Fotiqo vs Image Insight (VEGA)
Image Insight's VEGA is a capable, attraction-grade instant-photo system — ride cameras, green-screen, on-site printing — built over years of UK/EU and cruise installs. Fotiqo is the all-in-one alternative: the same venue photo-sales workflow, plus a full photographer side, a natural-language AI agent, WhatsApp delivery, and an offline-first kiosk — as software you run yourself.
