The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Phorest no price is published for any of the seven plans, and every route ends at a quote request; SuperSalon the vendor's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 3 January 2022 stated 'SuperSalon is now a part of Zenoti,' confirming in the vendor's own words that SuperSalon (formerly ProPoint Solutions, LLC) was acquired by Zenoti; no independent SuperSalon pricing survives and the page offers only a demo request under the Zenoti brand
  • They diverge on capability: Phorest covers Appointment booking, SuperSalon covers Multi-location management.

Where each one falls short

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

Phorest

  • No price is published for any of the seven plans, and every route ends at a quote request
  • There is no free trial at all, which the company states plainly
  • The product is described as suited to 3 or more staff, so a solo operator is outside the intended range
  • The branded booking app requires the Ultimate plan, and two way SMS, memberships, lead management and the ads manager are all Elite only

SuperSalon

  • The vendor's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 3 January 2022 stated 'SuperSalon is now a part of Zenoti,' confirming in the vendor's own words that SuperSalon (formerly ProPoint Solutions, LLC) was acquired by Zenoti; no independent SuperSalon pricing survives and the page offers only a demo request under the Zenoti brand
