Planity

Planity is appointment and management software for hair salons, barbershops, beauty institutes, spas and nail technicians, paired with a public marketplace at planity.com where the salon has a 24/7 bookable page. The Agenda plan covers online booking, salon profile, client file tracking, advance payments and deposits, booking buttons for social media and 300 reminder SMS included monthly. The Agenda + Checkout plan adds checkout software certified under French VAT anti-fraud law (NF525), the approval required to take retail payments in France, plus inventory management, gift card sales and accounting data export. Agenda + Checkout + Payment Terminal provides a payment terminal linked to the software, with suggested tips and daily transfers. The publisher does not publish any pricing: the three plans are commitment-free and quoted after discussion with an advisor, but the model itself is plain, a fixed subscription with no commission taken per booking.

Planity is a French publisher, and the product, support, billing and consumer marketplace all target salons established in France, which is also who the NF525 checkout certification serves: there is no case for the tool if you operate elsewhere. Its model is the clearest on the beauty market: fixed subscription, zero commission on appointments, no setup or maintenance fees, and a marketplace that brings customers with no commission per booking, unlike Treatwell. The 300 included reminder SMS in the Agenda plan avoid the per-message billing seen elsewhere. The publisher states that the client database belongs to the salon and can be retained if the partnership ends. Limitations stem first from pricing opacity: impossible to compare without speaking to a sales rep, and price varies by business size. Planity does not document a public API and remains focused on beauty and wellness. Marketplace visibility creates real dependency if it becomes your main customer acquisition channel.
