Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vagaro's free plan actually free?
Vagaro's "free" offer is typically a time-limited trial rather than a permanent free tier. After the trial ends, a paid base subscription applies, and extras like text marketing, custom forms, and additional staff seats are often sold as separate add-ons on top of that base fee.
What does Slotivo's free plan include that Vagaro charges extra for?
Slotivo includes online booking, unlimited reminders, custom intake forms, and a waitlist at no extra cost on the free plan. Vagaro commonly charges separately for text marketing and forms once you're past its trial, on top of its base subscription.
Is there a card required to start with Slotivo?
No. You can sign up and use the full free plan — for 1-2 staff — without entering a credit card. Nothing switches to paid automatically because there is no trial clock running.
Can I migrate my client list from Vagaro?
Yes. Our support team helps migrate your client list, appointment history, and service catalogue from Vagaro at no extra cost.
What happens once I grow past 2 staff?
You move to one flat monthly plan that includes unlimited staff and every feature — forms, reminders, waitlist — with nothing sold separately. No per-seat pricing, no add-on menu.
