Booker by Mindbody review

Booker is Mindbody's software for salons and spas, aimed at day spas, hotel spas, salons, barbershops, beauty bars and massage studios. Plans start at $139, and every tier includes management tools for staff, schedules, inventory and revenue, point of sale with ecommerce and online gift cards, email and text reminders, a customized website that links to your Booker services page, and a listing on the Mindbody app, which Mindbody says reaches more than 3 million monthly shoppers. Starter sends up to 3,000 text notifications and reminders. Accelerate adds unlimited active staff profiles, smart contact lists, email templates and loyalty rewards. Ultimate adds automated email and text marketing, unlimited two-way texting, review prompts, referral tracking and tools that fill last-minute openings. An AI chatbot that answers questions and missed calls is an add-on. Setup includes 1-on-1 training and data migration, but every plan starts with a sales call, and the entry price is higher than most self-serve rivals here.
