DaySmart Salon, whose family now also includes Slick salon software, sells tiered plans by user count. Basic costs $29 a month for one user and already covers online booking, appointment confirmations and reminders, Instagram and Facebook booking, integrated payments, online deposits, a kiosk and a walk-in manager, with 500 texts and 1,000 emails a month. Deluxe at $69 adds three users, online gift cards, digital forms, a client loyalty system, basic payroll and email marketing. Deluxe Growth at $149 brings text marketing, two-way texting and reputation management, and Premium at $199 raises the limit to six users and adds QuickBooks Connect. Email, chat and phone support plus unlimited training come with every plan, and data migration is free. The weak spot is scaling: user caps push teams up the ladder quickly, and commission tracking and unlimited users sit on a quote-only Premium Growth plan.

Who it is for

Small salons and solo pros on a budget that want online deposits and a clear upgrade path.
