Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bookedin

  • Pricing is per calendar, so a five-staff salon pays roughly five times the headline price and lands above competitors that charge one flat business rate for unlimited staff.
  • The free plan stops at 50 bookings a month across appointments and classes together, which a modestly busy single operator exceeds in a fortnight, making it an extended trial rather than a usable free tier.
  • It is a scheduler, not a business system: there is no inventory, commission tracking, payroll or point of sale, so growing businesses hit a wall and face a migration to a salon or clinic platform.
  • Payments run through Stripe, Square or PayPal, so you carry their processing fees on top of the subscription and get no negotiated rate from the vendor.
  • Client marketing is limited to reminders and basic notifications, with none of the campaign, loyalty or rebooking automation that competitors in the salon space treat as core.

GanttPRO

  • Workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription
  • Custom fields and calendar view are excluded from the entry Core plan
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly
