The full Foam Daddy lineup
What each product line does, what it costs, and which operator it is actually for.
Foam Cannons & Foam Machines
The machine is the revenue engine. Foam Daddy builds commercial cannons made to run full events week after week, and the HD Pro Stacker is their flagship for foam party professionals.
HD Pro Stacker Foam Cannon
$2,750 (reg. $3,100)Foam Daddy's number one selling machine for foam party professionals. Built to stack deep foam fast, which is what parents and schools are actually paying for.
Best for: Operators making foam a core revenue line, not a side item.
Large Foam Cannon
$1,800Commercial cannon at a lower entry price than the Pro Stacker, sized for backyard parties, church events, and school field days.
Best for: Your first commercial foam machine.
MEGA Foam Machine
$1,395 (reg. $1,500)High volume foam output for covering larger play areas, a good second machine when you start double booking weekends.
Best for: Adding a second unit or covering big fields.
Turnkey Foam Party Package
$559Bundled starter package so you are not piecing together machine, solution, and accessories from three different orders.
Best for: Testing foam demand in your market before buying a Pro Stacker.
Foam Solution & Foam Gel
Solution is your only real variable cost per event. Foam Daddy's foam gel is ultra concentrated, non-toxic, non-staining, and hypoallergenic, which is the answer schools and churches want in writing before they book you.
Foam Daddy Foam GEL
From $97 (reg. $99)Ultra concentrated gel, the day to day workhorse. Dilutes far past standard liquid concentrate.
Best for: Every operator. Keep two on the truck.

How to price it
A healthy foam add on prices at roughly three times your cost per event. At $135.00 per event that is about $400 for a standard one hour foam session. Charge more for two hour runs, deep foam pits, added travel, or weekend prime time slots.
Estimates only. Solution use varies with run time, machine output, and weather, and your insurance, permits, and payment processing fees are not included here.
