Where Check Cherry is different
The honest differences that matter when you're choosing
Built for more than booths
Run photo booth, DJ, bartending, photography, and event venues from one account, with DJ song requests and do-not-play lists built in. BoothBook centers on photo booths.
Everything in every plan
Check Cherry includes its core features on every plan. BoothBook gates proposal themes, automations, and API access to its higher tiers.
Made for US event businesses
US-based and billed in US dollars, with sales-tax tools that fit how US businesses quote and file. BoothBook is a UK company that bills in pounds.
Booth depth, kept
You don't trade booth-specific tools for the breadth. Design selection, backdrop and add-on availability, and per-day package limits are all built in.
When BoothBook might be the better pick
BoothBook is a well-built, highly rated platform, and we'd rather you choose the right tool than the wrong one. BoothBook may be the better fit if:
- You only run a photo booth and don't plan to add other services.
- You need your client-facing portal in a language other than English.
- You want a wider choice of payment processors to connect.
- You're based in the UK and prefer to bill in British pounds.
Check Cherry tends to be the better fit when you offer more than one service, you're a US-based event business, or you want every feature included in your plan.
