GlossGenius starts at $28/mo. Memberships, packages, gift cards, SOAP notes, and marketing are listed. Forms and waivers sit on Gold and above. Payroll is an add-on. The note has annual prices for the tiers. No contracts are stated for multi-location, with a 14-day trial.

Square Appointments starts at $0/mo per location. Online booking is listed. Memberships, gift cards, charting, payroll, and marketing are blank here. Plus and Premium are in the price note if the free plan is too thin.

Square’s contract terms are not in the sheet. GlossGenius does publish a no-contract line, scoped to multi-location.

Stay on Square’s free plan if you want a calendar inside the payments tool you already use and you do not need the rows this sheet only shows on GlossGenius. Move up a GlossGenius tier, or off Square, when the feature you want is printed on a paid plan. Confirm anything this sheet leaves blank before you treat it as missing.
