How much does Vagaro cost per month in the UK?
Vagaro prices the software by the number of bookable calendars a business needs, starting at £20 a month for one.
Vagaro offers a 30 day free trial, but the trial excludes three things: email marketing, text marketing and the branded app. Cancellation is stated plainly: you can cancel your subscription at any time, for any reason, with no fee. Revyfy works the same way, with no contract and no cancellation fee, and a 14 day trial that includes every feature, marketing included, from day one. Separately, Vagaro offers a free card reader to businesses that sign up for Vagaro Merchant Services; that offer requires 12 months of processing through Vagaro Merchant Services, or a £100 early cancellation fee applies. That condition sits on the hardware offer, not on the software subscription itself.
How Vagaro's price changes as you add staff
The price rises in £10 steps as bookable calendars are added, capped at £80 a month once a business reaches 7 or more. Revyfy does not move at all: it is £39.99 a month at every one of these staff counts.
| Bookable calendars | Vagaro | Revyfy |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | £20/month | £39.99/month, unlimited staff, marketing campaigns included |
| 2 | £30/month | £39.99/month, no per-calendar charge |
| 3 | £40/month | £39.99/month, no 20% marketplace fee |
| 7 or more | £80/month | £39.99/month |
At 3 bookable calendars Vagaro's subscription is £40 a month, and the bill does not stop there: add forms, text marketing and new-client fees and a 3-chair salon pays about £137 a month, against Revyfy's £39.99 flat. It also gets worse as the team grows: Vagaro's price keeps climbing £10 for every calendar added, up to £80 a month for 7 or more, while Revyfy's £39.99 does not move again.
What Vagaro's add-ons cost
Vagaro's add-ons are priced separately: text marketing from £15 a month, email marketing free to start, forms at £10 a month, Vagaro MySite at £15 a month, the branded app at £50 a month, Check-In App at £10 a month, Live Stream at £10 a month, Vagaro Drive from £10 a month, QuickBooks integration at £25 a month, Data Lake at £40 a month, and Fill My Books with fees applying. Email marketing, text marketing and the branded app are excluded from the 30 day free trial, so a salon wanting those pays the listed price once the trial ends.
Revyfy has one paid add-on, Revy AI, at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free and included. Everything else, online booking, the diary, POS, client records, email and SMS marketing, custom forms and multi-location, is part of the £39.99 flat price with nothing held back for a higher tier.
Does Vagaro take a percentage of bookings?
Not on every booking: Vagaro takes a one-time 20% fee only on a new client's first booking through its Marketplace. Vagaro's own page states: "when a new client discovers and books your business through the Vagaro Marketplace, a one-time 20% fee applies to the first appointment." That fee is one-time, tied to a new client's first Marketplace booking, and is separate from the monthly subscription described above.
Repeat visits from the same client, and any booking that does not come through the Vagaro Marketplace, are not described as carrying that fee. On Revyfy there is no commission of any kind, on any booking, from any channel.
Card processing on Vagaro
Card processing fees apply on any platform, Vagaro included, and sit on top of the monthly price. Revyfy's £39.99 stays one number.
What a 3-chair salon pays: Vagaro vs Revyfy
Take a 3-chair salon on Vagaro's row for 3 bookable calendars, with forms, text marketing and eight new marketplace clients a month. It pays about £137 a month. The same salon pays £39.99 on Revyfy, with forms and marketing campaigns included.
| 3-chair salon, per month | Vagaro | Revyfy |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription (3 bookable calendars) | £40 | £39.99 flat, unlimited staff |
| Forms add-on | £10 | Included |
| Text marketing add-on | £15 | Marketing campaigns included |
| New-client fees (8 x 20% of a £45 first visit) | £72 | £0, zero commission |
| Total | about £137 | £39.99 |
A 3-staff salon with forms and text marketing (£40 + £10 + £15) plus eight new Marketplace clients at a £45 first visit (8 x £9 = £72) pays about £137 a month. Revyfy's £39.99 already includes forms and marketing campaigns, and texts run on pay-as-you-go credit, so you buy only what you send, with no plan tier to move up to.
What the table does not show is what happens next. If that same salon grows to 7 or more bookable calendars, Vagaro's price rises to £80 a month while Revyfy's stays at £39.99. Every new client who books through the Vagaro Marketplace brings the one-time 20% first-appointment fee described above, on top of the subscription, which is already in the £137. Revyfy's price does not carry either of those variables: it is one number, unlimited staff, zero commission, whether the salon has 1 chair or 10.
The flat-price alternative: Revyfy
Revyfy is £39.99 a month, flat, for unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking. The price includes online booking on your own branded page, the diary, POS, client records with notes and consent forms, reminders, email and SMS marketing, custom forms, and rooms and equipment booking. Revy AI, the assistant that answers questions about the business and helps manage clients, is available as an add-on at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free.
Whether the business is a single chair or a team of ten, the price stays £39.99. There is no per-calendar charge to track as staff join, and no percentage taken from any booking, whether the client found the salon last week or has been coming for years.
During your 14-day free trial, the Revyfy team moves your data over from Vagaro: staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock all come across, so you are not starting from a blank system. No card is needed to start the trial.
