Why Sign a 12-Month Contract When You Can Start Free?
Boulevard requires a minimum 12-month contract before you can access the software, and they don't offer a free trial. With base pricing starting around $176/month per location, that's a massive financial commitment to make before you've tested the software in your daily operations.
MioSalon takes a different approach. Start with a free trial full access, no credit card required. Then choose the features your salon actually needs and pay only for those, starting from just $5/month. No 12-month contracts. No upfront commitments. Cancel anytime if it's not the right fit. Bundle everything together and save up to 75%.
Get the Full Suite Without the Hidden Fees
Boulevard positions itself as an all-in-one platform, yet users often find that essential features cost extra on top of their high monthly subscription. Want custom forms and charts? That's typically an extra $55/month. Need to sync with QuickBooks? That's another $45/month.
MioSalon believes essential operational tools shouldn't be treated as luxury add-ons. Our modular pricing is fully transparent. When you select a module, you get the features inside it no hidden surcharges for forms, accounting syncs, or automated reports. You know exactly what you're paying before you start.
Expand Your Salon Without Multiplying Your Software Bill
Boulevard uses a strict per-location pricing model. If you open a second salon, your software costs double instantly. For growing brands, this severely impacts profitability.
Miostaff controls across branches without forcing you to pay an extortionate multiplier just to open a new door.
Your Payments | Your Gateway | Your Rates
Boulevard steers you into their integrated payment processing. While convenient, this limits your ability to shop for better rates or use a local provider you already trust.
MioSalon integrates with 6+ payment gateways including popular local providers in your region. Choose the gateway with the lowest transaction fees, use hardware you already own, keep your existing merchant relationships, and process payments on your terms. Support for Stripe, Razorpay, PayFast, Paystack, Xendit, and more.
