Vagaro is a powerful platform with a lot of add-ons — and a price tag that reflects it. EasySched is built for independent operators who want a clean, commission-free tool at a flat $35/month with no per-user fees.
* Vagaro's $30/month base is slightly cheaper. Vagaro also offers more add-on features — if you need text marketing, forms, or a website builder, Vagaro provides them (at additional cost). EasySched is a focused tool for solo operators who want flat-rate pricing without add-on complexity.
* Vagaro's swiped rate (2.75%) is lower than EasySched's 2.9% + $0.30. Vagaro's Tap to Phone adds $0.06 per tap on top of their standard rate. For keyed and card-on-file transactions, EasySched's rate is more competitive (2.9% + $0.30 vs Vagaro's 3.5% + $0.15).
Vagaro gives you a lower base price but charges separately for most features: $20 for text marketing, $10 for forms, $20 for a website. If you need those, your monthly cost climbs fast. EasySched's model is simpler — a flat $35/month for booking, payments, and client management. No add-on decisions.
If you store cards on file and charge clients after appointments, Vagaro's keyed rate is 3.5% + $0.15 — noticeably higher than EasySched's 2.9% + $0.30. On a $100 service, that's $3.65 vs $3.20. The difference compounds across a full client book.
Vagaro is designed to scale — multiple staff, multiple locations, branded apps, payroll. That's great for salons, but overkill for a booth renter or suite owner. EasySched is built specifically for independent operators: one schedule, zero commissions, straightforward payments.
Vagaro starts at $30/month for one calendar. Add text marketing ($20/month), client intake forms ($10/month), and a website builder ($20/month) and you're easily over $80/month — before any per-user fees.
Yes — Vagaro charges $10/month per additional calendar/user beyond the first. For solo operators this isn't an issue, but it adds up quickly for anyone with an assistant or second chair.
No, Vagaro does not take a commission on bookings. EasySched also takes zero commission on all bookings.
Yes — EasySched is built specifically for independent operators. One flat $35/month price covers booking, payments, and client management with no per-user fees and no add-on complexity.
