What shops tell us about Vagaro
Per-employee pricing
The base price rises with every staff member you add, so growing your team grows your software bill.
Features as paid add-ons
Shops describe a nickel-and-dime feel: texts, forms, and other essentials often cost extra on top of the plan.
Jack-of-all-trades
Built for salons, spas, and gyms alike, so a barbershop's day-to-day isn't the first thing it's designed around.
Or run it as a Collective
Rent chairs to independent barbers, each keeping their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts, while you sponsor their seats on one bill. Chairs start at $24.50 a month and the rate drops as the room fills, down to $15.00, so a fuller shop costs less per chair, the opposite of Vagaro's per-employee pricing climbing as you add staff. No paid add-ons nickel-and-diming each barber either.
Make the switch in an afternoon
Import your clients, set your services and hours, and share your booking link the same day. Keep your clients, your payments, and your money.
No credit card required.
Switching from Vagaro: common questions
Will my bill climb as I add barbers, like Vagaro's per-employee pricing?+
No. barber.rsvp is one flat price per shop with every barber included, so growing your team doesn't grow your software bill.
Are texts, reminders, and forms extra like on Vagaro?+
No. Automated reminders, memberships, and no-show deposits are included in the plan rather than sold as paid add-ons.
Can I move my Vagaro client list over?+
Yes. Import your clients and keep full ownership, you can export your list anytime.
Is barber.rsvp actually built for barbershops?+
Yes. Per-barber calendars, walk-ins, tips, and commission and rent tracking are the core, not features bolted onto a general salon, spa, and gym tool.
I rent chairs to independent barbers. Can barber.rsvp handle that?+
Yes, either with a Shop or a Collective. If your chairs run as one storefront (a shared menu and price list, one booking page, you running the book), that's a Shop, and one flat plan covers every chair. If each barber runs their own business (their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts) under your roof, that's a Collective, where you sponsor their seats and pay one bill. Either way, no marketplace comes between your barbers and their clients.
