How we built this list
Booking that fills gaps
Online booking and reminders that turn open slots into appointments.
Intake before the first session
Health intake forms before a first massage, included in the plan or paid extra.
Payments
Card rates, deposits and no-show fees decide what you keep from each booking.
Pricing as you hire
Per-therapist, per-calendar and per-location pricing scale very differently as the team grows.
The shortlist
We make Workee, so it is listed first and marked as ours. The others are in no particular order, and every price is quoted from the vendor’s own pricing page, accessed 18 October 2026.
Workee (our product)
Booking on your own website with no client account. Jenny, an AI front desk, confirms, rebooks and wins back clients by text and email. Also lead forms, email and SMS campaigns, deposits and no-show fees. Runs alongside your current system, or replaces it and imports your client list; quoted per clinic, no contracts.
Vagaro
A low-entry, heavily-metered platform priced per calendar. Entry price: $23.99/mo introductory rate for the first 6 months (then $30/mo), includes 1 bookable calendar. Strongest when: you need a full clinical crm in one system.
Fresha
A marketplace-led platform that charges commission on new clients. Entry price: Independent - $19.95/mo, one bookable team member. Strongest when: you need new clients more than you need better operations.
Square Appointments
A free-tier booking and POS product with no clinical layer. Free tier: Square Free - $0/mo per location, unlimited staff calendars, single location. Strongest when: you are not a clinical practice and budget is the constraint.
Mangomint
A single-plan platform with unusually transparent pricing. Entry price: $120/mo per location + $10 per user (single plan since 1 Aug 2026). Strongest when: you want to know the whole bill before you talk to anyone.
GlossGenius
A beauty-first platform with a separate medspa tier. Beauty entry: Standard - $28/mo ($24 billed annually). Strongest when: you want charting without an enterprise contract.
Side by side what each one publishes
Workee is not in the table: it does not publish a rate card, and pricing is quoted per clinic with no contracts.
