Instead of Aura'd
Aura'd alternatives
Aura'd centers salon appointments on branded web and mobile booking, with availability that updates in real time. Its client tools hold preferences, notes and promotions, while automated email and SMS reminders support attendance. Stripe connectivity accepts cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Clearpay and Klarna, and every plan has zero booking commission. The service runs on web, iOS and Android, with a REST API for services, availability, bookings and client management on Premium. Solo stylists and teams can use the same booking-led system.

An alternative may fit better when you need wider salon operations, such as inventory, payroll, point of sale, loyalty, classes, queues or multi-location controls. Aura'd's free plan allows 50 bookings a month and five services, while unlimited bookings begin at £19/mo. Custom branding, analytics and reminders require paid tiers, and API access is on the £149/mo Premium plan. Compare each option's scheduling depth, payment handling, retention tools, staff or branch management, integrations and platform coverage. Check whether its free plan or trial, regional pricing and specialist workflows suit your business better than Aura'd.
