BOOKSY VS VAGARO RUN THE WHOLE SALON FROM ONE PLACE
Comparing Booksy vs Vagaro? Both give you a booking app and a marketplace, but neither gives you a real website you own that wins new clients. Instinctor is the all-in-one third option: a site that ranks on Google, plus booking and payments, at a one-time $99 to build and $44.80 a month to run. We design it for you, $99.
MORE CLIENTS. MORE MONEY. LESS HASSLE
WHAT BOOKSY AND VAGARO BOTH MISS
No website you own. Booksy is a marketplace app, and Vagaro sells a branded MySite as a paid add-on. Neither gives you a real website that ranks on Google and turns searchers into booked clients. Instinctor is built around that website.
The bill climbs per chair. Booksy is $29.99 a month plus $20 for every staff member. Vagaro starts around $30 and adds $10 per person, plus paid add-ons for your website and texts. Instinctor is a one-time $99 to build, then $29.90 a month license and $14.90 a month hosting, everyone included.
They rent you your own clients. Both push clients into their marketplace and take processing fees on every booking. With Instinctor your client list and your site are yours, with no marketplace in the middle.
