What does salon software really cost?

A “from” price per month says nothing about the real cost: the extra staff, the SMS beyond the quota, the commission on new clients, the set-up fees. Enter your figures: the simulator applies to each tool what its pricing page publishes, and says what it does not publish.

Your salon

You included. Some tools charge for every diary.

The whole team together.

Reminder SMS per appointment

0 if you remind by email only, 1 for a reminder the day before, 2 for the day before and the morning.

Refine: average price, commissions, your current tool

Used to work out commissions.

Fresha and Treatwell are marketplaces: some of your new clients will come through them and pay their commission. Two per month to start; enter 0 if you expect none.

Treatwell takes 2.5% on these payments. 0 if you take payment at the salon.

Your current tool, from your quote

All included, staff too. Leave 0 not to show it.

Once, at set-up.

From your contract.

The method

How it is calculated

Five lines per tool, always the same, filled with what its pricing page publishes.

  1. Subscription = published price × 12, at the yearly rate where there is one, monthly otherwise.
  2. Extra diaries = staff beyond what the subscription includes × published supplement × 12.
  3. Paid SMS = (appointments × SMS per appointment − SMS included) × SMS price × 12, never negative.
  4. Commissions = new clients × average price × rate × 12, and prepaid appointments × average price × rate × 12. Set-up = published one-off fee. Total = the sum; “at least” when a line is not published.

The simulator does not judge what each tool does: a till, a marketplace, online payment are worth their price to those who use them. It only says what the invoice would be, at equal figures. A tool not listed here, Posea or Probook for instance, is compared through the “your current tool” line and its quote. Swiss offers taken from the official pricing pages on October 19, 2026; SMS converted at the ECB rate of September 24, 2026. A price has changed? Write to us, the table is corrected everywhere.

Three lines to read

What makes the difference on the invoice

Three items that change the ranking depending on the salon, and that a “from” price does not show.

  1. 01

    The diaries

    A tool charged per staff member doubles its price at two, triples at three. A four-person salon often pays more for the diaries than for the basic subscription. Look at the column before the first one.

  2. 02

    The commission on new clients

    20% of a CHF 150 colour is CHF 30 per new client, taken on her first visit. If your clients come by word of mouth and Instagram, this line is zero. If they come from the marketplace, it is worth paying. The simulator puts a figure on it; you say where your clients come from.

  3. 03

    The SMS beyond the quota

    Two reminders per appointment on 160 appointments make 320 SMS per month. With 150 included, 170 are paid; with 20, almost all. At 6 centimes per Swiss SMS the gap stays modest; at 15 centimes it weighs.

Questions

What we are asked about prices

Why do some totals say “at least”?

Because the tool’s pricing page does not publish everything: Salonkee gives neither its set-up fees, nor its commission, nor the number of diaries included; Treatwell and Fresha do not give the price of SMS beyond the quota. Rather than invent, the simulator counts what is published and flags the rest. Ask for a written quote, then enter it in the “your current tool” line.

Are the prices up to date?

They were taken from the official pricing pages on October 19, 2026 and are the same as in our comparison. When a price changes, the table is corrected and the date with it. If you see a gap with a tool’s page, write to us.

Why does Napiro appear sometimes as Envol, sometimes as Signature?

Envol, at CHF 25 per month, is reserved for a single practitioner who does not exceed 25 appointments per month. Beyond, it is Signature: CHF 390 per year, unlimited diaries, 150 SMS per month. The simulator picks the plan your salon is entitled to.

Is the cheapest the right choice?

Not necessarily. A certified till, a marketplace that brings clients, online payment: these are services Napiro does not offer and that are worth their price to those who use them. The simulator puts a figure on the invoice; the comparison below says what each tool does. Napiro’s trial lasts 14 days, no credit card.
