Bookodile vs Vagaro

Free at one location with up to two active booking spots and 40 bookings a month, with every feature and add-on — SMS aside, which need a paid plan. Not a trial — a plan a small business stays on. A paid plan starts with 14 days free rather than a charge. More

No free plan on any regional pricing page. The only way in is a 30-day trial, then a paid subscription per bookable calendar. Source

No commission, no new-client fee, no per-booking charge. The bill is the subscription, plus any SMS you send with the SMS messages add-on, billed per SMS and capped each month. More

Being listed on the marketplace is free in the US, Canada and Australia — the pricing FAQ says 'at no additional cost'. In the UK, since 14 July 2026, a one-time 20% fee is charged when a brand-new customer books through the marketplace or the Google, Apple Maps, Instagram, Facebook and Yelp channels, collected as a 20% deposit at booking; bookings through your own widget, website or branded app carry no fee. Everywhere, the opt-in Fill My Books and Daily Deals charge 20% of a new customer's first booking and 5% of an existing customer's, with a $1.00 minimum. Source

Every feature and add-on is included — reminders, reviews, vouchers, the waiting list, forecasting, Messages, AI Chat and the website with your own domain. The one thing billed by use is SMS: the SMS messages add-on is free, and each SMS is billed monthly with a paid plan at a price per country, never more a month than a cap that starts at the plan's own price. Each location is billed at a base rate. More

Sold separately, per month, in US figures: text marketing from $20, forms $10, online shopping cart $10, website builder $20, branded app $100 plus a one-time $100 and $10 per extra location, check-in app $10, live stream $10 per licence, payroll $34 plus $5 per employee (US only), QuickBooks $10, Xero $10, Data Lake $40, API and webhooks from $10, Vera receptionist $10, one-to-one training $100. Email marketing is free to 1,000 emails a month, then $10 to $90. Canadian, UK and Australian prices differ and sit on the same page. Source

One plan, with free limits: every account, including a free one, has every feature and add-on. The one exception is SMS, which need a paid plan, because each one is billed on its invoice. More

There are no tiers — one subscription per calendar — but the base plan lacks the add-ons above, and several included features only work with Vagaro's own card processing: deposits, a card on file, cancellation and no-show fees ('Vagaro only accepts and processes deposits and fees from Vagaro Merchant Services'), selling gift cards online, and the API. The trial also excludes email marketing, text marketing and the branded app. Source

Monthly, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. There is no yearly plan. More

The software is month to month — 'Cancel anytime with no cancellation fees' — though subscription fees already paid are not refunded, add-ons are billed to the end of the cycle, and there is no pause: you cancel and reactivate. The 12-month term is on Merchant Services, not the software: the free card reader comes with a commitment to process with Vagaro for at least 12 months or pay an early-cancellation fee — £100 on the UK page, $140 on the Canadian page, $150 in the customer agreement for the US, where a $10 monthly reader rental is also waived only in months with $1,000 processed. Source

Bookodile does not take your customers' money. The payment-tracking add-on records what you were paid; payment stays between you and the customer. More

Vagaro's own merchant services in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, with PayPro terminals, Tap to Pay on a phone and same-day payouts. US rates for a business under $4,000 a month: 2.6% + $0.10 per swipe, dip or tap and 3.5% + $0.19 keyed in; above $4,000 a month, 2.29% + $0.19 plus a $10 monthly fee. UK 1.15% + £0.20; Canada 2.65% per dip or tap; Australia 1.90%. Another processor can only be used by recording payments by hand. Source

bookodile.com/your-business, with your logo, colour, services — each with its photo, when you add one — and hours. One page per location. More

A listing page at vagaro.com under your business name that 'uses a shared design across all businesses to keep the Marketplace consistent', selling services, classes, products, gift cards, memberships and packages. A page in your own look is the paid website builder. Source

One snippet embeds the whole flow in any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-built — inline or behind a Book-now button in your brand colour. A QR code is generated for print. More

Vagaro generates the HTML for a widget that embeds in a page, a plain link, or a button that opens a pop-up or a new tab, with a colour picker, and one widget per employee or per location if you want. It can only be created on the web or the tablet app, and Vagaro says not to edit the code. Source

The customer gives only the details you require — a name, and an email, a phone number or both. No account, no app, no password. My Bookings, a web page they sign in to with an emailed code or Google, shows every booking they hold, if they want it. More

Every online booking needs a Vagaro customer account — sign up by email, phone, Google, Facebook or Apple, then a six-digit verification code. 'Every time you book with a Vagaro business, you will need a Vagaro account.' Source

