❓ Question
Is it worth paying for Treatwell premium or is the free plan enough?

I rent a chair in a salon in Brighton and I'm wondering if I can use Vagaro separately from the main salon's system. The salon owner uses something different and I don't want to confuse clients. Can you set up Vagaro as an individual without it being tied to the building's address? Has anyone done this as a chair renter?

For deposits specifically, Phorest is really smooth. The client gets a card payment screen as part of the booking flow — it doesn't feel like a separate step or like you're being suspicious of them. I take £15 on everything and no one has complained since I set it up properly.

I was asking myself this a year ago. Best decision I ever made was just picking one and starting. Appointy has a free plan that's genuinely functional. Start there, learn the system, then upgrade when you actually need the paid features. Don't let the choice paralysis stop you from just getting on with it.

The Instagram booking integration on Square Appointments was a bit fiddly to set up but it does work. The issue is usually the Facebook Business account connection — make sure your Instagram is properly linked to a Facebook page first, then the Square Appointments integration finds it straight away.
