Pricing
Simple, flat pricing that scales with you
Zenoti is sold as an enterprise platform, typically through a sales demo, custom quote, and annual contract, with a full implementation before you go live. For a single independent salon or spa, that usually means paying for scale, complexity, and services you will never use. Bookluxe starts free and scales with you.
