SoloChair · Competitive Comparison

Everything a solo stylist needs. One flat price.

The other apps aren't cheaper — they just hide the salon-critical features behind a higher tier, an add-on, or a cut of your new clients. Here's the same chart, side by side.

What you'd actually pay

The sticker price and the real price are rarely the same. Sorted by the catch.

Feature by feature

A filled gold circle means SoloChair includes it at one flat price. An amber circle with a “$” means a rival offers it — but only on a pricier tier or paid add-on.

What costs extra everywhere else

Four things SoloChair includes that the field charges for — or doesn't do at all.

Get paid to spread the word

The referral that keeps paying

Every owner — not a special affiliate club — earns $10 a month per studio they bring on: $120 a year that keeps coming for as long as you're both on SoloChair, and never clawed back.

4 referrals and your $39 is covered. A fifth starts paying you.

Everyone else

One reward, then it stops

Vagaro $50 · GlossGenius $30 · Booksy $50 · StyleSeat $200 · BookedIn 1 free month — paid once, per referral.

SoloChair

$10 — every month

for every studio you refer, for as long as they stay active. It never stops.*

*The commissions you've already earned stay yours — they keep paying for as long as each studio you referred remains active, even if the rate or the offer ever changes for new referrals down the road.

Where SoloChair is still growing

SoloChair is new, and honest about it. A comparison you can't trust is worthless, so here's the other side of the chart:

Automated text reminders are coming. Today the app opens your phone's messenger with the text already written; several rivals include automated SMS now. It's the next thing on the list.
There's no marketplace sending you cold leads. That's deliberate — Fresha, StyleSeat and Booksy will, but they take 20–30% of that client's first visit. SoloChair keeps you at 100% and never rents you your own clients.
Client import and a multi-stylist mode are on the roadmap. SoloChair is built for one chair, one book — on purpose — and your data is always yours to export.
Connecting your own domain (yourname.com) is coming — and it'll be included, not an upcharge. Today you get a clean booking link with your name on it; pointing a domain you already own at it is next. Vagaro charges $20/mo for that — it won't cost extra here.

Apply to be a founding stylist

SoloChair is live, and we're onboarding a small group of founding stylists by hand. The app is free for as long as you use it, you earn $10/month for every stylist you bring on, and you get a direct line to our team. In return we ask for your honest feedback every week — and your real book on the app.

A true solo stylist — your chair, your book, your regulars.
Enough of a client base to put real bookings through it.
Hungry to grow, and strong on Instagram or TikTok.
Will give honest weekly feedback and feature ideas.
Knows the landscape — you've used other booking apps.
Wants to help shape the product, not just use a finished one.

Thank you — it's in.

We read every application ourselves. If it looks like a fit, you'll hear from us at the email you gave.
