Revyfy vs Slick.
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 charges per column, so the bill grows with every stylist, SMS appointment confirmations cost extra on the entry plan, and card fees carry VAT too. Revyfy is zero commission, and the same price whether you have 3 chairs or 30.

A bill that grows with every column, or a price that stays put.
What a per-column bill gives you
Slick's per-column bill starts low and rises with every stylist, so growing the team costs more each time. Add VAT to every line and a 6-chair salon is at £110.40 to £170.40 a month before a single card payment.
What a flat price gives you
One number, £39.99 a month, whether you have 3 chairs or 30. No VAT added, no columns to count and no SMS add-on to switch on, so a new hire changes the rota and nothing else.
