Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 22 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps we grade
Noona is a booking system for appointment-based businesses such as salons, barbershops, clinics and personal trainers, sold as Noona HQ. It combines a calendar, client records, online payments and a booking profile in a consumer marketplace app. Plans are priced per seat, with a lower rate for teams than for a solo user.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Noona, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up services, staff and payments.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $8.50 a seat for a team, but $12.75 for one person on Starter, around the middle of calendar tools. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with full access and no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Calendar, client records, payments, reminders and waitlists. SMS reminders, POS and sales reports sit above Starter. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up services, staff and payments. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Google Calendar and Google Reserve. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Solo beauty and wellness practitioners
- Salons and clinics with a handful of staff
- Businesses that want clients to find them in a booking marketplace
Worth knowing
- Per-seat prices are lower on team accounts than for a solo user, and the seat cap is 3 on Starter and 9 on Professional.
- SMS reminders are not on Starter; Professional includes about 40 per seat each month.
- POS, inventory, sales reports and the website booking widget need Professional or above.
- Prices exclude VAT, per the pricing page.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
