The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Goldie goldie is free to download on the App Store with no listed purchase price; monetisation, if any, is in-app and not disclosed in the store listing; 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: Goldie covers Mobile scheduling, Rosy covers Online booking.
