Vagaro pricing questions
How much does Vagaro cost per month?
The base plan with one bookable calendar lists at $30 a month per location. New US sign-ups were offered $23.99 a month for the first six months when we checked on November 1, 2026. Each extra calendar adds $10 a month, up to seven paid calendars. Add-ons and card processing are extra.
Does Vagaro charge per staff member?
Yes, up to a point. Every bookable calendar after the first costs $10 a month, but you only pay for seven. Staff number eight and beyond are added at no extra charge, so a 7-person and a 12-person location pay the same subscription.
What are Vagaro's processing fees?
Card-reader payments cost 2.6% + $0.10 for businesses processing under $4,000 a month, or 2.29% + $0.19 plus $10 a month for those processing over $4,000. Tap to Phone has different rates. Online payments, charges to saved cards and recurring memberships cost 3.5% + $0.19 on both plans. A $1.25 monthly Mastercard fee and a variable network fee (FANF) also apply.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 30 days. Activating email marketing, text marketing or the Yelp integration, or redeeming the discounted hardware offer, ends the trial early.
Does Vagaro take a commission on marketplace bookings?
A normal US listing has no booking commission. Opt-in Vera Fill My Books and Daily Deals bookings carry a 20% fee for new clients or 5% for returning clients. The fee applies to eligible items in the online cart after discounts, excluding taxes and tips. Products are excluded; gift cards are excluded unless specifically included in the deal.
