    Common questions.

    Aesthetika is $269/mo flat on early access, with every feature and built-in payment processing included. GlossGenius runs $24 to $148/mo plus 2.6% card processing. Vagaro starts at $30/mo plus $10 per staff member. Boulevard starts at $176/mo. Aesthetika also replaces the receptionist, social media manager, and bookkeeper, so the real comparison is against your whole operating cost, not just software.

    Booking software books appointments, sends reminders, and takes payment. Aesthetika also answers your phone and DMs and books on its own, plans and posts your social content every week, chases no-shows, rebooks lapsed clients, runs bookkeeping and commission payroll, and detects slow weeks and fills them. It is a full business operating system, not just a scheduler.

    Yes. Payment processing is built into Aesthetika with no third-party account to set up. You take cards, deposits, and tips in one place. Most competitors charge roughly 2.2% to 2.75% plus a fixed fee per transaction on top of their monthly subscription.

    Aesthetika does. Its AI agent answers every inbound call in your business name, recognizes returning clients, books the appointment by phone, and texts back any missed call in under 60 seconds. Standard booking platforms like GlossGenius, Vagaro, and Square do not answer your phone.

    If you only need a calendar and a card reader and you handle everything yourself, a cheaper tool like GlossGenius or Square Appointments may suit you better. Aesthetika pays off when you are paying staff or freelancers, losing revenue to no-shows, or spending hours on admin, content, and follow-up. Run your own numbers in the calculator above.
