GPOS vs Zolmi
Both stand on salon gift card software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose GPOS if your nail salon needs point of sale, appointment scheduling and customer management in one system, or if you need multi-store controls. Pro starts at $50 a month, while SMS reminders are included in Ultimate and Custom. Look elsewhere if you need SMS reminders on the entry plan or a different platform than Windows tablets and Android devices.
