Does GlossGenius have a medspa plan?

Yes. Practice Essentials is $168 a month ($148 billed annually) with EMR tools, and Practice Advanced is $298 ($248 billed annually) with unlimited providers. Each additional location pays the plan price less 15%.

Which one offers ePrescribe?

Vagaro does, through ScriptSure, at $40 a month per doctor plus $5 per medical assistant. GlossGenius does not offer ePrescribe.

How do the card processing rates compare?

Vagaro charges 2.6% + 10c under $4,000 a month in volume, and 2.29% + 19c above that plus a $10 monthly merchant fee. GlossGenius charges 2.4% + 15c in person and 2.9% + 30c for online invoices, with no Tap to Pay fee.

Can I keep Vagaro or GlossGenius and add Workee?

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 Vagaro or 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.

Choose Vagaro if these describe you

Vagaro is a low-entry, heavily-metered platform priced per calendar.

You need a full clinical CRM in one system

EMR-style charting, SOAP notes, before-and-after comparison, e-forms and true ePrescribe through ScriptSure, all inside the same platform that books the appointment. Among mainstream salon platforms a real prescribing path is rare, and it makes Vagaro a serious option for injectables and weight-loss practices.

You have a large team in one location

Billing stops at seven paid calendars and every staff member after that is free. A 25-provider location pays the same base as a 7-provider one. Very few competitors do this.

You want one vendor for everything

Payroll, website builder, branded app, shopping cart, check-in kiosk, accounting integrations and a consumer marketplace are all first-party.

Choose GlossGenius if these describe you

GlossGenius is a beauty-first platform with a separate medspa tier.

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.

What leaving each one involves

Leaving Vagaro

Only the business owner can export the customer list, to PDF or Excel. Reports are exported one at a time. Notes and form responses come out per customer; no bulk export of photos is described. Vagaro publishes no deletion date for a cancelled account.

Leaving GlossGenius

The Account Owner exports the client list as CSV in a web browser, with five fields: name, email, phone, date of birth and banned. Notes come from Support on request. Forms cannot be downloaded and photos download one at a time. Reports are unavailable once the account is cancelled, so export first.

Where Workee fits with either one

Workee is not in this table. It puts booking on your own website and passes appointments to the calendar you already run, with Jenny, an AI front desk that confirms each booking, follows up after visits to rebook, recovers abandoned bookings and wins back clients who have gone quiet, by text and email. It runs alongside Vagaro or GlossGenius, or replaces either.
