We help you decide what tool is better – Vagaro vs Acuity.
We’ve taken a closer look at the main differences between Vagaro and Acuity to help you make a decision. And just to make things more interesting, we’ve thrown Pabau into the mix as well. Here’s a quick rundown of what each one offers.
Vagaro is a cloud-based salon, spa and fitness business management solution that allows professionals to book appointments and manage various facility roles. It offers an integrated solution to manage bookkeeping, payroll, client databases and inventory management.
It’s a fairly affordable option, with prices starting at $25 a month for one user. On top of their monthly fee, you can pay extra for various add-ons to get all the features you need.
Acuity is a robust scheduling tool. It works 24/7 behind the scenes to fill your calendar and take busy work off your plate. Working across any kind of business, Acuity sends automatic branded and customized booking confirmations to clients, delivers text reminders, lets clients reschedule, and processes payments or accepts donations.
Pabau is an all-in-one clinic management software specifically designed for medi aesthetic clinics. With clients all over the world, Pabau provides everything clinics need to reduce time spent on admin, improve the patient experience, and attract new customers. Because it’s purpose-built for med spas, it has key features that this client base will find particularly valuable.
[Pabau] makes things so much easier in terms of your medical records, diary management, your reporting system, and that’s really very important for a business.
The best software understands you, your business, and your challenges. While Vagaro is mostly for the salons, spas, and fitness industry, Acuity is aimed at a range of industries. Meanwhile, Pabau has been built to meet the needs of medi aesthetic operators. That’s why it has features that have been created specifically for this sector, such as automated pre-care and aftercare emails, electronic medical records (EMR), before and after photos, injection plotting, customizable forms, and so on. At Pabau, we get you.
Want to just pay one simple price each month without having to shell out for extras? If you choose Vagaro you’ll pay a monthly fee and then have to pay extra for everything from data storage to forms to a client check-in app. In Pabau, we keep it simple. All the features you need are under one roof, charged at one simple price. You don’t need to worry about all your add-ons adding up.
Want to create detailed patient notes? Need to store and manage patient allergies and contraindications? Want to have all your consent forms and medical questionnaires stored in one easy-to-access location? You won’t get this with most scheduling tools. But Pabau has a robust system for storing electronic medical records (EMR). And because everything’s digital, you won’t have to deal with hundreds of pieces of paper.
Pabau isn’t the cheapest software on the market. But the great thing is you won’t need anything else as, in the words of one of our customers, “Pabau does it all.” Acuity doesn’t have key features such as before and after photos, a CRM, and the ability to digitally sign documents, so you’ll end up having to set aside more budget for other software. This isn’t the case with Pabau. We have everything you need and, because we’re so feature-rich, as your business grows, we’ll grow with you.
Clinics need to collect a LOT of documentation before an appointment, right? With Pabau, you don’t have to break a sweat trying to remember everything. Simply use our app to ensure you have up-to-date health records, signed medical consents, and photos. Not every provider has this functionality, but we know how needed by med spa practitioners. Not only does it protect the client, it also protects your business.
“After 16 years of using about 20 different client management software systems, this is the only one I can honestly say does it all, and does it all very well.”

“Pabau is feature-rich, allowing us functionality to grow as our business needs grow, and at the same time quite intuitive to use. Competing software offerings can’t compete!”
Daniel, Doctor,
G2 review
“I’ve been in business for almost nine years. I’ve tried a lot of different software, but I was always missing some features. This software has everything that saves my time, keeps my records and medical forms in one place, and is easy to use.”
