Besmi vs Vagaro

More power in one app than
Vagaro's entire add-on stack

The all-in-one booking platform built for beauty pros — AI receptionist, aftercare cards, intake forms, and Tap to Pay, all from day one.

Why pros leave Vagaro

Pricing keeps increasing — features you had get moved behind paywalls

Slow performance and loading screens, especially during peak hours

Payment processing failures with no confirmation if payments went through

Customer support marks tickets 'solved' before they're actually resolved

What Besmi gives you

More features included out of the box than Vagaro's highest tier

Built mobile-first so it's fast on any device

AI receptionist answers your clients 24/7 via text — Vagaro doesn't offer this

Aftercare cards and intake forms included, not sold as add-ons

What Vagaro can't do

01

24/7 SMS Receptionist

Your clients text, your AI answers. It books appointments, reschedules, answers questions about services and pricing — even at 2am. You wake up to a full calendar.

02

Digital Aftercare Cards

Send beautiful aftercare instructions to every client after their appointment. Customizable per service — lash aftercare, brow aftercare, facial aftercare. They remember you as the pro who actually cared.

03

Built-in Intake Forms

Collect allergies, medical history, and consent signatures before appointments. Includes a minor consent form for clients under 18 with parent/guardian authorization. Auto-matches to client profiles.

04

Tap to Pay

Your phone becomes a card reader. Accept contactless payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any NFC card. No dongle, no hardware, no extra cost. Just tap and get paid.
