Why med spas look past GlossGenius
Each point below is taken from GlossGenius’s own pricing page, accessed 18 October 2026.1
Medspa features sit on a higher tier
EMR tools come with the medspa line: Practice Essentials is $168/mo ($148 billed annually) and Practice Advanced, with unlimited providers, is $298/mo ($248 billed annually).
Each location pays full price
Plans are billed per month per business location, so a second clinic pays the plan price again, less 15%.
No ePrescribe
GlossGenius includes charting with medical director sign-off, but does not offer prescribing; payroll is a separate $40/mo plus $6 per seat.
GlossGenius alternatives, side by side
Sources for every price are at the foot of the page. Workee does not publish a rate card: pricing is quoted per clinic, with no contracts. Each card opens the full side-by-side comparison.

Stay with GlossGenius if these describe you
These are real reasons to keep GlossGenius. If two or more describe your practice, it is probably still the right system, and Workee can run alongside it rather than replace it.
You want charting without an enterprise contract
The medspa tiers put EMR-style charting, photo management, consent and free medical director sign-off behind a published $168 or $298 price. Most platforms with that depth make you book a demo first.
You want the card rate on the same page as the plan price
GlossGenius publishes 2.4% + 15c for in-person payments and 2.9% + 30c for online invoices, with no Tap to Pay fee, next to the plan prices. You can total subscription and processing before you talk to anyone.
You value a clean client-facing experience
Booking, deposits, memberships, packages, before-and-after photos and SOAP notes all live in one client profile.

GlossGenius alternatives: common questions
- What is the best GlossGenius alternative for a med spa?
If your calendar is the problem, Workee adds booking on your own website and automated follow-up and can run next to GlossGenius. If you need ePrescribe in the same system, Vagaro offers it through ScriptSure. If you want one published plan with charting included, Mangomint. If GlossGenius’ published card rate and clean client experience matter most, it is still a good fit. - Can I keep GlossGenius and use Workee as well?Yes. Workee takes bookings on your own website and passes them to the calendar you already run, and Jenny follows up with clients by text and email, so GlossGenius keeps handling the rest. If you later move fully, Workee has its own calendar, payments and client records, and imports your client list from a spreadsheet.
- How do I export my data from GlossGenius?Our guide at workee.ai/migrate/from-glossgenius covers it step by step. Only the Account Owner can export the client list, as a CSV from a web browser, and reports stop being available once the account is cancelled, so export before you cancel.
- Is Workee cheaper than GlossGenius?We cannot say from a web page. Workee does not publish a rate card: pricing is quoted per clinic, with no contracts. Get a Workee quote for your setup and compare it with the GlossGenius tier and location count you run.
