FARSET vs SpaSphere

FARSET provides booking and management software for salons, barbers, and beauty businesses. Clients can book through a branded page at any time, and businesses can add a booking widget to a website. Staff calendars, service assignments, client profiles, and client history help organize day-to-day work. FARSET also lists gift cards, memberships, loyalty rewards, marketing tools, and a POS and shop. For payments, it connects to the business’s own Stripe account for deposits or full payments and says it charges no booking commission. Its widget can be embedded on WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify sites. The dashboard is responsive for phone use without an app download, and FARSET also mentions an Android app. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card, and cancellation is available at any time. The Free plan is free and allows 20 confirmed bookings per month. Pro costs £15 a month, billed monthly, for unlimited bookings. FARSET Shop is an optional add-on listed at £5 a month.

SpaSphere is business software for estheticians and boutique skincare studios, built around client care, treatment plans, bookings, payments, and retail. Client records can include skin assessments, SOAP notes, progress photos, and treatment history; multi-session plans track progress across visits. Online booking, deposits, payments, and POS are included, with payments processed through Stripe at its standard rates and no SpaSphere markup. The core plan includes a branded website on the business’s own domain and an online store for retail and gift cards. Sophie AI provides daily briefs, coaching, and retention alerts; suggested win-back messages wait for approval before sending. The core plan costs $139 a month after the first 30 days for $1 and includes up to four team members. Optional Client Referral & Loyalty and Private Shop add-ons each cost $29 a month. SpaSphere offers a free trial but no free plan. It is listed for web, Android, and iOS, though both mobile apps are beta releases with limited availability. SpaSphere says it is not medical software and is not represented as HIPAA-compliant unless separately agreed in writing.
