Questions pros ask before leaving Setmore

Setmore Pro is $12. Why pay $19?

Setmore Pro gives you a calendar, reminders and payments. StyleSeat includes all of that, and sends you new clients from 2M+ people searching, rebooks them automatically and answers for you with Sage AI. Most pros earn the $7 difference back on the first new booking.

I'm not a hairstylist. Is StyleSeat for me?

Yes. Nail techs, estheticians, massage therapists, barbers, lash artists, trainers and more run their businesses on StyleSeat.

Will my existing clients have to re-register?

No. Import your list and send your link; clients book in two taps, no account required.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fee.

How much does Setmore cost per month?

Setmore Pro is $12 per user a month for online booking, reminders and payments. Setmore Free is $0 but limits you to 200 appointments a month and puts Setmore branding on your page. StyleSeat is $19 a month after a free trial, with marketing, rebooking and Sage AI included.

Is StyleSeat cheaper than Setmore?

No, and it is not meant to be. Setmore Pro is $7 a month less for a calendar. StyleSeat costs $19 because it also sends you new clients, rebooks them and runs your marketing. On cards, StyleSeat charges $0 in trial, then 1.9% + 30¢ for six months, then 2.5% + 30¢.

What does Setmore do better?

Setmore is a general-purpose scheduler: it works for tutors, clinics and consultants as well as beauty pros, integrates with Zoom and Google Calendar, and is cheap per user for teams. If you want clients found for you, not just scheduled, StyleSeat fits better.

Stop renting a calendar. Start filling one.
