This page is the book, not the phone
Setmore vs an AI phone receptionist keeps Setmore as the calendar and adds AIVA on the shop line. Do not use that page to price nail salon booking software. This page is the other fork: Setmore pricing and staff seats versus Bukkii Calendar — $20/month.
A four-chair nail salon feels the difference when a fifth tech starts on Saturdays. On a per-user book, that person is another seat. On Calendar, the staff list does not change the $20. The public page is still gel, dip, fill, acrylic, a tech, and a time. The register you already close tickets on can stay. We do not claim a native two-way sync into Setmore.
Setmore pricing
Setmore pricing, for a nail salon deciding on the book, is the staff-user meter below. This section is the pricing answer. It is not a separate Setmore pricing page. We fetched setmore.com/pricing on September 22, 2026. Numbers are copied from that page.
| Plan on the live page | Seat rule | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| Free — “Start Free” | Up to 4 users | $0 per user / month |
| Pro — “Get Pro” | Unlimited users, still billed per user | Navigation prints $5* per user / month, marked annual pricing. The Pro card also prints $12 and $5 per user / month. Helper copy says “pro plan $5 per month” under annual billing, and also “team $5 per month” in that same sentence. We do not relabel those figures into a monthly-vs-annual table the page does not print cleanly. |
Source: setmore.com/pricing, fetched September 22, 2026. Their FAQ: a user is each staff member with their own profile. Each staff calendar counts as a user even if the owner or assignee does not have login permission. The hub table with Mangomint beside this is nail salon booking software pricing.
What “unlimited users” means on their Pro card
Pro removes the four-user cap. It does not remove the per-user meter. A booth renter who only works Saturday still has a staff calendar, and Setmore’s own definition counts that calendar. A front-of-house profile with no login still counts. That is the sentence to read before you add the next tech.
Free is a real $0 card, capped at 4 users. A shop that stays inside that cap is not overpaying for seats. The compare starts when the fifth calendar would push you onto Pro’s per-user price, or when Pro’s per-user bill is the thing you are trying to stop.
Calendar — $20/month — unlimited staff and Google Reserve
Bukkii Calendar is one monthly price: $20. Unlimited staff. Unlimited customers. Included: a booking website, email reminders, and Google Reserve. Guests who already found the shop on Maps get a Book Online button after Google approves the listing. Bukkii submits that profile during onboarding. Google’s review is typically 7–14 business days.
There is no per-tech line on this plan. Adding Mai for fills, or a front desk name that only manages the book, does not add a user fee. Get Calendar — $20/mo. The product page is online booking. The Maps writeup is Google Reserve for nail salons. The calendar hub is nail salon online booking calendar.
Setmore’s comparison table, on the same September 22 fetch, marks Reserve with Google yes under both plan columns. We report that checkmark. We do not claim their button, review time, or partner setup matches Bukkii’s. If Google on the listing is the job you are buying, read both offers as booking features — and read Calendar’s price as $20 flat, not per seat.
| Job | Setmore (live page) | Bukkii Calendar |
|---|---|---|
| Public booking page | Yes — that is the product | Yes — booking website on the $20 plan |
| Staff meter | Per user. Free caps at 4. Pro is unlimited users, still per user. | Unlimited staff. Unlimited customers. No per-seat fee. |
| Google booking button | Their table marks Reserve with Google yes on both columns | Google Reserve included at $20/month |
| Shop phone | Not this product. Live Receptionist is a separate plan with no dollar on that row. | Does not answer the phone |
| Price shape | See the table above — per user | $20/month |
When Setmore is still the right book
Keep Setmore if the floor already lives in it, the seat count fits the plan you pay, and you are not shopping for a second calendar. A booking page that the techs already trust is worth more than a migration. This compare is for the owner whose bill moves every time a chair is added.
The same seat question on Mangomint — base plus per profile, not Setmore’s user card — is Mangomint vs Bukkii Calendar. The pattern, without a brand name in the headline, is a booking calendar that does not charge per staff seat.
If the leak is the phone, leave this page
Setmore’s pricing page lists Live Receptionist as real people on a separate plan, available in the US. No dollar is printed on that row. We do not invent one. That row is also not Bukkii Calendar. Calendar will not pick up a ringing Google number during a fill.
The phone layer is AIVA: $200 one-time, no monthly plan fee, no free trial. Get AIVA — $200. The full phone compare stays on Setmore vs an AI phone receptionist. Mangomint’s phone fork is Mangomint vs an AI phone receptionist. Hear AIVA at (215) 791-6766.
