Salonkee
In short
In 30 seconds.
Salonkee fits if …
you want POS, card deposits, a website module and diary from one vendor and want to win new customers through the Salonkee app.
terminio.ai fits if …
you want your own booking page without a customer account, WhatsApp reminders with no cost per message and a start at €0 instead of €49 a month.
The biggest difference
Salonkee is salon software with a till and starts at €49 a month; WhatsApp and a free plan are not on its website. terminio costs €0 to €19.99 a month, but has no till.
Features
