The short version

  • Only Rosy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Genbook limited documentation and onboarding tutorials for new users; 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: Genbook covers Review collection, Rosy covers Text messages.
