Where each one falls short

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

Meevo

  • Listed prices are promotional; the regular rates are $179 for Lite, $299 for Essentials and $449 for Premier per month
  • Lite is capped at 5 users, 2,500 email contacts and 100 SMS credits per month
  • Plans are sold on annual contracts and cancellation requires 30 days notice
  • Email contact and SMS credit allowances are tiered: 5,000 contacts and 500 SMS on Essentials, 10,000 contacts and 2,500 SMS on Premier
  • Enterprise multi location and franchise pricing is custom with no published rate
  • The MeevoMD med spa plans cost $100 per month more than the equivalent salon tiers

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
