Our Verdict

GlossGenius's $24/month Gold plan is reasonable for solo beauty professionals who value the sleek mobile app and card reader. The $48/month Platinum plan adds marketing tools and advanced reporting. However, with no free plan and no AI booking features, GlossGenius costs more than SchedulingKit while offering less automation. SchedulingKit's free plan covers basic booking needs, and its $12/seat/month Standard plan already includes features that cost $48/month on GlossGenius Platinum — minus the card reader and Instagram integration, which are genuine GlossGenius advantages.
