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

- 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
