Why switch?
Switching from Squire?
A barbershop-focused booking + point-of-sale platform, sold across four pricing tiers.
Squire is barbershop-specific, but it's split into four tiers, from around $30/mo for a solo barber up to about $250/mo. On top of the subscription, it adds a $1–3 fee to every booking (charged to your clients) and a 0.5% payroll fee, and it processes card payments through its own system at rates it doesn't publish.
Squire vs. barber.rsvp
What shops tell us about Squire
Payments on their terms
Squire runs your card payments through its own system at rates it doesn't disclose, and adds a 0.5% fee on payroll, on top of your monthly plan.
Your clients pay to book
On top of what you pay each month, Squire charges your clients a $1–3 fee on every booking, a cost your regulars feel, not you.
Hard to leave
Public reviews describe difficulty canceling and slow support, with your card-on-file and client data living inside the platform.
Why shops move to barber.rsvp
Same barbershop focus at a flat price, with no four-tier upsell, no per-booking fee on your clients, and your payments landing in your own account.
You own your clients
Your client list and history are yours; export them anytime. We're not a marketplace that sits between you and your regulars.
Your own Stripe, your money
Payments go straight to your own Stripe account on standard rates, with no middleman holding your funds or taking a cut of your payouts.
Honest, flat pricing
Start at $29 for a solo barber, then one flat price per shop with every chair included, never a per-seat fee that climbs each time you hire.
Built for barbershops
Per-barber calendars, walk-ins, memberships, no-show deposits, and commission & rent tracking, made for how a shop actually runs, not bent to fit.
