Boulevard is built for salons and spas that treat booking as part of the brand. Essentials costs $143 a month for one location on annual billing and covers up to 5 bookable providers, 250 free texts, 1,000 free email blasts and 50 GB of storage. Premier removes the provider cap and is listed at $234 per location under a limited-time fall offer, normally $293, while Prestige bundles the Forms add-on, 2,500 texts and 10,000 email blasts for $328, normally $410. Client self-booking, profiles, loyalty, memberships, buy now pay later and a dispute center for chargebacks are part of the platform, and the new AI Receptionist answers calls and books clients. Payments run on the Boulevard Duo reader with an iPad app. Onboarding is hands-on, with a specialist who sets up locations, menus and staff. The cost adds up: forms, QuickBooks sync and texting beyond the allowance are paid extras, so price the full stack before you sign.
