The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AliExpress aliExpress publishes no platform-wide pricing; each individual seller sets item price, shipping cost and return policy on the marketplace (archived homepage, 31 Dec 2023).; Rosy rosy Salon Software prices at $29/month only with a RosyPay discount, meaning full-price customers pay more than the advertised headline rate; the vendor's own pricing page shows the undiscounted comparison price as an unrendered placeholder ($XYZ/month), so only the discounted figure is a reliable USD number.
  • They diverge on capability: AliExpress covers Product catalog, Rosy covers Online booking.
