editorial · grounded in citations

Pricing

  • Booksy: $29.99/mo + $20/mo per additional lash tech. Predictable.
  • Vagaro: pricing page exists but tier prices render client-side; free trial advertised.

Beauty-vertical fit

  • Booksy is beauty-pro-native with no-show protection as a headline.
  • Vagaro lists Lash Tech as a supported industry and positions itself as the #1 software for beauty, wellness, and fitness.

Deposits and reminders

Lash appointments are long (2+ hr full set, regular fills) — deposits cover the cost of a no-show.

  • Booksy markets no-show protection with upfront deposits and cancellation fees as a headline feature.
  • Vagaro documents deposits and reminders as part of its broader stack.

Bottom line

Booksy if predictable pricing + aggressive no-show protection is the priority. Vagaro if you want the broader stack (branded app, MySite, hardware) — pending pricing.
