Who is Salon Tracker better for?
Salon Tracker suits tanning salons that want the software to send minutes straight to their beds through T-Max or Sigma timer managers, with a till, a fingerprint reader and a signature pad. Covered Beauty doesn’t do any of those. Its Enterprise plan also covers more than one site.
Price the plan that does both.
On Salon Tracker’s pricing page, online booking is listed on Solo / Mobile and Enterprise, and timer integration on Professional and Enterprise. A tanning salon that wants both is looking at Enterprise, £90 a month plus VAT, for at least 12 months, before hardware. If you don’t need the software to switch your beds on, compare that with our Salon plan.
