How we compiled this
Pricing re-verified 2026-06-15 by fetching each vendor's official pricing page via WebFetch (glossgenius.com/pricing, mangomint.com/pricing, joinblvd.com/pricing, biz.booksy.com/en-us/pricing, squareup.com/us/en/appointments/pricing, fresha.com/pricing, vagaro.com/pro/pricing, phorest.com/pricing, zenoti.com/pricing). GlossGenius, Mangomint, Boulevard, Booksy: exact monthly prices confirmed directly on the official pages. Square Appointments: official page renders prices via dynamic placeholders not present in HTML, so Free $0 / Plus $29 / Premium $69 per location were corroborated via schedulingkit.com (live, verified 2026-04-25); one competing source (koalendar) cites $49/$149, treated as an older tier. Vagaro: official US pricing page geo-redirects to a UK version with no USD figures, so $30 base / $10 per additional calendar / $90 cap were corroborated via koalendar.com and glossgenius.com/blog (both live). Fresha: official page serves EUR (€12.95 Individual, €8.95/member Team) and US-localised USD prices could NOT be confirmed on the official page; $19.95 / $14.95 are widely reported by third-party aggregators (costbench, schedulingkit, pabau) but every one explicitly flags them as 'approximately' / 'unverified against fresha.com/pricing' — treated as third-party estimates, provenance downgraded. Quote-only vendors (Phorest, Zenoti) confirmed to publish NO prices on their pricing pages; all plans monthlyUsd null. Boulevard prices reflect a current new-customer promo (standard rates noted). Schedulicity was acquired by Vagaro (Jan 2025) and its domain redirects to Vagaro; not listed. accessedAt 2026-06-15.
