Glamorph vs Salonist

Glamorph combines online booking and client management for independent beauty professionals and small teams. Client records can store preferences, reported allergies and sensitivities, treatment notes, formulas, photos, signed documents, appointments and payments. A shareable booking page lets clients choose a service, professional and live available time, with automatic or approval-based confirmation. Users can create consent and intake forms, send signing links and retain signed PDFs. Photos can be tagged to a client and session, with selected images shared in galleries. Payments are supported through Stripe, SumUp and Square; Glamorph currently charges 0.5% on eligible Stripe payments initiated through Glamorph and no transaction fee on SumUp or Square, while provider fees remain separate. The Base subscription costs €9.99 per month and includes one active appointment calendar. Android and iOS apps keep core records available during connection gaps; web services require internet. Glamorph is based in Greece.

Salonist is cloud-based salon management software covering bookings, point of sale, inventory, staff, marketing and memberships. It works on web and mobile without installation. Clients can book at any time through a website, Instagram or the Salonist app, with automatic reminders and options for recurring or package bookings. Its integrated POS supports card, contactless and Stripe terminal payments, bulk checkout, payment reports and stock updates. The service targets businesses ranging from hair salons, massage centers and spas to barbershops, nail salons, aesthetic skin clinics and pet groomers. Salonist lists more than 40 integrations, including Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Clover, QuickBooks and Authorize.Net. The free Market Place Listing plan includes 50 appointments per month. Essential costs $59.00 per month, Advance costs $109.00 per month and Expert costs $179.00 per month. Expert includes a custom-branded client app published under the salon's name. A 15% commission applies once to the first visit from a new client discovered through its marketplace; returning-client and direct bookings do not incur that fee.
