Sirtxa vs Vagaro
All the power. None of the complexity.
Vagaro packs in features — but also add-on fees, a marketplace you didn't ask for, and a learning curve that takes weeks. Sirtxa gives you everything a salon or spa needs in one flat monthly price, with a setup that takes hours, not weeks.

Sirtxa
Sirtxa is purpose-built for beauty businesses that need a complete, easy-to-use platform without the add-on fees or complexity. One flat monthly price covers online booking, walk-in waitlist, self check-in kiosk, POS, team payroll, loyalty programs, revenue intelligence, and an AI receptionist.
Vagaro
Vagaro is a feature-rich salon and spa management platform used by a wide range of beauty businesses. It offers booking, POS, payroll, and marketing tools, but many advanced features require paid add-ons, and the platform's complexity can be a barrier for smaller teams.
