Meevo or MeetScarlet: salon software, or an app with your name.
For a salon that wants clients booking in an app with its own name, MeetScarlet is the better pick: the app comes in every plan for $349 a month, while Meevo, sold by quote, lists no client app in its Salon & Spa plans, where clients book on a web page in your colors and logo. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every Meevo fact here comes from Meevo's own pages.
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 want clients booking, rebooking and buying memberships and packs in an app with your salon's name, which Meevo does not list in its Salon & Spa plans, at a price you can see before a demo: $349 a month, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly. Our team sets the app up and submits it under your own Apple and Google accounts.
Meevo may suit you if a web booking page is enough and you want deep salon operations: a waitlist that texts the next client, walk-in check-in with a kiosk (an add-on), group and couples booking, inventory, payroll reports and several locations.
Why salons pick MeetScarlet over Meevo
- An app with your salon's name for your clients, in every plan; Meevo lists no client app in its Salon & Spa plans, where clients book on a web page
- Clients book, rebook, buy memberships and packs, and message your salon in that app
- A price you can see before any demo: $349 a month plus $999 setup, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee; every Meevo plan says “Request A Quote”
- Our team sets up the app and submits it under your own Apple and Google developer accounts

Questions to ask on a Meevo demo
Meevo's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What does Lite cost on the monthly plan and on the annual plan, and what notice do I give to cancel?
- Can my clients get an app with my salon's name, and on which plan?
- What happens to my data if I leave at the end of the contract?
- What do marketing texts cost past my plan's allowance?
- 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.
Moving to MeetScarlet
We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your services, stylists, hours 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 Meevo have a branded app for salons? #
Not that we found. Meevo's Salon & Spa plans list online booking, which you can embed on your site in your colors and logo, and a staff app (MyMeevo, on Premier), but no client app with your salon's name. “MeGo Client App” appears only in its med spa plan list, with no description (read November 1, 2026).
How much does Meevo cost? #
Meevo does not publish prices. Each plan on its pricing page says “Request A Quote”. The page says subscriptions are based on an annual contract, and its FAQ also describes a Monthly Subscription Plan that needs 30 days' notice to cancel.
Is Meevo cheaper than MeetScarlet? #
We can't say, because MeetScarlet publishes its price and Meevo doesn't. MeetScarlet is $349 a month for one location with an app with your salon's name included, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee. Meevo prices by quote.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to salons that want clients booking in an app with their own name. Every Meevo fact comes from Meevo's own pages, dated, and we say where Meevo may fit better.