Combo services chain stages into one booking, and the extras you configure are offered during booking, in more than one round. Customers do not pick arbitrary pairs from the catalogue — you decide which combinations exist. More

Customers add up to six services to one online booking, on the same day, scheduled back to back; staff can add up to six in one go from the calendar. Service bundles group up to six services at one price. Source

Each stage of a combo can have its own team member, its own duration and its own room, booked back to back. Each person is blocked only for their own stage, never for the whole visit. Staff move the whole visit in one step, with the times that fit every person in it shown first. More

In the same flow, 'You can choose to have each service performed by one or different service providers', and each service becomes its own appointment on that person's calendar. All of them must be on the same day and, online, in one contiguous slot. The help centre does not say in words that the first person is free during the second stage. Source

Rooms, chairs and equipment with a capacity and their own hours. A service can need a resource alone, a person alone, or both, and capacity is enforced when the booking is made. A service linked to several takes whichever one is free; a booking never holds two at once. Each one is open to anyone who does its services, or kept for named people when it belongs to them — three juniors share a chair while the master has his own. More

A room or a piece of equipment attaches to services and classes, and Vagaro picks the first free one. Its support replies on that article say one resource per appointment, no schedule per resource, and a resource cannot be optional; a resource is one unit, with no capacity field, and nothing documents booking a resource without a person. Source

Events with a capacity and a registration list for one-off things; a recurring class is a service on a resource with a capacity, so it fills up and stops. More

Classes and workshops with an in-house capacity and a separate live-stream capacity, repeating schedules, online registration, a class waitlist and a 'seats remaining' display. Live streaming is a $10-a-month add-on per licence. Source

A service can be priced per team member, or per category such as Junior and Senior. The customer sees each person's price as they choose who, and the category's name too if you show it. More

'Businesses can also set different prices for their service providers who offer the same services' — price, duration and points per person, per service. Class prices are the same for every instructor. Source

A service can take a different time per team member. Leave someone blank and they use the service's own duration. More

The same screen: 'Optionally, update the Price and Duration of the employee's service(s)'. Gap time mid-service is also set per person. Source

Each service can have its own buffer after it, up to 120 minutes, which blocks the person and any resource it used. Enforced on the booking page and in the booking API. More

'Cleanup Time' after a service, up to 120 minutes, shown on the calendar; a setting adds only the longest cleanup at the end of a multi-service online booking. Separately, gap time mid-service frees the person for another booking. Source

Your team adds customers to the list; they cannot join it from the booking page. When a booking is cancelled, the time is offered automatically by email to whoever has waited longest for that service, with three hours to confirm — or until the time starts, if sooner — and confirming books them straight in. If nobody confirms, it goes to the next person waiting for that service within about ten minutes, as long as the time is still ahead and still free. More

Four modes, included: 'You Pick' (manual), 'Money Maker' (offers the slot to the highest-priced waiting customer first), 'First in Line', and 'Instant Book', which notifies everyone waiting and books whoever accepts first. Customers add themselves online. Source

Your team can repeat a booking of one service from the calendar — weekly, every two weeks or monthly, up to 52 visits — and cancel one visit or the whole series. A combo or a booking with add-ons cannot be repeated. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. More

Repeat daily, weekly with an interval, monthly or yearly to an end date, editing the series or a single occurrence. The article describes staff creating the series. Service bundles cannot repeat. Source

Minimum notice (up to 72 hours), how far ahead (up to 365 days), start times every 5 to 60 minutes, auto-confirm or your approval, and a cancellation window (up to 168 hours) with late cancellation allowed or not — one set of rules per location. More

Lead time in minutes, hours or days; a booking window from one day to three years ahead; a slot interval; 'Require Acceptance for Online Booking' per employee, per customer type or after a number of no-shows; a block on new customers per employee; cancellation and reschedule cut-offs in hours. Source

Customers reschedule or cancel themselves from the link in their confirmation and reminder emails, or in My Bookings, outside your cancellation window, and can tell you why. A reschedule moves the whole visit in one step to a free time with the same team members and price, and the customer's calendar event moves with it. Inside the window they cannot reschedule online, and can cancel only if you allow late cancellations, once they accept they may be charged. More

'Customers Can Cancel' and 'Customers Can Reschedule', each with how far in advance you allow it, done from the customer app or the listing page, with an optional automatic refund of prepaid appointments. Source

