Vagaro charges $30–$90+/month based on staff count, with gift cards, loyalty, and email as additional add-ons. Shopolo includes all of these in one flat plan from $29/month — no per-staff pricing, no feature add-ons.
Vagaro pricing based on publicly available plan pages. Add-on costs not included in base figures. Subject to change.
Vagaro charges based on the number of bookable staff — $30/mo for one person, $60/mo for 5, $90/mo for 10+. Add gift cards, loyalty, and marketing emails as separate line items and the bill grows further. Shopolo charges a flat $29/mo regardless of staff count, with all features included. For a growing team, that difference compounds quickly.
Vagaro lists your business on their consumer marketplace, which can help with local discovery. The trade-off: your clients are interacting with Vagaro's brand, not yours, and Vagaro can promote competitors in the same search results. Shopolo gives you a branded storefront link you share directly — every visit is to your business.
If your salon or spa also sells products, Shopolo's commission-free online ordering lets customers order from the same storefront where they book. Vagaro is built exclusively around the appointment booking model. For businesses that want to sell both services and products, Shopolo covers both.
Vagaro is a strong choice if local marketplace discovery matters to your business — clients actively search Vagaro to find salons and spas nearby, and a well-rated listing can drive new bookings. If you're an established salon with a loyal client base that books via your own link or Instagram profile, the marketplace adds less value. Shopolo's flat pricing and included features make it the more cost-effective choice as your team grows.
