How Much Does a Photo Booth Cost in 2026
A professional photo booth costs from €2,290 + VAT when bought directly from the factory (€2,690 for the 360 platform and €3,290 for the overhead 360); to rent, between €300 and €600 per event. Once purchased, it pays for itself in 3-5 events. Here is the real price breakdown by model, buying versus renting, so you can decide with confidence.
The Price of Buying a Photo Booth
Buying directly from the manufacturer, with no middlemen, these are the prices (+ VAT):
- Magic Mirror Photo Booth: from €2,290.
- Vintage Premium Photo Booth: €2,290.
- 360 Platform: €2,690.
- Overhead 360: €3,290.
The Price of Renting a Photo Booth
Renting a photo booth for a one-off event costs between €300 and €800, depending on the model, the duration and the city. It usually includes home delivery, setup, an on-site technician during the event and takedown.
The Cost of Using It: Consumables per Event
The price of the machine is only the first number; the second, the one that decides the profitability of a professional photo booth business, is the consumable per event. If the booth prints, it uses paper: a case of DNP DS620 paper costs 109 euros and yields up to 800 prints (about 13.60 euros per 100 printed photos); the DNP QW410 paper case costs 185 euros and yields 300 prints. A typical wedding uses 100 to 300 prints, so one night of consumables runs 15 to 45 euros with the DS620.
360 photo booths do not print (they deliver video via QR and WhatsApp), so their cost per event is practically zero: that is why the 360 platform is the favourite option to start a profitable photo booth business.
Buy or Rent? How to Decide
You should buy if…
You're going to use it professionally or frequently. From just a few events on, buying works out far more profitable than renting, and the equipment becomes a source of income.
You should rent if…
You only need it for a specific event (your wedding, a one-off party) and don't want to invest in the equipment.
