Squire charges per shop, not per chair — three barbers on Pro cost the same $50 as one, and that is a real point in its favour. But the thing a customer actually reads before they book is a $25-a-month add-on on top of the plan, and it does not stop. Here is what a three-chair shop pays over three years at Squire’s own November 2026 prices, next to a page that costs $49 once.
Squire’s pricing page lists four plans, priced per shop rather than per barber:
Two things follow from that list. The first is in Squire’s favour and we will not pretend otherwise: a barber costs nothing to add. A three-chair shop on Pro pays $50 where Booksy charges $69.99 and Fresha charges $44.85 — Squire sits in the middle and is the only one of the three that does not price a shop by how many people work in it. The second is that the page is an add-on. The calendar, the client records, the reminders and the payments are the plan; the thing a new client reads at 11pm is the $25. On a $50 plan that is a 50% surcharge for the part with no software in it.
Card processing is on top on both sides and is left out rather than pretended away: Squire’s processor charges its own rate on every card, and moving the page off a subscription does not change that. The add-on is the line this comparison is about, because it is the one that buys a page rather than a calendar.
Same job, two products: putting your cuts, your prices and your phone number where a client looks before they book.
| Squire | ShopLaunch | |
|---|---|---|
| List price today | $30 / $50 / $150 / $250 a month, per shop | $49 / $199 / $499, once |
| What you pay in year 2 | $600 at Pro, plus $300 for the page | $0 |
| Charged per barber | No — a barber costs nothing to add | $0 per person, always |
| The customer-facing page | $25 a month on top of the plan ($900 over three years) | Included, and it is a file you keep |
| Fees on your sales | No Squire commission published; card processing is its processor’s rate | None — we do not touch your sales |
| Calendar, deposits, reminders | Yes — this is what the plan is for | No. The Book button opens the calendar you have |
| Client list and visit history | Yes | No. We collect no client data at all |
| Commission and payroll for a team | Yes | No |
| Term | Monthly prices on its pricing page; ask what term applies before you sign | No contract |
| Leaving early | Nothing to cancel on a monthly plan — ask about annual terms | Nothing to cancel |
| Where the page lives | Inside Squire, tied to the subscription | A URL and files you keep |
| Time to live | Sign up, import your services, go live | 24 hours from a completed form |
Squire figures are the monthly list prices on getsquire.com/pricing, read 11 November 2026, single shop, before tax and before card processing. Executive and Titan exist for busier and multi-location shops; a three-chair shop rarely needs either, and they are here so the top of Squire’s range is not hidden.
This page would be dishonest if it claimed to replace the product. It replaces one line on the invoice.
If you are buying a booking system this month, buy one — a calendar is a real product and we do not sell it. The question worth asking is narrower: is the page line on your Squire bill doing anything a file cannot? If the answer is no, that is the $25 that can go, and $900 over three years stays where it is.
The same job the $25-a-month add-on is sold for — a page a client reads before they book — built as a file you keep. Scroll it in the frame, then open it on your phone.

Nothing on that page holds a calendar. The Book button opens whatever booking address the shop already uses — for this sample, a plain call button. That is the whole point: the page is the part you own, the calendar stays wherever it already works.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back files and a live link.
One form, five minutes. Live the next business day. No app for you or your clients, no monthly fee, and no cut of a booking.
The page and the price list are the Local Pack. Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews.
Less than two months of the cheapest booking app.
Page + menu + posters + posts.
Everything, plus 30 days of us on call.

For the customer-facing page, yes. For the calendar, no. We do not sell a booking system, card payments, deposits or reminders, so a shop that needs those keeps Squire — or Booksy, Fresha, a paper diary — and buys the page from us. The comparison here is between Squire’s $25 a month page add-on and a one-time page.
Yes, and it is the fairest of the three on that measure: Pro is $50 a month for one shop with any number of chairs, where Booksy charges $20 a month for every extra barber and Fresha charges for every bookable person. Our point is not that Squire is expensive per chair. It is that the page is an add-on on top of a plan you already pay for, and it never stops.
That is a question for Squire, in writing — the add-on is theirs to switch on and off, and what happens to the page depends on which plan you are on. Ask what your bill becomes if you keep the calendar and drop the landing pages, before you change anything. Our page then links to the same Squire booking address and nothing in your account changes.
Yes. The Book button opens the booking address you give us — your Squire booking link, or a specific service page. Nothing is migrated, nothing is re-entered and no slot is double-booked, because our page never holds a calendar.
Probably nothing, feature for feature. Squire’s add-on is a page on Squire, which is exactly what a shop that wants one invoice should buy. What differs is the $900 over three years and who holds the file afterwards. If you want everything in one account, keep the add-on — this page is for the shop that would rather stop renting the front door.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, takes it on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there, never on this site, and they handle the receipt and the tax. We never see your card number.
