Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Zolmi, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and a salon calendar and checkout needs setting up.

The report card
Best for small salons paying per staff member
Zolmi starts at $15 a month for the first staff member on yearly billing, with no booking commissions. Wages, commissions and loyalty need the $25 Pro plan, text messages cost extra at a rate the page doesn't give, and it's web only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $15 a month for the first staff member and $2 for each extra on yearly billing, which is inside the category's cheaper quarter. Commissions and memberships need Pro at $25. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day trial, no card, and no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Calendar, online booking, client records, checkout, deposits and gift cards. Start caps stock at 10 products, and wages, commissions and forms are Pro only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and a salon calendar and checkout needs setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. The site describes a mobile salon app but lists no store pages, and no integrations are on record. |
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 Zolmi is for
- Fits if you run a salon of 1 to 3 and want to pay for each chair
- Works for owners who want no commission on online bookings
Who it is not for
- Watch out: text messages are charged on top and the page doesn't list the rate
- Tight if you need commissions, forms, loyalty or memberships, which are Pro at $25 a month
- Skip it if you need an iOS or Android app, as no store listing is shown
- Watch out: card processing fees are separate from the plan
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one
Good to know
Good for

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 Zolmi 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.
It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, inventory, review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Zolmi’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.
