Where each one falls short

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.
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
