Get the Features You Need Without the Hidden Costs
A common frustration among Insight users is that while the base price might seem reasonable, essential modern features like SMS appointment reminders and marketing text bundles are treated as expensive add-ons that inflate your monthly bill.
MioSalon believes in transparent, modular pricing. You choose the specific modules your salon actually needs, and you get access to all the features within that module. No hidden fees, no surprise add-on costs. Build your plan starting from just $5/month, and bundle modules to save up to 75%.
See Your True Profitability at a Glance
Insight boasts over 80 different reports. But more reports don't always mean better insights. Users often complain that finding the right data is tedious, requiring them to run three or four separate reports just to understand their daily performance.
MioSalon's Business Intelligence module consolidates your data into powerful, easy-to-read dashboards. Track staff performance, retail-to-service ratios, and complex commissions in real-time. Don't dig through dozens of spreadsheets get the answers you need instantly.
Software That Doesn't Feel Like Work
Because Insight still supports an "on-premise" installed version, its architecture has legacy roots. This often translates to a steeper learning curve for new staff and a mobile app experience that feels like an afterthought.
MioSalon is built natively for the cloud. It is incredibly fast, features an intuitive design that your front desk can learn in minutes, and works flawlessly on any device whether you're using a desktop PC, an iPad at the chair, or your phone on the go.
From Solo Stylists to Growing Chains One Platform for All
MioSalon is built for salons of every size:
- Solo practitioners Start with just billing and appointments for $5/month
- Small teams (25) Add marketing, loyalty, or inventory as you grow
- Multi-location chains Centralized management, advanced analytics, and team controls
Whether you're a one-chair barbershop or a 20-location spa chain, MioSalon has a plan that fits your stage and your budget.
