Which one is for you
Pick Meevo if
- Fits if you run a salon, spa or med spa and want booking, payments and marketing in one system
- Works for multi-site beauty businesses that can sign an annual contract
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a monthly price you can read, as every plan is a quote
- Tight if you are a very small shop, because Lite covers 5 users, 2,500 email contacts and 100 SMS credits
- Watch out: the subscription is based on an annual contract
- Too light for an API user on the lower tiers, as the API and the business intelligence app are Premier only
Pick SalonTarget if
- Fits if you run one hair or nail salon and are happy to phone for a quote
- Works for booth-renters and small teams priced by headcount
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a posted price, as you have to call
- Tight if you need two-way texting or text marketing, as those are add-ons billed monthly
- Not for you if you want a phone app, as none is mentioned
- Skip it if you run several locations, as that's an add-on too
- Watch out: there's only one Professional plan, so no cheaper tier

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
