Linden OS vs Vagaro
Vagaro is an affordable generalist for salons, spas and studios with a broad feature set and a marketplace. It’s great value, but it’s not a clinical system and leans on add-on fees, with a dated experience as you scale.
At a glance
Booking pages from $49 · the full clinical platform from $199 · Lin, the AI front desk, is in limited release and available on request.
Low base rate, but email, forms and text features add per-item fees.
