Slick pricing in the UK, explained

Last updated: 23 October 2026 · By the Revyfy team

A 3-chair salon pays Slick £60 to £94.80 a month with VAT, and every stylist you add puts another £14 to £21 plus VAT on the bill; Revyfy is £39.99 flat, unlimited staff, no VAT added. Slick prices per bookable staff column, so the bill rises with each hire, and card payments carry VAT on top of every subscription. Revyfy is £39.99 a month flat, whatever your team size.

How much does Slick cost per month in the UK?

Slick costs a 3-chair salon £60 to £94.80 a month with VAT, depending on the plan. Slick has three plans, each priced per bookable staff column, ex VAT, on a monthly rolling basis. Essential is £22 a month plus £14 for each extra column. Advanced is £37 a month plus £21 for each extra column. Supercharged is £250 a month for unlimited columns and is aimed at salons with 10 or more staff.

With 20% VAT, Essential for 3 chairs is £60 a month and Advanced is £94.80. Revyfy has no VAT added: £39.99 is the bill.

How Slick's per-column pricing works

Slick's bill grows with every bookable staff column you add. One column is one person whose diary clients can book, so a stylist, a barber and a nail technician are three columns. The first column is included in the plan price, and each further column costs £14 plus VAT on Essential or £21 plus VAT on Advanced.

That makes the cost easy to predict for a fixed team and expensive for a growing one. Six chairs cost £92 a month on Essential (£22 + 5 x £14), which is £110.40 with VAT, and £142 on Advanced (£37 + 5 x £21), which is £170.40 with VAT. At 10 or more chairs, Supercharged is £250, which is £300 with VAT. Slick also says its preferential commercial terms trigger a contract, so the monthly rolling price is not the only option on offer. Revyfy has no columns: unlimited staff, one price, no contract.

What is included in Essential, Advanced and Supercharged

Each Slick plan differs mainly in marketing allowance, column price and payments features. Unlimited SMS reminders come with every plan. Essential includes 50 marketing SMS, and SMS appointment confirmations are an add-on at £6 plus VAT per column. Advanced includes 500 marketing SMS and chair-renter split payments. Supercharged includes 2,000 marketing SMS.

Revyfy has one plan at £39.99 a month. Online booking, the diary, POS, client records, reminders, consent forms and email and SMS marketing campaigns all sit on it from day one, with SMS campaign credits pay-as-you-go. There is no entry tier to outgrow and no add-on to switch on per column.

What are Slick's card fees and hardware costs?

Slick charges 1.29% plus VAT on in-person card payments, 1.29% + 15p on Tap to Pay, and 2.17% + 27p plus VAT online. Its card reader costs £179 plus VAT. Those fees sit on top of the subscription, and the VAT on them is an extra cost for any salon that cannot reclaim it.

Revyfy takes zero commission on any booking. Card processing applies on both platforms, as it does everywhere, but the software price does not change with how much you take.

What does a 3-chair salon pay: Slick vs Revyfy?

A 3-chair salon pays Slick £60 to £94.80 a month with VAT, against £39.99 flat on Revyfy. The Essential figure reaches £81.60 once SMS appointment confirmations are added at £6 plus VAT per column.

Over a year, a 3-chair salon on Slick Essential pays £720 with VAT, and on Advanced £1,137.60. On Revyfy the same year is £479.88. Every new stylist widens that gap.
