Booth Copilot Alternative If You Want the App to Run the Booth

This needs saying plainly before anyone compares prices. Booth Copilot is a companion app. It gives you remote control of the booth and a live view of the event in progress, from wherever you are standing at the venue.

That is a useful thing to have when you are working the room instead of hovering over a tablet. It is also, by design, the whole scope. There is no capture, no overlay engine and no 360 mode inside it.

The app is free to download and it does nothing on its own. It only works if you already run dslrBooth or LumaBooth, so the real cost of Booth Copilot is the cost of the software it points at. Lumasoft does not publish a separate price for the companion, and it would be odd if they did.

So the comparison that matters is the whole Lumasoft ecosystem against an app that runs the booth by itself. Worth reading our dslrBooth alternative and LumaBooth alternative pages alongside this one.

4.7 from 45 ratings on iOS and 4.36 from 128 on Google Play is a decent score on a small base, and that base is small precisely because a companion app is only downloaded by people who already own the main product.

It also tells you where the Android effort went. Lumasoft ships an Android app for the remote, not for the booth. So an operator with Android tablets can monitor a booth from Android but cannot run one, which is exactly the wrong way round if your hardware budget went on Android.

The interesting part of a phone first workflow is that the remote stops being a separate product. Snap360App runs capture, slow motion and speed ramping, overlays and AI generated frames, music, intros and outros, and delivery by QR, AirDrop, WhatsApp, Instagram or email from the same device that films.

Event management sits in a web dashboard you can open from any browser at the venue, and recording works offline so a dead wifi network does not stop the night. No second licence, no companion app, no PC to remote into.

This table compares two different categories on purpose, because that is the confusion worth clearing up. Booth Copilot details checked on its store listings on 28 August 2026. Snap360App costs 24,99 € a month or 239,99 € a year (19,99 € a month) on PLAN PRO, and 36,99 € a month or 359,99 € a year on DIAMOND PRO.

Keep it if you already run dslrBooth or LumaBooth and you work your events instead of standing at the booth. Being able to see the queue and fix a setting from across the room is worth the install, and it costs you nothing extra.

Just do not go shopping for an alternative to it. What you actually need an alternative to is the booth software underneath, and if the machine is a 360 spinner, a phone app that both films and controls removes the reason the remote existed.
