CutLedger How we make money

Salon software for 1 chair

A solo stylist pays almost no per-staff fees, so the new-client fee and card rate decide the bill. Defaults: 100 bookings, $60 ticket, 5 new marketplace clients, all card in person.

Not in the ledger (no price, quote only, or a general scheduler): Acuity Scheduling, Setmore, TeamUp, Phorest, Zenoti, Treatwell (UK), Salonized (EU)

  Bars share one scale. Hover a segment for its amount. “from” = entry plan; “3rd-party” = vendor page not read.
