The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Square plus plan pricing not specified in documentation
  • They diverge on capability: Rosy covers Online booking, Square covers Payment processing.
