Clientara vs Vagaro

The difference is not the feature list. It is who the money belongs to, and whether the software understands how your shop actually works.

Clientara compared with Vagaro, feature by feature
What it costs you	Clientara	Vagaro
Cut of each appointment	None — 0%	A percentage of every booking
Cut of your tips	None	Often inside their cut
Where the money lands	Your own Stripe account	Their account, paid out later
Booth rent seats	Each professional pays their own	Usually billed to the owner
No-show protection	Included, card on file	Frequently a paid add-on
Getting started	Same day — import included	Onboarding call, then a wait

Clientara takes 0%. Stripe’s standard card fee still applies, as it does on every platform — on Clientara the client-facing price absorbs it, so you collect your full set price. We would rather tell you that than have you find out.