No card on file and no deposits, because Bookodile does not process payments. A no-show is marked on the booking and counted on the customer's record, never charged. You can let customers cancel late once they accept you may charge them; collecting it is up to you. More

A card on file, deposits as a percentage or a fixed amount above a booking value, and automatic cancellation or no-show fees with a cut-off in hours. All of it needs the Online Shopping Cart add-on ($10 a month in the US, $15 in Canada and Australia, free in the UK) and Vagaro's own card processing; the fee is charged at the keyed-in rate. Source

Extras are offered while booking, per service or per category, in up to several rounds, with an optional discount for adding them. A service can be offered only as an extra, off the list of services. More

Add-on categories shown during online booking, set to one add-on or several with a minimum number to pick, 'to suggest additional services'. Membership savings are highlighted at booking. Source

Included in every account, the free one too. Built from your booking setup — services, prices, team, hours and reviews stay in step with it — with templates (switching one keeps every page, or takes a template whole with its texts rewritten for your business from your setup), one page or several in any of them, your own look, extra pages, languages, your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube as icons in the footer, and a photo gallery in categories you name — a category linked to a service opens its photos with that service's price and a Book button — photos made or enhanced with AI, changed by asking in your own words — pointing at any part of it on the preview — or by hand, typing straight onto the page and moving, copying or changing its sections where you see them, on a computer or a phone, and nothing public until you publish. An old website comes over by asking: its pages rebuilt as sections, with their own words and photos. It starts at yourname.bookodile.com; connect a domain you already own, at no cost, and it moves to www.yourbusiness.com. Every Book button opens your booking page at bookodile.com/your-business — the one under each team member with that person already chosen — and a Website visits report counts who came, from where, and how many booked, without cookies. Running promotions, upcoming events and announcements show on it too, and update themselves as they start and end. No blog, no online shop, and no code of your own. More

MySite, Vagaro's website builder and hosting: start from a theme and layout or from scratch, then build each page by dragging components onto it — text, images, video, buttons, and Vagaro components such as Book Now, services, staff, reviews, hours, facility information, gift cards and products, which sync from the Vagaro account and update by themselves. Publish when ready and restore an earlier version. Vagaro AI writes blog posts in the editor; no AI that builds or edits the site from a request in plain words is described. Vagaro's design team will build the site instead, for a one-time fee — $299 in the US on the MySite pricing article, though the MySite FAQ says $499. MySite is an add-on billed monthly on top of the subscription — $20 in the US, $30 in Canada, £15 in the UK, $30 in Australia — and free until you publish. The site lives at mysite.vagaro.com/your-business-name until you buy a domain through Vagaro — renewed every year, at a price the help centre does not give, and not transferable to another provider — or connect one you own with DNS records. Source

Included in every account, the free one too, up to 30 photos a month per account, each try counted. Take a photo on your phone and Enhance it, a team member's or a service's too: in your own words in any language, with ideas for your kind of business, by picking a look from pictures, or by putting a person or finished work into a photo of your own place, with before and after to compare. Create a photo from a description for a place on your website that has none — the top of a page, a service's cover, a card, or your gallery — in your own photo style. Then say what should change, like "remove the hand" or "clear the background", and it edits that photo, keeping every version. AI Chat can make several at once. You choose each one, and nothing is public until you publish. It works on your website's photos: it will not make a person's face, your team's portraits or the outside of your place, because customers should see the real ones. More

Vagaro's Remove Background, an addition to Inventory announced in January 2024, 'uses artificial intelligence to tactfully replace the background of your product photos', at 'zero extra cost' and 'only available for iOS devices at this time'. That is a background changer for product photos: the Vagaro pages read describe no tool that makes a picture from a description or improves a photo's light, and the AI in MySite is described as writing text. Source

No marketplace. Your booking page carries only your business, and no competitor is shown beside you — which also means it sends you no new customers.

A consumer marketplace at vagaro.com and in the Vagaro app, switched on per business with 'List Business on Vagaro.com', which also feeds the Google and Apple Maps listings. Free to be listed in the US, Canada and Australia; a 20% fee on each new customer's first booking in the UK. Source

No consumer app to download. Customers book in the browser. My Bookings, a web page they sign in to with an emailed code or Google, lists every booking they hold with any Bookodile business; there they cancel, keep their details up to date and can turn off a business's SMS. More

The Vagaro app for iOS and Android, where customers find businesses, book, pay and manage their appointments. An account is required. Source

