How much does software for a beauty salon cost?
The cost of beauty salon software depends on four factors: the number of stylists, the active modules, the implementation cost and the support. With 4beautify the subscription is per salon, not per stylist: it starts at €1 a month and grows with the plan; a locally installed solution costs more upfront and requires your own maintenance.
Short answer
- With 4beautify the subscription is billed per salon, not per stylist, and starts at €1 a month, hosting included.
- The price grows with the plan you pick — how many users it includes and which modules it activates (commissions, POS with stock, packages, vouchers, loyalty) — not with the number of stylists.
- A salon of up to 3 people fits the entry plan, at €1 a month; up to 10 users costs €5 a month.
- With some solutions, extra modules (stock, vouchers, loyalty) are paid for separately.
- The real range, from the entry plan to the largest one: €1–€20 a month, with no implementation cost and 6 months free, no card, no yearly commitment.
What you pay for (components)
The cost components of beauty salon software
| Component | Online (e.g. 4beautify) | Installed locally |
|---|---|---|
| Platform / hosting | A per-salon subscription (not per stylist), from €1 a month, hosting included | Pricier license, plus your own computer and backups |
| Salon modules | Appointments, client records and commissions included in the plan | Modules paid separately or built on request |
| Product stock | Stock module included or paid separately | Stock management set up and paid separately |
| Maintenance and backups | Included (updates, security) | On you or an IT administrator |
Practical example
Example: a hair salon with 4 stylists and a receptionist fits the 10-user plan and pays €5 a month for the whole salon — not per stylist. It has online booking, client records, per-service commissions and POS sales in a single account. There is no implementation cost, because setup is done from the interface in a few hours.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the base subscription and ignoring the modules you actually need (commissions, gift cards).
- Forgetting the cost of time lost calculating commissions by hand.
- Paying for an expensive implementation for a small salon you could set up yourself from the interface.
