Where each one falls short

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

HappyFox

  • The Basic plan caps agents at 5, with unlimited agents only above it
  • Per agent prices are not published on the main pricing page and require opening a separate page per product
  • The 20% saving requires annual billing

Zenoti

  • Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
  • Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
  • Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
  • Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
