Vagaro

Vagaro Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Vagaro helps small businesses manage appointments, payments, and client communication, with most users in wellness, cosmetics, and consumer services. Its mobile access and automated reminders stand out, though users often cite support delays and payment limitations. Recent updates like Vagaro AI and Tap to Pay on iPhone show a push toward automation and flexibility.

### Our verdict

Vagaro offers a practical solution for small businesses that need daily appointment scheduling and mobile access. While its automation tools and calendar controls are useful, buyers should expect trade-offs in support responsiveness and payment flexibility. Add-ons like branded apps and payroll expand functionality but may increase costs quickly.

Pros

Very easy to set up an account and log in, let alone to schedule appointments through. Love how despite having different businesses, one account covers multiple.

Cons

It can sometimes be glitchy when logging in, but with a simple force close through the app and restart, it usually fixes it.

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider's website.
