Salonist costs vs KadePay: plans, fees and usage

How Salonist prices the reviewed offering

The current page advertises a limited marketplace listing and Essential, Advance and Expert subscriptions with unlimited staff. Groups receive custom quotes. The retrieved page displayed Australian dollars, so no US numerical price is asserted. Confirm the US quote, required tier, integrations and optional products before estimating total ownership cost.

Pricing model: Tiered team-wide subscription, optional products, integrations and region-dependent payment or messaging costs.

• Selected tier and locations
• Optional digital wallet cards or other products
• Payment processor, country support and transaction fees
• Messaging providers and usage terms
• Regional currency, taxes and billing period

Build a like-for-like quote

For beauty and wellness businesses seeking team-wide subscriptions, including multi-location operators, a useful budget follows the work you actually perform. Ask each provider to price the same staff count, payment channel and required customer tasks. Include the integrations needed for the complete setup, and keep one-time migration work separate from recurring monthly charges.

• Which required features are in Essential, Advance or Expert on the written US quote?
• Does the payment integration support the business's country and preferred checkout method?
• Are memberships prepaid balances, discount benefits or automatic recurring charges in the intended configuration?

Put the KadePay side in the same budget

Choose the applicable KadePay plan and read the complete pricing table. Distinguish terminal and manually entered card rates, appointment usage, session or ticket charges and optional payment methods. Recurring billing and multiple users depend on the plan. Do not compare a card-present rate on one side with an online or manual-entry rate on the other.

If Salonist connects to a separate processor, include that processor in its budget. If KadePay uses a processor for your payment setup, include the applicable full payment charges and avoid counting the same charge twice. A software subscription and a transaction processing charge describe different costs.

Your monthly cost worksheet

Before you accept a quote

Confirm the renewal period, location or staff limits, optional add-ons and any migration work. Ask the provider to demonstrate the exact workflow in your quote. An advertised starting price is not a promise that every feature or every payment method is included.