The booking page, the embedded widget and every email about a booking come in 17 languages: English, Slovak, Czech, Vietnamese, German, Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian and Chinese. Each location has a main language — English, Slovak, Czech or Vietnamese — and can add up to seven more, from the same list as its website. With more than one, the booking page shows a language switch and opens in the customer's own language when the location offers it (from the link, their last choice or their browser), otherwise in the main one. Every email and SMS about a booking goes out in the language it was made in; SMS in Ukrainian or Chinese go out in English, because they would not fit one SMS, while their emails and booking page stay in that language. Service names, descriptions, team bios and the location's other texts are translated automatically by AI, and the owner can correct any translation; names are never translated. The booking page's own wording in the 13 languages beyond English, Slovak, Czech and Vietnamese was written by AI and has not yet been read by a native speaker. What your customers read and what you read in the dashboard are separate settings. More

English only, as far as Vagaro publishes: the site has US, British, Canadian and Australian English editions, the help centre lists 'en-us' as its only locale, and no article documents a language setting for the booking page. Slovak, Czech, Vietnamese and German appear nowhere. Source

Every time is shown in the business's own zone, including on your dashboard. A customer in another zone sees both clocks before they confirm. Locations in different zones each keep their own; the group's combined monthly totals count on one clock. Each location writes its times on a 24-hour or a 12-hour clock (2:30 PM) — its country's until you pick one — on the booking page, in emails and SMS, on the website and in the dashboard alike. More

Vagaro publishes no article on a business time-zone setting. The only mention found is on the customer side, where search results show a business's hours 'in your time zone'.

Your own domain, at no cost: connect one you already own and your website moves to www.yourbusiness.com (the website row). The booking page its Book buttons open stays at bookodile.com/your-business, and the widget puts the same booking inside any other site you run, on that site's domain. Your logo, a second logo for dark backgrounds, a logo that links back to your own website, your brand colour with a contrast check, and announcements along the top of your booking page and your website. No custom CSS. More

Logo, photos and team bios on the listing page, which keeps Vagaro's shared design, plus a colour for the widget button. Your own design and domain need the paid website builder; your own app icon and colours, the paid branded app. Custom CSS and removing Vagaro's name are not documented. Source

The hosted page follows the customer's device, and a sun-and-moon button lets them switch; My Bookings keeps the same choice. Your brand colour is adjusted to stay visible on dark. The embedded widget stays light on purpose, so it matches the website it sits in. More

The business dashboard has light, dark and system themes. Nothing is published about a dark mode on the customer-facing booking page.

No Reserve with Google or Instagram integration. Your booking link, bookodile.com/your-business, goes in your Google profile, your bio or a post like any link. Campaign tracking, an included add-on, gives ready-tagged links for Google, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok and counts the bookings each one brings.

Reserve with Google (once out of the trial, with online booking on and a booking in the last 30 days), Apple Maps, an Instagram 'Book' button, a Facebook 'Book Now' button and Yelp. In the UK these are the 'Partner Network' channels that carry the 20% new-customer fee. Source

On from the start, once an automatic check of the business name passes — normally within minutes: your booking page is in the sitemap search engines read, under your business's name, with your own description and address as the snippet, and Bing and others are told when it changes. A published website is listed the same way at its own address, from its first online booking or two weeks after publishing. One switch keeps both out. Search engines still decide what to show and when. More

Vagaro's 'Getting Found on Google' article tells a business to write its description, service descriptions and team bios in the words customers search with, and to earn links to its Vagaro listing page, so that the listing ranks higher on Google. The listing is a profile on Vagaro's marketplace at vagaro.com. The same article offers a MySite website, $20 a month in the US, with a domain of your own. Source

AI Chat, in every account including the free one, with a daily allowance per account. Ask in English, Slovak, Czech or Vietnamese, typed or spoken: it answers how-to questions from this documentation and your own settings, explains why a day has no free times and who changed what; sets up team, services, prices, hours, rooms, booking rules, add-ons, logo and brand colour, and the order of your services and team; writes bios, your about text and service descriptions; builds and changes your website's draft and brings over the words of an old site; and moves, cancels or hands over bookings and blocks time, once or repeating. It shows every change first and waits for you to apply it, with Undo — only texts and the website's draft go in at once, still with Undo, and the website stays private until you publish. It answers you, not your customers, and does not create bookings. More

