Shore
In short
In 30 seconds.
Shore fits if …
you want established salon software from Germany, with your own booking page, a deposit at booking and WhatsApp from the Wachstum plan, and a yearly contract is fine for you.
terminio.ai fits if …
you want to start at €0 and cancel monthly, WhatsApp reminders from your own number with no cost per message and a team that no plan puts a limit on.
The biggest difference
Shore costs from €49.90 a month billed yearly, with no free plan, and team size depends on the plan. terminio costs €0 to €19.99 a month, cancellable monthly, however big your team is.
