Barbify vs PuroBarber

Barbify is browser-based management software built for barbers and barbershops, combining online booking, reminders, a client CRM, and a digital walk-in queue. Clients can book services and available times at any hour. The system sends email reminders 24 hours and two hours before appointments; its scheduling page also describes WhatsApp reminders on that schedule. The CRM adds people who book and stores appointment history, preferences, contact details, notes, and tags. Barbify lists Stripe, SumUp, and Dojo payment integrations; deposits go to the barber’s own account, with no booking commission. The Free plan costs nothing and allows one barber or staff member, five services, 30 bookings per month, and a queue for up to 15 clients. PRO Individual costs €11.99 a month and the page also shows €17.99 with 33% off. PRO Team costs €47.96 a month for up to five barbers. The service works in a browser on phones, tablets, and laptops without an app download. Barbify offers a 21-day trial; its privacy policy says identifiable appointment records are retained for two years before anonymisation.

PuroBarber brings barbershop operations together with a barber forum, videos, a store, and a client directory. Its management tools handle appointments, client records, point of sale, inventory, commissions, and reports for solo barbers or teams. Staff can place walk-in clients in a digital queue, assign them to available barbers, and notify them when service is ready. The calendar shows each barber’s availability and sends automatic reminders. Payments can be cash, card, or a mix, with tickets and transaction records available. Inventory tools track minimum stock, reorder alerts, product use by service, and consumption reports. Owners managing multiple locations can oversee location-specific staff, stock, appointments, and reporting in one dashboard. Reports cover sales, commissions, best-selling products, frequent customers, and revenue by period, and can be exported. PuroBarber is cloud-based, requires an internet connection, and runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The free Solo plan is free; paid plans include Barbershop at 199 MXN a month and Barbershop Plus at 499 MXN a month. A 30-day trial is listed.
