    Quick Answer

    Vagaro's base price looks low — until you add per-user fees and the add-ons most salons need (forms, marketing automation, branded app, advanced reporting). A typical 5-staff salon pays $130–$200/month on Vagaro. Beautifyx ships every feature on every plan, usually 30–50% less in total.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why does Vagaro nickel-and-dime?

    It's their business model: low base price, premium features as paid modules. It works for tiny operators but quickly inverts as you grow.

    Are the add-ons actually optional?

    Most aren't. Without marketing automation, forms, or the branded app, you're operating with one hand tied. Beautifyx ships all of these by default.
