Booksy vs GlossGenius: What’s the difference?

GlossGenius has different plan tiers that include different sets of features, so you’ll pay more to access all of their features. Booksy charges per user, with a base subscription and extra cost for each additional user on your team. 

‍

With Booksy’s subscription, you’ll have access to every feature that Booksy offers, including Reserve with Google, Resource Management, Custom Forms & Waivers, and Waitlist. With GlossGenius, you’ll need to pay for a higher monthly plan tier to access all of these features. Booksy is a more affordable and full featured choice for solo professionals and small teams, especially if you’ll plan to use more features and send more marketing messages.
