Photo booth CRM that books while you’re at another event.
A booth business is built around the date. Semuko checks your booths and backdrops before you say yes, takes the retainer with the contract, and puts the right attendant and kit on every event.
30-day free trial · no credit card
Check the date before you say yes.
A new inquiry just came in for Saturday night. Tap the booths and backdrops you would quote. Semuko checks every unit against the calendar, so two events can never claim the same 360 platform or sequin wall.
They pick the booth. You wake up to a deposit.
Embed checkout on your site so clients can book at 11pm. Try it: build a package, pick a backdrop and sign. This is the flow your clients see.
From booth inquiry to gallery link.
Date and unit first, then backdrop, template, load-in and gallery. Scroll through the ten steps every booking follows.
Booth inquiry with the date checked
Inquiries land as leads with the date, venue and guest count. You see which booths and backdrops are already out that Saturday before you quote.
Leads →Packages, add-ons and backdrop choice
Sell open-air, 360 and mirror packages with add-ons like an audio guest book, scrapbook station or extra hour. Backdrops are product options with their own price.
Packages & options →Online booking that takes the retainer
Embed checkout on your site so clients can book at 11pm. Contract, e-signature and retainer happen in one flow.
Embeddable checkout →Booth rental agreement
Space and power requirements, idle time, overtime, guest damage and image use are in the contract the client signs, not in a text thread.
Contracts →Balance on a payment plan
Retainer at booking, balance 30 days out. Automatic reminders chase the money so you are not texting about invoices the week of the party.
Payment plans →Event details questionnaire
Load-in time, outlet distance, indoor or covered, template text, colors, logo and hashtag come in through one form linked to the event.
Questionnaires →Booth and backdrop inventory
Every booth, camera kit and backdrop is tracked as equipment. Kits conflict-check against your calendar.
Equipment & kits →Attendants on the schedule
Assign a lead attendant and helpers to each event with job roles. Staff see call times and addresses on mobile and accept the job.
Staff scheduling →Event-night run sheet
Load-in, setup, test prints, open, last call and teardown live on a shareable event timeline your attendant and the planner can both see.
Event timelines →Gallery link and review request
After the event, a workflow sends the gallery link from your capture software and asks for a review a week later.

Load-in to teardown, on one link.
The run sheet your attendant, the planner and the venue all open. Staff see call time, address and the kit on their phone, and accept the job.

Replaces your stack
One plan instead of an example photo booth company stack.
These are tools a photo booth company often pays for separately. Your own stack will differ, and some of these tools do things Semuko does not. Each row says where keeping the dedicated tool makes sense.
CRM and lead pipeline
Pipedrive Lite
$14/mo per seat, billed yearly
$14/mo
In Semuko: Clients and leads
When to keep Pipedrive
A sales CRM is built around reps and deal stages. If you run an outbound sales team, it can go further than a studio CRM.
E-signatures
Dropbox Sign Essentials
$10.05/mo billed yearly ($15 billed monthly)
$10.05/mo
In Semuko: Contracts and proposals
When to keep Dropbox Sign
If you sign a lot of documents that are not about a client (leases, vendor or HR paperwork), a general e-sign tool covers those.
Invoicing
FreshBooks LitePartly replaced
$23/mo regular monthly price, 5 billable clients
$23/mo
In Semuko: Invoices and payment plans
When to keep FreshBooks
Semuko invoices and collects payments. It is not accounting software, so most studios still keep bookkeeping for expenses and taxes.
Forms and questionnaires
Typeform Basic
$25/mo lowest listed price, billed yearly
$25/mo
In Semuko: Questionnaires
When to keep Typeform
Typeform is a design-first builder for public surveys and quizzes. Semuko questionnaires live on the client and the event.
Email automation
Flodesk LitePartly replaced
$19/mo billed yearly, 1 workflow, up to 1,000 subscribers
$19/mo
In Semuko: Workflows and client email
When to keep Flodesk
Semuko sends client email and workflow sequences. It is not a newsletter platform for a large marketing list. Keep one for that, or connect Omnisend.
Crew scheduling
When I Work Essentials
$2.50/mo per user, priced here for 4 staff
$10/mo for 4 users
In Semuko: Staff scheduling
When to keep When I Work
Shift scheduling for a large hourly crew outside of events is a different job. Semuko schedules staff against bookings.
Gear and inventory
Sortly Advanced
$24/mo first-year rate, billed yearly
$24/mo
In Semuko: Equipment and kits
When to keep Sortly
If you run a warehouse of rental stock with hundreds of items, a dedicated inventory app goes deeper than Semuko equipment kits.
Semuko Studio Pro
$79.99/mo
or $71.99/mo billed yearly (10% off)
Up to 5 users and 5 brands, workflow automation included. Essentials ($39.95/mo) has no workflow automation; Agency Unlimited ($149.99/mo) has no team cap.
Card processing is your processor’s fee (Stripe, Square, PayPal and others), on top of any plan.
Pricing checked October 2026. Each price is the lowest one listed on that vendor’s public pricing page, at one seat unless noted, often with yearly billing. Prices change, so check before you decide. This is an example stack, not a promise of savings for every studio.

“Booth operators run an operations business, not a contact list. So this is about booths, backdrops and attendants.”
Photo booth operators book units, backdrops and attendants. DJs book performers, sound and lighting, and plan music. Many companies do both in one Semuko account.
Coming from Pixifi?
A white-glove Pixifi migration, run by the person who built Pixifi.
Tim built Pixifi and sold it in 2023. He also built the migrator that moves a Pixifi account into Semuko, and he runs it with you. You review the inventory before anything imports. Not every object maps one to one, but the people, the jobs and the money come with you.
What the migrator moves
- Clients and leads
- Events and projects
- Invoices with paid balances
- Questionnaires and filled responses
- Workflows and email templates
- Booking pages and proposal templates
Mention Pixifi when you start a trial or get in touch, and Tim will plan the move with you.
Every wedding and event trade, with fair comparisons.
Booths, DJs, uplighting and video sold and scheduled together.
Add DJ, uplighting and booth bundles in the same account.
Booths, cameras, printers and backdrops with conflict checks.
The photo team works the same wedding day as your booth.
Questions
A photo booth CRM manages the business side of a booth company: inquiries, quotes, packages and add-ons, contracts, retainers, payment reminders, booth and backdrop inventory, and attendant scheduling. It works alongside the capture software that runs the booth.
