Where each one falls short

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

Planday

  • The Starter plan requires a minimum of 5 users, so single-location businesses with fewer staff cannot use the lowest published tier
  • Per-user prices for Starter and Plus are not shown on the pricing page itself; only a from GBP 2.99 headline figure is given without stating which plan it applies to, and the Pro tier is priced only by custom quote for larger organisations

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
