Frequently asked questions
Is Vagaro cheaper than Kuee?
Sticker price yes, real-world price often no. Vagaro starts at $23.99/mo for 1 calendar but adds $20/mo for text, $100/mo for a branded app, and $10/mo per extra user. A 3-staff studio that wants text marketing reaches roughly $74/mo on Vagaro before any branded app. Kuee Starter is $39/mo flat with text and AI features included.
Does Kuee have a payment processor like Vagaro Pay?
Kuee uses Stripe Terminal natively, with the same hardware (Stripe Reader / WisePOS E) and standard Stripe rates. Vagaro Pay offers 2.2% in-person rates which can beat Stripe in some scenarios; if processing volume is high, run the math both ways.
Can I migrate from Vagaro to Kuee?
Yes. Customer profiles, services, and packages import via CSV. Appointment history can be backfilled by the Kuee team during onboarding. Vagaro Pay transaction data stays in Vagaro and does not transfer.
Does Kuee have a customer marketplace like Vagaro?
No. If your business depends on Vagaro's consumer marketplace for net-new clients, that is a real reason to stay. Most independent spas drive bookings from Google Maps, Instagram, and direct referrals — Kuee gives each store an SEO-friendly branded booking page for those channels.
How does AI compare?
Kuee includes an AI phone receptionist that answers calls 24/7, recognizes returning customers by phone number, and books straight into your calendar — on every plan. Vagaro does not currently offer a comparable inbound voice AI.
