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.
