Best for salon and clinic booking
Noona is a booking and client system for salons and clinics, from $8.50 a seat for teams. A solo user pays $12.75 on Starter, there is no free plan, and SMS reminders, POS and the website widget need a dearer plan.
Who Noona is for
- Fits if you run a salon or clinic with a few staff
- Works for teams who want online payments and a client list in one place
Who Noona is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a 14-day trial
- Pricey if you work alone, as a solo seat costs more than a team seat
- Tight if you want SMS reminders, as Starter has none and Professional has about 40 per seat
- Watch out: Starter is capped at 3 seats and Professional at 9
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT

Keep Noona, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Noona you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $102 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar and Google Reserve among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Noona’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
