Salon platform
PointMintz: a real alternative for salons
If you are weighing PointMintz against another platform for your salon, here is the honest version: exactly what the PointMintz salon platform includes today, and what each plan costs. We do not describe a competitor's product for you — check their current plans and features yourself, then line them up against this list.

Transparent pricing
PointMintz uses one honest per-cluster price for salons. SMS is a flat add-on, never a per-message surcharge. These are our own published plan prices — compare them to a competitor's current plans for yourself.
Live pricing is temporarily unavailable. See current PointMintz pricing.
Most tools force a compromise.
PointMintz keeps your brand, booking, and operations in the same system — the same comparison as our homepage, not a claim about any specific product's current features.
| Typical scheduler | PointMintz | Marketplace only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site & brand | Booking widget bolted onto a separate site | Modern site and branded booking that stay in sync | You rent a profile page, not a site |
| Automation | Manual reminders, manual rebooking | Staff schedules, reminders, and rebooking that run themselves | Automation tied to their app, not your brand |
| Payments | A second, disconnected payments tool | Payments tied to the appointment, one system | Commission taken on every booking |
| Retention | No real record of regulars | Client history and rebooking that keeps regulars coming back | Marketplace owns the customer relationship, not you |
| Launch | Weeks of setup before you can take a booking | A working demo before you commit, live same-day | Fast to list, but you never get your own site |
Compare for yourself
The fairest comparison is the one you run. Book a free PointMintz trial, put your real services and staff in, and see how the day-to-day feels. Then open a competitor's own pricing and feature pages and decide with your own eyes — no marketing spin from us about their product.
