Compare the plan you will actually use
Starter covers one outlet and five team seats. Growth supports up to three outlets with fifteen seats per outlet and adds memberships, loyalty, resources, inventory and commissions. Pro supports unlimited outlets with forty seats per outlet and adds payroll, purchasing and stock transfers.
These are plan limits, not a promise that every outlet is included in the first outlet price. The first outlet pays the full plan price; each additional outlet on the subscription is 40% off. Extra team seats have their own prices and limits.
Account for usage and add-ons
Each plan includes monthly SMS and AI allowances per outlet. Beyond the allowance, use is charged from a prepaid balance. WhatsApp messages have a separate usage rate. A top-up is a usage balance rather than another subscription tier.
Payroll is an optional per-outlet add-on in Growth and is included in Pro. Compare the monthly and yearly prices with the time you expect to use the software. A yearly subscription costs ten monthly payments and is paid upfront.
A simple budget method
Start with the full price of the first outlet. Add the discounted price of each additional outlet within the plan limit, then any extra seats and optional payroll. Budget for messages and AI beyond the allowances, and finally the applicable GST.
Keep subscription tax separate from the taxes your salon charges customers. The guide on salon billing explains how to configure the product; your accountant determines the treatment that applies to your business.
Understand the trial and cancellation
Approved businesses receive a 14-day Growth trial without a card or payment. Choose a plan before the trial ends. If you choose Starter, check that your day does not depend on Growth modules such as memberships or inventory.
Cancellation leaves the subscription running until the paid period ends. Review the refund policy and talk to sales for more than ten outlets rather than estimating an Enterprise quote from this table.
