You want clients who find you through a marketplace. Belcome has no marketplace.
You need payroll inside the booking app today.
You want your own app in the stores now. Belcome's branded app is still planned.
You run a large team: past seven paid licenses, Vagaro stops charging for more calendars.

When Belcome is the better choice

Your clients book in Spanish or Portuguese as well as English.
You would rather not add up add-ons: forms, online deposits, accounting sync and e-mail campaigns are already in Belcome's plan.
You run a med spa and need signed treatment notes, a face chart and good faith exams, with client data on HIPAA-eligible AWS services under a Business Associate Agreement.
You want the price to stop growing: Belcome never goes above $79 a month per location.

Questions about Belcome and Vagaro

Can I bring my Vagaro clients to Belcome?

Does Belcome charge for forms like Vagaro does?

No. Intake forms and consents with signature are part of the Belcome plan. Vagaro lists Forms as a $10 a month add-on on its pricing table.
