Why operators switch
- In Simple Booth's Touchless Mode, data capture, photo editing and printing are switched off, and QR is the only way to share.
- AI is credit-based, at roughly $0.10–$0.30 per generation depending on the model.
- Some long-time App Store reviewers say recent updates removed options they relied on.
