How Vagaro pricing works
Vagaro charges by bookable calendar. The pricing page lets you pick from Just Me up to 7+ and says each calendar license you add costs $10, up to seven. After seven licenses you can add more employees at no extra cost. It offers a 30-day free trial and no cancellation fees.
What Vagaro includes that Citalu does not
Vagaro is a wider system. Its plan lists inventory tracking, memberships, packages, gift certificates, loyalty programs, SOAP notes, invoices, card payments and a free listing on the Vagaro Marketplace. If you run those processes in one place, it may suit you better. Citalu does not have inventory, gift cards or a marketplace.
What Citalu includes
Every plan has a booking page with a link and QR code, deposits reviewed with a payment receipt, Google Calendar, email reminders and reports. Estudio adds 150 WhatsApp reminders a month with a button to confirm, and Salón brings 300. From Estudio you also get CITU, a WhatsApp assistant that sends you the day's appointments each morning. Citalu takes no commission on your clients or deposits.
When the price difference matters
The gap grows with your team, because Vagaro adds $10 per calendar and Citalu has one price up to 5 people. At 7 calendars Vagaro reaches $83.99 during its first-6-months rate, and Citalu Salón stays at $24.99 with no staff limit.