Vera, Vagaro's AI assistant, answers questions about using Vagaro in a chat inside the business account and the Pro app, and passes the chat to a support agent when it cannot. Vera also writes descriptions, bios, policies and campaign text for every business, turns an uploaded PDF, image or Word file into a form (Forms add-on), and as Vera Receptionist answers customers' chats and texts and, in chat, books, reschedules and cancels for them — $10 a month in the US, free for a limited time in Canada, the UK and Australia. Switched on, Vera Fill My Books has Vera create Daily Deals at the discount the business sets and send marketing emails and push notifications, for a fee on each booking it brings. No article describes Vera changing the business's own services, settings or bookings when asked. Source

Day, week and month. Drag a booking to a new time or a different person — the calendar names any clash first, and Undo puts it back for ten seconds after. Block out time for the business, one person or a resource — once, or repeating every day, on chosen weekdays, every two weeks or every month. Add a walk-in; filter by person, service or resource. A visit with several services moves as one — dragged, or from the booking dialog, which shows the times that fit everyone first and still takes any other day and time, listing what it clashes with. More

Day, week, month and agenda views, up to ten calendars side by side in week and month view on a computer, a resource view, blocked time and a colour per person; a redesign in March 2026 added real-time updates and themes. Drag to move is not described in the articles read. Source

No native app. The dashboard is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen and works there, online. No push notifications: the team is told about bookings by email. More

Vagaro Pro for iOS and Android runs the calendar, checkout and most settings; a few things, such as creating the booking widget, need the web or tablet version. Source

Up to 50 locations in one account — a guard against misuse, raised on request — each with its own team, hours, services and booking page. A new location can start from one you have — its services with prices, hours, booking rules, logo and colours and website — and takes the team members you pick. Customers are one list across them, a team member can work at several with one sign-in, and a group dashboard totals them. The free plan covers one location; each location is billed at a base rate. More

Multi-location accounts with a 'flagship' whose settings and prices sync to the others, fields locked or unlocked per location, multi-location admin permissions and a multi-location booking widget. The price is 'Contact Sales'; the branded app adds $10 a month per location. Source

Owner, Manager, Employee and Receptionist ready-made, or build a role and set each permission by hand — including whether someone sees only their own bookings, customers and figures, takes bookings at all, can message customers, or manages billing, which only the owner can give. More

'Vagaro provides five pre-configured access levels that you can change … or you can create new ones', with View and Modify toggles per feature and sub-feature. The owner always has full access. Source

Activity records changes to bookings, customers, services, resources, the team, time off, blocked time and settings: what changed from what to what, who did it — a team member by name, the customer, or automatic — how and when. Each role sees the history of what it can open, a booking's own history sits in the booking window with what the customer was sent, and it exports to CSV. Kept 24 months, in every account. Not recorded: what a role may do, prices set per team member or category, payment records, billing and add-on records such as vouchers; a note shows as edited, never its words. More

A change log at the bottom of 21 settings screens — among them customer profiles, employee profiles, service settings, online appointment rules, notifications, the business profile and billing — names who added, changed or deleted what and when, searchable by setting, employee and date, on every account. Each appointment also has a timeline of who booked and edited it and the emails and texts the customer was sent. Changes before 17 August 2023 are not logged, and Vagaro documents the log screen by screen, not as one combined list. Source

Revenue, bookings, average value and cancellation rate over the last twelve months, charted month by month, with bookings by status, new customers, top services and the team ranked by revenue; per location or across all. A no-show counts as a booking, never as revenue. Website visits shows who came to your website, from where, and how many booked. Forecasting, revenue split, booking sources and payments received are included add-ons. The period is fixed at twelve months. More

Sales trends and combined sales, sales by category, product or brand, transactions, the customer list, booking source by channel, rebooking performance, booking percentage, cancellations and no-shows, review management, payroll, time cards, time off, rent collection, inventory and check-in logs, exported to Excel or PDF. The Data Lake add-on ($40 a month) opens a Power BI template with over 50 reports. The list has no revenue forecast. Source

A monthly competition on bookings or revenue that the whole team sees, with a winner per category if you want one, results frozen and emailed on the 1st, and a Hall of fame. Revenue amounts stay hidden from the team unless you show them. Up to three at once, per location. An included add-on. More

The reports page offers a comparison of activity across the team, to identify top performers and make staffing decisions. Whether team members can open it is not published, and no leaderboard, competition or goal for the team is documented. Source

No point of sale, no stock, no payroll — a walk-in is a booking. The included payment-tracking add-on records what each visit was paid, by cash, card or transfer, with part-payments and tips shared between the people who did the work, and Revenue split works out each team member's share at the percentage you set, month by month. More

PayPro terminals ($150 to $800 in the US), a cash drawer and a printer; inventory with purchase orders, barcode scanning and partial-use tracking; payroll at $34 a month plus $5 per employee, US only; commission tiers and rent collection; QuickBooks and Xero at $10 a month each in the US. Source

