Updated: 2026-11-10

For a salon, studio, gym or club that wants clients in an app with its own name, MeetScarlet is the better pick: we publish an iPhone and Android app under your business's name, while Jane's patients use Jane for Clients, one app that holds every Jane clinic they visit. Jane is clinic software from $59 a month, with charting and insurance billing; MeetScarlet is $349 a month plus $999 setup on monthly billing (free on yearly). We make MeetScarlet; every Jane fact here comes from Jane's own pages.

- Our pick: MeetScarlet, for a salon, studio, gym or club that wants clients in its own app, not in a shared app that holds every Jane clinic

- Jane: Balance $59 a month (one practitioner, 20 appointments a month), Practice $79 and Thrive $99, each including one full-time practitioner; more practitioners cost extra

- Jane's client app: Jane for Clients, for patients in Canada and the US: one login across all their Jane clinics, with your logo, photos and booking flow inside

- MeetScarlet: $349 a month for one location with an iPhone and Android app under your name, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee

## Which should you pick?

**Who wrote this:** the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on November 1, 2026, not from a hands-on test of the rival. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.

**Pick MeetScarlet** if you run a salon, studio, gym or club and want your clients to download an app with your business's name from the App Store and Google Play, where they see only your business and book, buy memberships and packs, and check in with a pass. Jane's patients use Jane for Clients, one app that holds every Jane clinic they visit. Our team sets MeetScarlet up and submits your app under your own Apple and Google accounts.

**Jane may suit you** if you run a clinic and need charting, telehealth and insurance billing, which MeetScarlet doesn't have.

## Why salons, studios and gyms pick MeetScarlet over Jane

- Your own app in the App Store and Google Play under your business's name; Jane's patients use Jane for Clients, one app across every Jane clinic they visit
- Clients see only your business in your app
- Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts
- Our team imports your client list and sets up your services, staff, prices and memberships as part of setup

## Questions to ask on a Jane demo

Jane's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:

- Can my clinic have its own app in the App Store under our name, or only Jane for Clients?
- What does each extra full-time or part-time practitioner cost on my plan?
- Is the Jane for Clients app available to patients outside Canada and the US?
- If you leave, can you export your client list, and what comes with it?

Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the [homepage](https://meetscarlet.com/#pricing).

## Moving to MeetScarlet

We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your services, staff, prices and memberships as part of setup. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.

## Questions

Straight answers. Anything else, ask us on a demo.

### Does Jane App have an app for clients?

Yes: Jane for Clients, for patients in Canada and the US. It is one app with one login across all the Jane clinics a patient visits, and it shows your logo, photos and booking flow. Its patient-app page doesn't describe a separate app under the clinic's own name (read November 1, 2026). MeetScarlet publishes an app under your business's own name to the App Store and Google Play.

### How much does Jane App cost?

Jane's pricing page lists Balance at $59 a month for one practitioner and 20 appointments a month, Practice at $79 and Thrive at $99, each including one full-time practitioner; extra practitioners cost more, and admin staff are free.

### Is MeetScarlet a replacement for Jane in a clinic?

No. MeetScarlet has no charting, telehealth or insurance billing. It is built for salons, barbershops, tanning salons, studios, gyms, padel clubs and car washes that want an app under their own name.

### Is this comparison independent?

No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to salons, studios, gyms and clubs that want their own app, not a shared one. Every Jane fact comes from Jane's own pages, dated, and we say where Jane may fit better.
