Vagaro costs vs KadePay: plans, fees and usage
Understand Vagaro pricing before comparing it with KadePay. Separate the software plan, processing costs and usage charges, then calculate a scenario from your own quotes.
How Vagaro prices the reviewed offering
US pricing varies with bookable calendars, locations and selected extras. Introductory offers should be separated from ongoing subscription charges. Request a complete setup-specific estimate rather than comparing only the headline monthly fee.
Pricing model: Per-calendar subscription with additional products and transaction costs.

Build a like-for-like quote
For independent professionals, salon teams and businesses needing appointment and operational tools, 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.
- How many staff calendars and shared resources must be scheduled?
- Which forms, marketing and branded-booking extras appear on the ongoing quote?
- Is marketplace discovery valuable enough to justify a broader salon platform?
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 Vagaro 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.

Compare your own quotes
Enter current quotes for the same payment channel, country and card mix. The example volume is editable; fee fields are deliberately blank. For interchange-plus pricing, use a blended effective rate including interchange, not only the processor markup.
Enter both sets of rates to calculate.
A simple flat-rate worksheet, not an official quote. Excludes taxes, hardware purchases, refunds, disputes, cross-border/currency charges and tiered rate calculations. Add relevant software and usage charges yourself; different fee bases need a separate calculation. Your inputs stay in this page and are not saved.

AI form conversion and marketing features should not be described as an absence of AI, or assumed identical to Kady's editor workflow.
