At three bookable staff, Vagaro's subscription is £40, and with forms, text marketing and eight new marketplace clients the same salon pays about £137, against Revyfy's £39.99. The gap widens as a business grows: Vagaro's price keeps rising to £80 a month at seven or more staff, its Marketplace carries a one-time 20% fee on each new client's first appointment, and email marketing, text marketing and the branded app are excluded from the trial and priced separately (text marketing from £15/mo, forms £10/mo, MySite £15/mo, branded app £50/mo). A 3-staff salon adding forms and text marketing (£40 + £10 + £15) plus eight new marketplace clients at a £45 first visit (8 x £9 = £72) pays £137, against Revyfy's £39.99 with forms and marketing campaigns included. Revyfy's £39.99 does not move, and your booking page is your own, not a shared marketplace listing. Card processing applies on both platforms, as it does everywhere.

The detail

Where the models pull apart.

Pricing

Vagaro prices per bookable calendar: £20 a month for one, up to £80 a month once a team reaches seven or more. Revyfy charges £39.99 flat whatever the size of the team. At three staff with forms, text marketing and eight new marketplace clients, Vagaro comes to about £137 against Revyfy's £39.99, and the gap widens from there.

Add-ons

Vagaro's 30-day trial excludes email marketing, text marketing and the branded app, so those are bought separately once a business commits. Text marketing is from £15 a month, email marketing free to start, forms at £10 a month and the branded app at £50 a month. Revyfy's £39.99 flat already includes the email and SMS marketing campaigns, the custom forms and your own branded booking page, so there is no module to buy before you can use them. Text messages run on pay-as-you-go credit, so you buy only the texts you send, with no plan tier to move up to.

Getting booked

New clients can find a business through the Vagaro Marketplace, and each one that books a first appointment there carries a one-time 20% fee. With Revyfy, clients book on your own branded page at your own link, from your Instagram bio or Google profile, with zero commission.

Terms

Vagaro states its subscription can be cancelled at any time, for any reason, no fee. Revyfy works the same way: no contract, cancel anytime.

AI assistant

Vagaro lists no AI assistant. Revyfy's Revy AI is an optional add-on at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free and included.

The real choice

A listing in their marketplace, or a shopfront of your own.

What the marketplace gives you

The Vagaro Marketplace gives you a listing where people search for nearby businesses, with a one-time fee on each new client it sends. What it cannot give you is a shopfront of your own: your listing sits in their marketplace, next to your competitors, and the price rises as your own team grows.

What your own page gives you

A branded booking link that is yours from day one, shared from Instagram, Google and word of mouth. Whether you are just you and a chair or a team of seven, the price stays £39.99, no fee ever comes out of a booking, and every client you win stays yours. Growth costs nothing extra.
