The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about SimpleSalon.
- The $20 Starter plan includes no SMS credits and charges 14 cents per SMS
- Pricing is charged per operator, capped at 7 operators, so a two person salon pays twice the listed rate
- SMS remains chargeable on every plan once the included 200 credits per operator on Pro or 300 on Max are used, at 10 and 9 cents each
- The free trial runs 14 days
