Unlimited Bookings from Day One
The entire point of salon software is to help you get more clients. But with Planfy's Solo and Team plans, your success is capped. If your salon hits 250 or 1,500 online bookings, you're forced to upgrade to the expensive $97/month Ultimate plan just to keep your calendar open.
MioSalon does not believe in artificial limits. Whether you are on our $5/month starting plan or a comprehensive bundle, you get unlimited online bookings. Fill your calendar without looking over your shoulder or worrying about hitting a quota.
Fair Messaging Rates, No "Overage" Traps
Client reminders are essential to preventing no-shows, but Planfy gives you dangerously low SMS allowancesas few as 50 or 250 credits per month. If you exceed this, you get hit with overage fees of up to $0.07 per SMS, turning a $37/month subscription into a massive bill.
MioSalon connects you with affordable, localized SMS and WhatsApp messaging rates. You pay fair market prices for your region without artificial monthly caps or punitive overage fees. Stay in touch with your clients effectively and affordably.
Upgrade Your Features, Not Your Tier
With Planfy, if you want dynamic service pricing or unlimited online bookings, you have to upgrade to the $97/month tiereven if you don't need the 50 staff calendars that come with it.
MioSalon prevents this with smart, modular pricing. Start with advanced billing and appointment management for just $5/month. Want to add automated marketing? Just add that module.
You build your own software package. No forced tiers. No wasted money.
Global Payments - Local Rates
MioSalon integrates with 6+ payment gateways, giving you full control over your transactions:
- Choose the gateway with the lowest transaction fees in your area
