Start with the fixed subscription
Record the base monthly or annual charge, whether VAT is included, which features are available and whether the price changes with staff or locations. Annual discounts can lower cost but reduce flexibility.
Identify every variable charge
Marketplace commission, payment processing and SMS usage grow with activity. They are not automatically bad: a marketplace fee can be worthwhile when it produces profitable new clients. The important point is to model them honestly.
- Commission on marketplace-introduced clients
- Online and in-person payment processing
- Extra staff, locations or calendars
- SMS reminders and marketing messages
- Hardware, onboarding and migration
- Optional boosted visibility or advertising
Model three realistic months
Calculate a quiet month, a normal month and a busy month. Use your average service value and expected mix of existing versus marketplace clients. This shows whether costs remain acceptable as the diary changes.
Also value staff time. A cheaper system that causes duplicated admin may cost more than its invoice suggests.
Compare Veladuno’s published price
Veladuno currently offers a £7.99 monthly Founder Price after a 14-day trial. It publishes no setup fee, booking commission or long-term contract.
That simple price reflects a narrower product: the live system focuses on staff-managed salon administration and does not claim a consumer marketplace or verified public self-booking page.
Recheck pricing before signing up
Provider terms change. Use official pricing pages, confirm VAT treatment and review the final checkout amount before committing. Do not rely on an old comparison article when the provider publishes current information directly.
