JustBook, next to GlossGenius.
Both run a stylist's or salon's booking page. Here's where they actually differ, not a feature-count contest.
| Point of comparison | JustBook | GlossGenius |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on bookings | 0%, every plan | Flat subscription; check their current terms for any added fees |
| Who your payments go to | Your own Stripe account, directly | Check their current payment terms |
| Solo / one-chair pricing | From $15.00/mo | Varies by current plan |
| Booth rental support | Built in: renters and venues are each a full, separate business | – |
| Renaming the booking flow for your trade | Every entity is renameable, so it isn't locked to hair and beauty wording | – |
| Marketplace / client poaching | Not a marketplace. Your clients never see a competitor | Check their current marketplace terms |
GlossGenius details change over time and we don't run their product, so verify current pricing and terms on their own site before you decide. Prices above are provisional until launch.
If you rent a chair, this is the part that matters most.
Your own Stripe account, your own 1099-K, and a client list that moves with you if you ever change venues. Built for one professional running their own business, not squeezed into a salon-sized plan.
See the independent-stylist pageChange venues. Keep everything.
Your booking page and client list were never the venue's to begin with.
Questions people switching ask
Is JustBook a direct replacement for GlossGenius?
For booking, payments, and a client list, yes. If you're specifically comparing every last feature the two apps carry, look at our features page and decide for yourself; this page is about the differences that actually change what you pay and who owns your business.
Do you take a cut of my bookings like a marketplace app does?
No. 0% commission, on every plan, always. You pay a flat monthly subscription and that's the whole bill.
I rent a chair. Does that change anything?
It's built for it directly. See for independent professionals for what that means for your payouts, your client list, and moving venues.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. See pricing for the current length. No card is needed until you publish.
See it for yourself before you switch anything.
Set up your page, publish it, and decide once it's actually running.