Confirmations, a reminder the day before at 8:00, two hours before or both — your choice — changes, cancellations and follow-ups by email, all included, in the language the customer booked in. By SMS too with the SMS messages add-on: the add-on is free, and SMS need a paid plan — billed monthly with it, per SMS, capped each month. SMS reach numbers in 14 countries today; Czechia, the US and Canada are coming soon. More

Automatic confirmations and reminders by email, text and push, one of each per appointment, with configurable timing — the pricing page says 'Unlimited notifications & appointment reminders' and 1,000 free emails a month. Re-sending or custom messages need the email or text marketing add-ons. Source

Messages, in every account: write to one customer from the calendar or their page by email, SMS or both, and read their answer in one inbox, with unread ones marked and the team told by email. Email is included; SMS need the SMS messages add-on on a paid plan, billed per SMS — Czech, US and Canadian numbers coming soon. The customer answers on a page the message links to, not by replying to the email or text, and cannot start a conversation. No WhatsApp. More

Connect by Vagaro, in the web app and its own phone app, gives the business a texting number: staff write to one customer and the replies come back into the same chat. Without a Text Messaging plan it works only in a chat the customer starts from the listing page, or while they are on vagaro.com or in the Vagaro app; anything the business starts goes out as a text and needs the plan — from $20 a month for 1,000 credits in the US — and every message sent or received uses a credit. Source

No bulk email or SMS campaigns. Included add-ons instead: a win-back sequence of up to three emails to customers overdue for a visit, judged by their own usual gap, never to anyone with a booking ahead and starting over after their next visit, the later ones with a one-time discount code; promotions and announcements on your booking page and your website, an announcement optionally kept on the booking page for customers who have booked before; and Campaign tracking, which shows which ads and links bring bookings. More

Email campaigns are free to 1,000 emails a month, then $10 (5,000) to $90 (100,000) a month in the US; text campaigns run on credits from $20 a month (1,000 credits, US) up to $2,500. Fill My Books and Daily Deals are AI-run promotions paid per booking: 20% of a new customer's first booking, 5% of an existing customer's. Source

Collect a rating and comment after each visit, publish them on your booking page and website when you choose — all of them, never hand-picked — reply in public or privately, and ask every customer, not only the happy ones, for a Google review in the same email. More

Reviews are collected from customers and shown on the listing page and in the marketplace, optionally only from verified customers; the business replies in public from the Review Management report and can award points for a review. No article describes asking for a Google review. Source

Gift vouchers, discount codes, promotions and upsell discounts, all included. No packages or memberships, and vouchers are issued by you rather than sold online. More

Digital and physical gift cards (sold online only with card processing and the shopping cart), discounts and promo codes online and in-house, packages that auto-renew, memberships with autopay, loyalty points and Daily Deals. Source

Bookings are pushed into one Google Calendar per location as they are made, moved or cancelled. One direction only — Google events do not block your availability — not one calendar per team member, and no Outlook sync. Customers can add their own booking to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar. More

Google Calendar only, in either or both directions, one Google account per business: 'Vagaro currently supports calendar syncing only with Google Calendar'. Older Outlook and Apple links cannot be reconnected. An iCal export exists. Source

A consent checkbox in your own wording, with a link to your privacy policy — each customer's agreement is recorded with the date and the wording they saw — invoice details that can be optional or required, and a notes field. No custom intake forms or questions, and no e-signatures. More

The Forms add-on — $10 a month in the US, $15 in Canada and Australia, £10 in the UK — for consent, waivers, intake and surveys with digital signatures, which can be required for specific bookings. Source

Export bookings, customers and the activity log to CSV whenever you like. No import tool yet — customers from another tool are added one at a time or as they book — and no public API. More

The customer list exports to Excel or PDF, by the owner only, and every report exports the same way. Importing from another system is free and done by Vagaro's staff in a booked session. An API with webhooks costs from $10 a month, needs card processing and allows ten webhooks. Source

Email support, included, with the documentation at bookodile.com/docs behind it, and AI Chat in the dashboard, which answers how-to questions from that documentation and from your own settings. A new business is walked through its setup in AI Chat right after signing up — its services, texts and website — at no cost. No phone line, and no chat with a person. More

Phone lines in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, email, and in-app chat through the Vera assistant with a 'Chat with Human' option; free workshops, videos and data migration. One-to-one training is $100 in the US. Source
