GlossGenius locks everyone into a flat 2.6% fee—no matter how much you process. But with StyleSeat, your fees can drop as low as 2.2%, giving you meaningful savings as your business grows! For card-present transactions it's 2.2%–2.5% + $0.30 (like Tap to Pay or card reader) and for card-on-file or AutoCheckout payments it's 2.2%–2.6% + $0.30.

Templates + smart insights that improve results over time
So your business stays visible and booked even when you’re fully behind the chair.

StyleSeat has the more advanced marketing tools overall.Both platforms offer email and SMS marketing, but StyleSeat goes further by providing a full AI-powered Marketing Suite that runs multi-channel marketing automatically. With StyleSeat, pros get AI-generated and scheduled campaigns across email, SMS/text, and social, plus automated rebooking and retention flows — so marketing happens even when you’re busy with clients. A key difference is StyleSeat’s AI Social Post Builder, which turns your real business data (availability, reviews, promos, services) into ready-to-publish, on-brand social posts in seconds. GlossGenius does not have an AI social post builder or an equivalent social-content automation feature, focusing instead on manual campaigns. So if you want the most advanced, automated, and multi-channel marketing built into your business platform while still having the ability to fully customize, StyleSeat is the stronger choice.
