FAQs
When is Vagaro the better choice? +
If you run a fixed-location salon, spa, or studio and want a listing on Vagaro's consumer marketplace to pull in new clients, that marketplace is a real draw Meep isn't built to offer. For a single chair, the entry price is also low.
Does Meep do salon and spa booking? +
Yes. Meep handles service menus, per-provider availability, online booking, deposits, and reminders, with unlimited providers at one price.
What about a branded app and forms? +
Meep has no branded app. Core includes a booking site on your own domain plus documents and e-signatures for intake and waivers. Vagaro offers forms and a branded app; check their current price with Vagaro, since its pricing page doesn't list one.
Can I move my clients to Meep? +
Yes. Export your client list from Vagaro and import it into Meep as a CSV so your history comes with you.
