switch fully to SnapBuzz once they see the revenue difference.
6. How quickly can I get started?
Same-day in Las Vegas. Elsewhere, we ship fast — most venues are live within a week of contacting us.
