Slick vs Voicent

Slick is paid business-management software for salons and barbershops. It covers booking, client records, payments, marketing, reporting, staff, and inventory. The calendar supports staff-specific schedules and prices, drag-and-drop appointment changes, day and week views, and client notes and history. Booking buttons can be placed on Instagram and Facebook pages. Unlimited SMS reminders are included, while marketing allowances range from 50 to 2,000 credits by plan. Essential costs $22 a month for one staff member, with a $22 owner calendar and $14 per additional staff member or booth renter. Supercharged costs $250 a month for 10 or more staff and includes 2,000 marketing SMS credits. Advanced is for small to medium businesses, but its price is not rendered. Slick supports Android, iOS, and web, offers a free trial, and uses monthly-rolling subscriptions as standard.

Voicent develops software for automated voice, email, and text communication, with point-and-click controls for sharing information and exchanging ideas. Its hosted service runs in a browser and can be accessed from computers, phones, and tablets. Cloud plans include call-center features such as agent dashboards, predictive dialing, and campaigns.

Calls are billed from pickup to hang-up, with a 30-second minimum followed by six-second increments. Features include call recording, voicemail drop, and dialing modes such as predictive, progressive, preview, click-to-call, and alternate phone dialing. CRM integrations include Salesforce, SugarCRM, Zoho CRM, MySQL, and Voicent CRM. The service lists a free plan, paid options from $19/mo, and a 30-day trial.
