Square Appointments’s starting price on this sheet is $0/mo per location. Plus, Premium, and a custom Pro tier tied to processing volume are in the note. Vagaro starts at $30/mo for one calendar.
Our sheet lists online booking for Square and leaves memberships, gift cards, charting, payroll, and marketing blank. Those blanks are not a review. They are what this dataset recorded. Vagaro lists those items. If you need the features Vagaro prints, the free Square plan is not a substitute until you confirm Square sells them.
Square’s contract cell is empty. Vagaro states cancel anytime and no cancellation fees.
This sheet does not include a Square card rate. If you already process on Square, you know your rate. Put that next to Vagaro’s subscription. The software price is the only number this page will print for Square.
