We have some good news. As of today, Zivly is permanently lowering its Team plan pricing for Canadian salon, spa, and barbershop owners. No promotional asterisks. No "introductory period" fine print. The new price is just the price - and it's lower.
Here's what changed: the Team plan drops from CA$13.99 to CA$10.99 per service provider per month. Everything else stays exactly the same - unlimited bookings, free front desk staff, the full feature set, 24/7 support. (And if you're running solo, the Solo plan is now free - more on that below.)
Why Are We Lowering Prices?
Honestly? Because we can, and because it's the right thing to do.
When we built Zivly, the goal was to give independent salons and growing teams access to enterprise-quality booking software without the enterprise price tag. Over the past year, we've grown our user base, improved our infrastructure efficiency, and found ways to operate leaner - so we're passing those savings directly to our customers.
We've also watched too many Canadian salon owners get squeezed by US-based software companies charging in USD, hiding fees in add-ons, and raising prices quietly after year one. That's not how we want to run things. Transparent pricing, in Canadian dollars, that actually goes down when we find room to lower it - that's the Zivly model.
What the New Pricing Means for Your Business
For solo practitioners (hairstylists, estheticians, nail techs)
Update: since this post first went up, we've gone a step further for solo practitioners - the Solo plan is now free, up to 300 bookings a month, no credit card required. Read the full announcement in Our Solo Plan Is Now Free - Forever.
For salons, spas, and barbershops with a team
The Team plan at CA$10.99 per service provider per month means a 3-stylist salon pays just $32.97/month total. A 5-person team: $54.95/month. And remember - front desk staff and receptionists don't count toward that number. They're always free.
To put that in perspective: if your team runs even one extra appointment per month because of Zivly's automated reminders and online booking, the software pays for itself many times over.
How Does This Compare to Other Salon Software in Canada?
Most salon software on the Canadian market falls into one of two buckets: cheap-looking tools with limited features, or expensive platforms built for US markets that charge you in USD and bill you for every add-on. Zivly sits in a different place entirely - full-featured, built for Canada, priced in CAD, with no hidden fees.
Here's the honest comparison:
- Competitors charging per feature - platforms that charge base fees plus add-ons for reminders, marketing, reporting, and integrations can easily hit CA$80–150+/month for what Zivly includes in the flat rate
- USD-priced tools - a software that looks like $29 USD/month is actually ~$40 CAD today, and that number moves with the exchange rate
- Zivly Team at CA$10.99/staff - all features included, priced in CAD, no exchange rate risk
The "Lock In Before September 30" Part - What Does That Mean?
We're launching this pricing drop with a limited-time enrollment window. If you sign up or upgrade to a paid plan before September 30, 2026, you lock in these rates. We plan to continue these prices beyond that date, but the Sept 30 deadline is your guarantee - sign up before then and your rate is confirmed no matter what.
If you're already a Zivly customer on a paid plan, your rate updates automatically - nothing you need to do.
What You Get (The Full Picture)
Just to be clear about what's included on the Team plan at this new price - because "affordable" shouldn't mean stripped-down:
- Unlimited appointments and bookings
- Online booking widget for your website or social media
- Client management and full appointment history
- Automated SMS and email reminders (50 free transactional SMS/month)
- Marketing email campaigns (100 free/month)
- Payment processing via Stripe (2.9% + $0.30, standard rates)
- Inventory management
- Analytics and reporting
- Commission and payroll tracking (Team plan)
- 24/7 customer support
- Free software updates - always
Front desk staff and receptionists are free on both plans. You only pay for service providers - the people who have their own calendar and take appointments.
