A different product may fit better if that free appointment allowance or monthly spend does not suit your business. Salonist also charges 15% on the first visit from a new client acquired through its marketplace, while direct and returning-client bookings are commission-free. Alternatives here range from salon tools with AI call answering to a European booking platform and software designed for fitness studios. Compare booking and payment workflows, client records, integrations, supported devices and business focus, then weigh any added capabilities against the cost and processes of switching.
