Phorest fits if …
you run a larger salon or several locations and want a complete suite, with marketing, loyalty, stock and a deposit at booking, and a price on request is fine for you.
terminio.ai fits if …
you run one salon and want to start at €0, WhatsApp reminders from your own number in your own words, an assistant that answers calls and a team that no plan puts a limit on.
The biggest difference
Phorest publishes no prices, WhatsApp is an add-on with a fixed template, and its Front Desk AI answers messages, not calls. terminio costs €0 to €19.99 a month, WhatsApp is included from Pro, and on Pro Voice an AI assistant picks up the phone.
Point by point.
The same eleven rows as on the comparison page, just for these two. Whatever Phorest's website does not confirm stays a question mark and never counts as a no.
