How much does Appointica cost?

A 30-day free trial, then team-size prices: Solo £17/month, Salon £35/month for 2–3 staff, Unlimited £49/month from 4+ — all 12 tools on every plan ([see all features](/features)). The price is published on our website — no custom quote, no sales call required.

What fees does Appointica charge?

One monthly subscription by team size — Solo, Salon (2–3), or Unlimited (4+). Same tools on every plan. No marketplace commission on bookings. When clients pay by card, Stripe charges their processing fee and Appointica adds a 0.5% platform fee — stated clearly upfront.

Who built Appointica?

A third-generation hairdresser and barber — award-winning salon and spa manager with 30 years on the floor. The smartest salon software — tell it what you need and it performs actions inside the system. Booking, expenses, commissions, and coaching in one place ([see all features](/features)).

How long does setup take?

Most salons are live in under 30 minutes. Add your services, team, and share your booking link. Tell the software if you get stuck — 24/7 support without phone queues.

Can I grow my salon without a marketplace?

Yes. Many salons build their client base through Instagram, Google, referrals, and their own website. Appointica gives you a booking link, salon website, and CRM — no marketplace listing and no commission on your direct bookings. Team-size prices after trial: Solo £17 · Salon £35 (2–3 staff) · Unlimited £49 (4+) ([see all features](/features)).

What is the difference between a marketplace and salon software?

A marketplace lists your salon next to competitors and may charge commission when it introduces new clients. Salon software like Appointica is your own system — your brand, your booking link, your client database — with a predictable monthly subscription and no marketplace cut on direct bookings.

I currently use Treatwell — can I try Appointica?

Yes. Sign up for a free trial, set up in parallel, and switch when you are ready. Import your client list and services — no migration fee and no long-term contract.

What salon types does Appointica support?

Hair salons, barbershops, beauty salons, nail studios, spas, and wellness centres. All features are included regardless of business type.

Have you checked what booking software actually charges for extra features?

We don’t play those tricks — because we’ve suffered from them too. Built by a third-generation hairdresser and barber — award-winning salon and spa manager who still works on the floor.
