5 vendors documented

Square Appointments

$49/mo

Shops on a single Square stack — Appointments inherits the Square Retail / Square POS hardware and unified card processing.

Booksy

$29.99/mo

Shops where each chair is a separate barber, who all need their own calendar; flat-fee + per-staff pricing maps cleanly to that model.

Vagaro

free trial

Multi-chair shops that want a branded app, marketing, and a deep hardware stack (PayPro POS, card readers); pricing requires a sales contact.

GlossGenius

$24/mo

Solo barbers and small shops who want a no-show-protection workflow and AI-driven scheduling at the lowest documented monthly entry price in this comparison.

Setmore

$5/user

Independent barbers and small shops that just need online booking, recurring trims, and advance payment — Setmore's free tier covers up to 4 staff at $0.
