WHAT THIS STUDY MEASURES
A buying study, not a copied ranking.
This report compares the cost required to obtain salon booking software and an AI receptionist or closely related receptionist automation. It separates software subscriptions, AI add-ons, required phone products, usage allowances and quote-only pricing so unlike packages are not presented as identical.
Salon platforms and receptionist products compared.

PUBLISHED PRICE EVIDENCE
What each package actually requires.
Prices are shown as published, not normalized into a misleading single number. “Quote required” means the provider did not publish enough information to calculate a complete starting total.

REPRODUCIBLE METHOD
How the evidence was collected.
Researchers reviewed each provider’s official U.S. pricing page, product page or support documentation. The study records the displayed monthly subscription, mandatory platform dependencies, included calling or messaging allowance, stated overage price, and whether the product is generally available, beta or quote-only.
Exclusions: taxes, payment processing, hardware, implementation, optional marketing products and negotiated enterprise discounts unless required to activate the receptionist. Currency is USD. Prices may change after November 12, 2026.
RESEARCH FAQ
How to interpret the results.
Is Book With AI the cheapest salon software?
Not universally. Square publishes a $0 plan. The defensible finding is narrower: among the generally available voice-receptionist packages in this named comparison with complete public starting prices, Book With AI plus SANAA has the lowest published ongoing starting total at the time of verification.
Why call this the 2027 study when prices were checked in 2026?
This is the 2027 edition prepared ahead of the buying year. The page shows the exact verification date and should be refreshed during 2027 whenever a provider changes a price or product status.
Are promotional and beta prices treated as permanent?
No. SANAA’s $29 price is identified as a current founding price, and Booksy’s free period is identified as a limited beta offer. Buyers should verify the live terms before purchasing.
Does a lower price mean a better product?
No. Cost is only one decision factor. Businesses should compare booking actions, languages, channels, call transfer, deposits, integrations, security, implementation, support and the software functions they actually need.
How were competitors selected?
The study includes widely compared salon platforms and providers that publicly describe an AI receptionist, concierge or closely related receptionist automation. It is not a complete census of every salon platform or general-purpose voice agent.
