Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really offer online scheduling without paying a monthly fee?

Yes! Unlike Fresha or Booksy which charge monthly subscriptions and penalize teams with per-user fees, ChairMora's Starter plan is $0/month forever. You can offer 24/7 online client self-scheduling for 1 chair with unlimited bookings, automated email confirmations, and 0% commission on your cuts. If you expand to a second barber, your 2nd chair is billed at just +$9/month.

How many calendar syncs are included on the Free plan?

The Starter Free plan includes 1 external calendar sync at $0/month forever. You can connect your Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Cal.com, or Apple iCal to automatically import busy slots and prevent double bookings. If you need to connect multiple calendars simultaneously, Studio Booking Pro ($15–$19/mo) and Studio AI Suite ($24–$29/mo) provide unlimited calendar connections.

Why is ChairMora Booking Pro so much cheaper than Fresha, Booksy, and Vagaro?

Competitors hit studio owners with aggressive per-seat fees: Fresha charges $19.95/mo PLUS $14.95 per team member every month, and takes a 20% cut on first-time marketplace clients. Booksy charges $29.99/mo PLUS $20 per additional staff member. ChairMora Studio Booking Pro is a flat, predictable $15–$19/month for your entire shop with UNLIMITED chairs and 0% commissions.

How is the Studio AI Suite priced so affordably ($24–$29/mo)?

Legacy software tools charge exorbitant markups for AI because of outdated API cost structures. ChairMora is engineered on a high-efficiency reasoning model, which delivers state-of-the-art benchmark intelligence at ultra-low inference costs (~$0.14–$0.28 per million tokens). We pass these massive technological savings directly to studio owners: you receive unlimited dynamic pricing gap analysis, review sentiment intelligence, and marketing copywriting for just $24/mo (annual) or $29/mo (monthly) with zero token caps or hidden fees.

What is the difference between Booking Pro ($15/mo) and Studio AI Suite ($24/mo)?

Studio Booking Pro ($15–$19/mo) is tailored for owners who want pure booking performance: unlimited team chairs, unlimited external calendar syncs, SMS text reminders, and no-show protection deposits without paying for AI features they might not need. Studio AI Suite ($24–$29/mo) adds the complete AI intelligence suite: automated neighborhood price gap optimization, customer review sentiment radar, and professional brand copy generation.

How does ChairMora compare to Square Appointments and Setmore?

Square Appointments and Setmore offer basic scheduling, but they only give you a standalone web link with zero local consumer discovery. ChairMora gives you free scheduling PLUS lists your studio in our high-traffic city directory where clients discover neighborhood barbers and salons, alongside built-in holiday blackout management and AI marketing capabilities.

Do you take any percentage or commission from my cuts?

Never. ChairMora charges 0% commission across all tiers. You keep 100% of your earnings. Clients pay you directly in-chair or through your existing payment terminal.

What happens if I downgrade from AI Suite or Pro to Starter Free?

Your studio profile and online self-scheduling remain active for 1 chair ($0/mo forever)! You never lose your client booking link, calendar, or city directory presence. If your team adds a 2nd chair (+$9/mo) or you want unlimited chairs with the ChairMora AI Suite, you can upgrade again in 1 click.
