Subscription cost only; card-processing rates apply separately and are broadly comparable across platforms. *Calendoula annual cost reflects the $5/mo annual-billing discount; competitor figures are list monthly price × 12. †Acuity and Booksy lack built-in POS, so you'd need additional software.

Absolutely. Change your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades apply at the next billing cycle.
Pay As You Grow ($24/mo, includes your first staff member, then $5/mo per additional staff) is the cheapest option for small teams. Once you have around six or more staff, the Unlimited plan ($54/mo flat) costs less and never goes up. Those are annual-billing prices; monthly billing is $5/mo more per plan. You can switch between plans at any time.
Only how you pay for staff. Both plans include the entire platform — every feature, every module, multi-location, marketing, AI, and support. There is no feature gating between tiers.
Both plans include multi-location management with no extra charge — locations are not gated by tier.
Yes — annual billing takes $5/month off either plan. Pay As You Grow drops to $24/month and Unlimited to $54/month, saving you $60 a year.
SMS is billed by usage on top of your plan: $3/month in any month you send messages (nothing in months you don't), plus $0.02 per message segment. You can also connect your own Twilio, Plivo, or Telnyx account and be billed by them directly instead.
The AI features are included in every plan, but you bring your own AI provider subscription — add an API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, or Grok, and you're billed by that provider for usage. This keeps your AI costs transparent and under your control.
No. Payments are collected via emailed or texted payment links, or by entering card details manually at checkout — no card reader is included or required.
