Glamiti

Glamiti is a management platform for salons, spas, aesthetic clinics and multi-location beauty businesses. It is best suited to operators who want appointment handling and stock management under one roof. Its broad operating scope is a strength, though staff and messaging limits make plan choice consequential.

Overview

Glamiti brings scheduling, online booking, payments, client communications and inventory functions together. That breadth can simplify operations for a business coordinating appointments alongside retail products or supplies, especially across locations. The trade-off is a paid-only model with tiered limits on professionals, email and SMS; smaller businesses should compare those allowances with their needs before committing.

Key features

Scheduling and booking

The calendar supports real-time sync, reminders, rescheduling, availability tracking and staff booking management. Shareable links sent by SMS or email let clients confirm appointments, reducing the need to arrange every booking directly. Stripe Payments supports deposits and refunds, and booking information syncs with Glamiti’s calendar and customer database.

Payments, inventory and communications

POS, saved cards and Tap to Pay provide several listed payment options. Inventory tools cover products and supplies across locations, with stock monitoring, purchase orders, low-stock alerts, usage tracking and retail product tracking. This makes Glamiti more compelling for businesses that manage stock as well as services; a salon needing only appointment scheduling may not need that operational breadth. Automated SMS and email notifications can send appointment updates, but the monthly message quotas vary by plan.

Data and support

Glamiti describes itself as a service provider or data processor, with merchants acting as controllers of customer information entered into the platform. Its safeguards may include access controls, role-based permissions, secure cloud infrastructure, monitoring and logging. Information may be stored or processed outside Canada, including in the United States, a relevant consideration for businesses with data-location requirements. Phone support runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm; email inquiries receive a response within one business day.

Pricing

Glamiti has no free plan, but offers a 14-day free trial without a credit card and allows cancellation at any time. The listed prices show monthly billing and an annual option paid monthly:

Solo: CA$ 19 /month (monthly) or CA$ 39 /month (annual, paid monthly). It covers 1 professional, 100 emails/day and 100 SMS/month. The single seat and smaller message allowance suit an individual practitioner, but leave little room for a team.

Essentials: CA$ 59 /month (monthly) or CA$ 109 /month (annual, paid monthly). It supports up to 5 professionals, 100 emails/day and 200 SMS/month. The extra seats fit a small team, though email capacity stays at Solo’s level.

Premium: CA$ 129 /month (monthly) or CA$ 209 /month (annual, paid monthly). It allows up to 10 professionals, 350 emails/day and 1,500 SMS/month, a better fit for a larger team with heavier client messaging.

Unlimited: CA$ 159 /month (monthly) or CA$ 359 /month (annual, paid monthly). It includes unlimited professionals and emails/day, with 2,500 SMS/month. It removes the professional and email ceilings, but SMS remains capped.

Seat and messaging limits are the clearest reasons to move up the ladder. The trial gives businesses a chance to assess the platform before paying, but there is no free tier for ongoing use.

Platforms

Glamiti runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, giving teams a range of desktop and mobile access options.

Who it's for

Glamiti is a strong fit for salons, spas and aesthetic clinics that need appointment coordination alongside payments and inventory, particularly when stock is managed across locations. Solo practitioners can start with one professional, while team plans add seats and larger communication allowances. Businesses seeking a free ongoing plan, or with strict requirements to keep data in Canada, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros: Scheduling, online booking, payment options and inventory are combined, which suits businesses that otherwise coordinate service and retail operations separately.

Pros: Inventory includes purchase orders, low-stock alerts, usage tracking and multi-location management, useful for keeping tabs on products and supplies.

Pros: The 14-day trial requires no credit card, allowing a prospective customer to evaluate the service before purchase.

Cons: There is no free plan, so continued use requires a paid subscription.

Cons: Lower tiers have tight professional and messaging limits, and the annual-billing monthly prices are higher than the monthly-billing prices shown.

Cons: Data may be processed outside Canada, including in the United States, which may not suit every merchant’s data-location needs.

Alternatives

For a salon-focused inventory comparison, see Salon Inventory Management Software.

Salonist is worth considering if a free plan matters: its free tier includes 50 appointments per month, online booking, a calendar and scheduling, and staff shift management. It runs on Android, iOS and web.

Salonized offers an Appointments plan at €21 a month, with annual billing available at a 10% discount; extra employees cost 5 € and extra locations 16. It is a paid option with a free trial and broad platform support.

Vagaro may suit a business seeking a defined one-location price: its One Location plan is $30 a month. It is paid, offers a free trial and runs across Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.

DaySmart Salon has a Basic plan at $29 a month for one user, including online booking, appointment confirmations and Instagram and Facebook booking. It is a paid option with a free trial.

Feelaxo has a free Basic plan with a live chat widget, email marketing, custom forms and traffic analytics; its Premium plan is $29 a month. It may be a better fit when those marketing functions matter more than Glamiti’s beauty-business scheduling and inventory scope.

Insight Salon Software offers a Solo Edition (Insight Cloud) at $25 a month for a single employee, and a Partner Edition (Insight Cloud) at $50 a month. It is a paid option with a free trial.

Orbis Salon has a Lite plan at £4.99 a month for one staff member, one location, 30 bookings per month and five services, with a 50p booking service fee per booking. Its low entry price comes with explicit booking and service limits.

Pronto has a free plan for one staff member, 100 clients, 50 bookings per month and 100 products. It may suit a small operation prioritizing a no-cost start over Glamiti’s broader paid platform.

Verdict

Choose Glamiti if your salon, spa or aesthetic clinic wants appointments, payment options and multi-location inventory in one platform, and its professional and messaging allowances fit your operation. Its main advantage is that breadth; its main reasons to look elsewhere are the absence of a free plan, tier limits and the possibility of data processing outside Canada.
