| Photographer | Photo booth | CarShots | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $12–$15 per car, as dealers report it[1] | $30,000–$68,700 to install, plus service fees[2] | About $3.00 a car for 20 photos ($50 a month for 333 photos) |
| Time | Waits for the photographer's next visit | Each car is driven into the booth | About 20 seconds a photo, wherever the car is parked |
| Consistency | Depends on the photographer, the light and the weather | Very consistent: same room, same light | Same backdrop and guided angles on every car |
| Hardware | None for you; the photographer brings it | A booth, lights, cameras and floor space | The phone you already carry |
