The short version

  • Only Rosy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: OpenTable openTable for Restaurants charges a subscription fee on top of per-cover network fees: Basic is $149/month with covers free for the first 30 days then $1.50 per network cover, Core is $299/month at $1 per network cover, and Pro is $499/month also at $1 per network cover, so cost scales with both plan tier and diner volume rather than a flat seat price (archived plans page, 5 November 2025); 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: OpenTable covers Online reservations, Rosy covers Online booking.

Where each one falls short

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

OpenTable

  • OpenTable for Restaurants charges a subscription fee on top of per-cover network fees: Basic is $149/month with covers free for the first 30 days then $1.50 per network cover, Core is $299/month at $1 per network cover, and Pro is $499/month also at $1 per network cover, so cost scales with both plan tier and diner volume rather than a flat seat price (archived plans page, 5 November 2025)
  • On the Basic plan, reservations booked through the restaurant's own website are not free: they cost $0.25 per cover or a $49/month flat fee, a charge that is waived only on the higher Core and Pro tiers (archived plans page, 5 November 2025)

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.
