The short version

  • Only Bookeo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bookeo every plan caps monthly bookings: 200 on Solo at $14.95, 1,000 on Small and Standard, 2,000 on Large and 3,000 on X-Large at $119.95; DaySmart Spa only one user is included on the entry plan and three on the middle plans, so a spa with eight therapists pays the tier price plus 9 USD per extra head and the headline price bears no relation to the real bill.
  • They diverge on capability: Bookeo covers Online booking widget, DaySmart Spa covers Online booking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Bookeo

  • Every plan caps monthly bookings: 200 on Solo at $14.95, 1,000 on Small and Standard, 2,000 on Large and 3,000 on X-Large at $119.95
  • The Solo plan at $14.95 per month allows only 1 consultant and 1 staff login
  • Small at $29.95 and Standard at $39.95 both allow 1,000 bookings per month, so the extra $10 buys staff seats rather than capacity
  • SMS and fax messages are a paid add on starting at $0.09 per credit with bundles from $5 for 40 credits
  • Digital waivers are a separate add on starting at $9 per month for 200 waivers

DaySmart Spa

  • Only one user is included on the entry plan and three on the middle plans, so a spa with eight therapists pays the tier price plus 9 USD per extra head and the headline price bears no relation to the real bill.
  • Text and email allowances are tiered, so a spa that leans on reminders can be forced onto a much more expensive plan by message volume rather than by needing any additional feature.
  • The unlimited user tier has no published price at all, which breaks the transparency the rest of the range offers exactly at the point where a multi site chain needs to plan a budget.
  • There is no clinical charting, consent capture or medical record handling, so a medi-spa performing injectables or laser treatments needs a second system for patient records and the two will not share data.
  • It is a long established small business product built around a desktop lineage, and reporting and the interface show that age next to newer spa platforms, which matters if you want modern analytics rather than a working till.
