The Vagaro alternative with flat pricing

In the details that catch you out, yes. Prices in Australian dollars with GST included rather than converted, text messages to Australian mobiles, support during your working day rather than overnight, and payouts into an Australian bank account. None of it is dramatic on its own; together it's the difference between software that fits and software you work around.

There's a real free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI assistant, no card required. Paid plans start at $29 AUD a month for one person taking bookings and from $69 for a team, GST included. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on.

Yes. Export your list from your current system (Fresha, Timely, Square and most others do it in one click) or paste it straight from a spreadsheet into Customers → Import. The columns are recognised for you, duplicates are skipped, and a last-visit column comes across too. Anyone not on the list takes seconds to add, and a record creates itself the first time someone books. Nothing is ever locked in: your customer list exports whenever you want it.

Yes, and without a card. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on, so you can set it up properly, take real bookings and see how it fits your business before paying anything. There are no lock-in contracts and you can cancel any time. Every new account is also offered a free 15-minute setup call if you'd like a hand.

No. BeNotely takes 0% of your bookings on every plan. You pay a flat subscription, or nothing at all on the free plan. When a customer pays a deposit, the standard card-processing fee applies - the same as any card payment anywhere - and the rest lands in your own account. BeNotely adds nothing on top and earns from the subscription, not from a cut of your work.

Yes. It's built in Melbourne, and it shows in the details: pricing in Australian dollars with GST included, text messages to Australian mobiles, support from people who know the local market, and your money paid into your own Australian bank account.
