    Through the years, I've tried a number of other online scheduling tools, but Vagaro is far and away the finest option for companies of any size. Vagaro has considered every detail, including cost, usability, online tutorial videos, quality customer service, and a plethora of customizable features like gift card and credit card integration, as well as email and marketing tools.

    Pros

    Excellent service is a major selling point for me. Their instant messaging service is quick and simple to use. The program is constantly updated, making it seem better and better while improving its functionality.

    Cons

    I'm not sure I have many complaints because they seem to listen to their consumers and address any issues that arise. The biggest challenge has been teaching customers how to properly pronounce the name.

    On the fence, but TRIAL IS SO USEFUL IN UNDERSTANDING THE SOFTWARE!

    Reviewed on 2024/09/07

    Pros

    Not sure how I feel about it. I have completely mixed views. I signed up for a trial period, when I thought my business would be opening in May, It is now September and I am about to open. The trial period, did not let me obviously try the debit card or payment options. Then from my understanding if you didn't click to continue the trial period, you were no longer getting the service. Yet I am being asked to pay $40.00, $35.00 plus a late fee, for service used in June. But my trial period was end of May to June, so this put me off. THEN they locked me out of my account and are asking me to pay a past due balance of $40.00 but what will happen then, that's just to unlock my account and then are they going to charge me for what more months of NON -USAGE. I sent emails but they bounced back with literally, we've detected key words in your email that this filter system won't allow anyone to respond to. Now imagine if I were up and running and this happened? When I was using the trail period, here is what I somewhat liked:
    The landing page
    The reminders although I felt like the customer emails were lacking in personal touch and were standard, and seemed very automated to me and "cold." I couldn't figure out how to personalize it. Then the location was neat, but again. The email reminders were a little one liner, reminder but something about them felt off putting. Not sure, I did find the landing page creation challenging but nonetheless they give you a landing page. The add ons are expensive so for a software all of a sudden you can come up to over $200 I get it, but why is there nothing for a start up, entrepreneur? The $50.00 program seemed ideal and overall it seems like a good software but this $40.00 is absolutely offputting to me, so if I pay them and still can't access my account, they would have gained $40.00 for me for after a trial period where I was not using the program? So I don't know. BUT i do suggest doing the trial period. I 've done several with some others and so far, nothing seems to be wowing me or they're way to expensive for my start up.

    Cons

    Their capacity to shut your account down if there is a missed payment. Imagine running a business and that happens.

    Reasons for Switching to Vagaro

    Their 30 day trial was so vital in a new endeavour and entrepreneurship and as a new business owner. I didn't know where to start, and I really liked their description of the product and the free trial and the ease of use, plus the meeting I had with the rep during the Demo, was pretty straight forward but then when I went to use it on my own, it was a little more confusing.

    Response from Vagaro

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. When signing up for a 30-day free trial, the system indicates when the trial period ends and when billing for the monthly subscription will begin. You have the option to cancel your account at any time within the software. However, it appears that the account remained active beyond the trial period. Please note, that the system provides a warning before suspending the account and closing it.

    If you need assistance, our 24/7 support team is available via phone, chat, or email at vagaro.com/pro/contact. We’d be happy to help you reactivate your account or with any other concerns. Feel free to reach out to us at your convenience.
