Vagaro handles salon and spa bookings well, but the branded app, intake forms, email marketing and a proper website are add-ons, and the base fee climbs with every bookable calendar. Mewayz gives you bookings, payments, marketing and the full back office on one login at a flat price.
Each additional calendar raises the monthly fee, so growing your team quietly grows the bill.
A branded app, forms, email marketing and text campaigns are separately priced modules on top of the booking base.
Payroll, accounting and a full CRM live in other tools, so the booking and the books never meet.
