In their own words
Vagaro
Vagaro is business management and scheduling software for beauty, wellness, and fitness businesses. It combines booking pages and payments with calendar and resource management, reporting, inventory, invoices, memberships, packages, gift certificates, and customer tracking. Businesses can offer group bookings, automated reminders, and two-way calendar sync. Vagaro says it serves independent providers through businesses with multiple locations, and listings on the Vagaro Marketplace come at no additional cost. The web-based service is available through vagaro.com, with Vagaro Pro apps for Apple and Android devices. QuickBooks and Xero integrations can import sales transactions, taxes, tips, and refunds; when synchronization starts, QuickBooks initially imports only the previous two months of Vagaro data. APIs and webhooks can connect accounts to external systems and send real-time business-event notifications. The One Location plan costs $30 a month, billed monthly, for one location. A United States base subscription is listed at $23.99 a month for the first six months, with one bookable calendar included. Vagaro offers a 30-day trial, which excludes email marketing, text marketing, and the branded app.
