Receipt Camera vs MY4CUT Mini Booth — What's the Difference?
The short answer
If you need a physical photo printed on receipt paper, a receipt photo booth fits. If digital sharing and lower cost matter more, the mini booth fits better. The mini booth is 150,000 KRW to buy or 50,000 KRW a day to rent, plus 5,000 KRW shipping, and the iPad is separate. For prints, connect a photo printer for color prints.
What is a Receipt Camera?
Receipt cameras print photos on thermal paper (receipt paper). Brands like Brief Company, OnePics Studio, and Monobox are popular in Korea.
They produce retro-style black-and-white receipt photos and are commonly used in cafes and pop-up stores. Prices range from $700 to $2,000+.
Price Comparison
The biggest difference is price.
- Receipt camera purchase: $700-$2,000+ (unit only)
- Receipt camera rental: ~$70/month (+ deposit)
- MY4CUT Mini Booth purchase: ~$110 (₩150,000, plus ₩5,000 shipping)
- MY4CUT Mini Booth rental: ~$35/day (₩50,000)
Running Costs
Receipt cameras need thermal paper rolls replaced constantly. Each roll prints about 30-50 photos, costing $2-4 per roll.
Mini Booth has zero consumable costs. Photos are shared digitally via QR code. If you want prints, connect a photo printer separately.
