LivaLivo vs Vagaro
Vagaro is the veteran salon platform: marketplace, payroll, inventory, the works. It’s built for salons with staff — which is exactly what a solo pro ends up paying for and never using.
What you pay
LivaLivo
$9 /month, flat
Or $90 a year. Solo Plus $19/month adds text reminders. No commissions, no payment processing, no add-ons.
Vagaro
$30/month, plus $10 for each extra calendar
Marketplace plus paid add-ons; built for salons and teams.
Competitor prices come from their public pricing pages, checked October 2026 — they can change, so double-check before you decide.
Where Vagaro does well
- A marketplace that can bring in new clients
- A deep feature list for salons with staff
- Payroll, inventory and more if you ever need them
Where LivaLivo is different
- No marketplace fees or add-on surprises — $9, that’s the price
- Nothing to wade through: one calendar, one client book
- Built only for solo pros, so every screen fits how you actually work
- Your client list exports freely, anytime — it’s yours
The short version
Vagaro makes sense for a salon with staff. For one person, much of it is weight you’ll never use — LivaLivo keeps just the parts a solo pro touches every day.
