Our salon software ROI calculator uses industry data and real customer results to provide accurate savings estimates
Compare your current monthly software subscription cost against BookB's transparent pricing. We include all fees - no hidden charges, no transaction fees, no per-user costs beyond the plan limits.
Unlike competitors like Zenoti or Phorest, BookB eliminates setup fees (typically $500-2,000) and doesn't charge extra for essential features.
Industry research shows automated SMS reminders reduce no-shows by 30-50%. We use a conservative 30% reduction based on actual BookB customer data.
With the average salon appointment worth $75 and typical no-show rates of 10-20%, most salons recover $810-1215 monthly in previously lost revenue through our automated reminder system.
Some systems like Fresha charge 5-10% commission on every booking. For a salon doing $18k monthly revenue, that's $1350 lost every month.
BookB charges 0% transaction fees. You keep 100% of your revenue. Check the box above if your current system charges commission to see your savings.
These savings aren't included in the calculator but add significant value
BookB's streamlined interface saves staff 2-4 hours weekly on administrative tasks compared to complex enterprise systems.

For 3 staff = potential $4k+ extra monthly revenue
Faster checkout and multiple payment options increase average ticket size and reduce abandoned bookings.
Estimated 5-10% increase in completed transactions
Staff can manage schedules, process payments, and view client notes from mobile app - work from anywhere.

Yes. Our ROI calculator uses real pricing data from BookB and major competitors, industry-standard no-show rates (10-20%), and conservative estimates for revenue recovery (30% reduction in no-shows, not the industry standard 40-50%).
The calculator is updated monthly to reflect current pricing across all regions (US, UK, Australia, UAE). We deliberately underestimate benefits to ensure you can confidently rely on these projections when planning your salon software investment.
BookB sends automatic SMS reminders 24-48 hours before appointments. Multiple studies show this reduces no-shows by 30-50%. Our calculator uses a conservative 30% reduction to ensure reliability.
For a salon with 15% no-show rate doing 240 appointments monthly (3 staff), that's preventing 11-18 no-shows monthly. At $75 average appointment value, you recover $810+ monthly. Read our full guide on reducing salon no-shows.
Everything. All features are included in your plan - online booking, SMS reminders, client management, POS system, inventory tracking, analytics, mobile apps, and priority support (Professional plan).
Unlike enterprise software that charges separately for SMS credits, payment processing, advanced reporting, or API access, BookB includes all essential features. No setup fees, no transaction fees, no hidden costs. See our commission-free booking system comparison.

Free salon software typically has severe limitations: limited appointments, basic features only, transaction fees (5-10% per booking), no SMS reminders, weak reporting, or forced client data portability issues.
BookB's Starter plan at $20/month provides unlimited appointments, full feature access, zero transaction fees, and professional support. The cost pays for itself if you prevent just 1-2 no-shows monthly. Compare BookB to Fresha or other "free" options to see the real cost difference.
