Purpose Built Salon Software Starting at Just $5/Month
Goldie's free plan lets you test basic scheduling with just 20 appointments per month. Its Pro plan at $19.99/month unlocks unlimited appointments and automated reminders. But even on the paid plans, you're still working with a booking app not a salon management platform.
MioSalon takes a different approach. You get purpose-built salon management tools and you pay only for the modules your salon actually needs. Start from just $5/month for billing and appointment management. Add marketing, loyalty, inventory, or analytics whenever you're ready. Bundle everything together and save up to 75%.
A Complete Salon Management Platform
Goldie is great for solo professionals needing simple booking, but growing salons need much more than scheduling and text reminders.
MioSalon provides everything you need to scale:
- Billing & POS: Walk-in invoicing and multi-payment support.
- Inventory: Stock tracking and low-stock alerts.
- Staff Commissions: Automated calculations and custom rules.
- Marketing: SMS, WhatsApp, and email automation.
- Loyalty: Points, referrals, and memberships.
- Multi-Location: Centralized control across branches.
Your Payments. Your Gateway. Your Rates.
Goldie only supports Stripe for payment processing. For salons in regions where Stripe isn't the most cost-effective option or isn't available at all this creates a significant limitation.
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, and keep your existing merchant relationships.
Stay Connected With Clients Without Credit Caps
Goldie's Pro plan includes 500 SMS credits per month. For an active salon sending appointment reminders, follow-ups, and promotional campaigns, those credits can run out quickly. And there's no WhatsApp support a critical channel for salons in many international markets.
MioSalon offers messaging at competitive local rates across SMS and WhatsApp. No monthly credit caps. Send appointment reminders, promotional campaigns, and follow-up messages at prices that make sense for your region.
