What is hard about this work
You are the front desk
When you are in a session, the phone rings and the booking is lost. Adding a virtual assistant costs $200-400/mo on top of software.
Per-user pricing punishes solo work
Most platforms charge per staff member (Vagaro $10/user, Fresha $14.95/team-member). Solo practitioners pay the same overhead infrastructure cost as a 5-staff studio with much less revenue to absorb it.
Free tiers leave you naked on packages and forms
Square Free is great until you sell a 10-session package and realize there is no way to track decrement. Or until a client needs an intake form and you scramble for a Google Doc.
Looking professional matters
Sending a SMS reminder from a generic Twilio number, or a confirmation from "noreply@booking-app.com" undermines the trust you are trying to build.
How Kuee solves it
Flat $69/mo, no per-user fees
Kuee Solo is one price for one location regardless of how many staff you have. Today you are solo. Next year if you add a part-timer, no plan change needed.
AI phone receptionist included
Forwards your business number to an AI that answers, recognizes returning customers, checks availability, and books straight in. No virtual assistant fee, no missed-call voicemail tag.
Branded everything
Branded booking page (yourbusiness.kuee.io or custom domain). Branded SMS reminders ("From [Your Studio]"). Branded confirmation emails. Looks like a real business, not a SaaS form.
Package management included
Sell a series, track decrement automatically, set expiration. Critical for survival as a solo practitioner — most of your revenue is repeat client packages.
Customer notes that survive between sessions
Free-text per appointment plus important-info per customer. The next session you do not have to remember "left shoulder, deep, no oils" — it is right there.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kuee overkill for a solo therapist?
No — Kuee Solo is built for solo practitioners specifically. The chain-level features (multi-store, advanced reporting, per-store permissions) live on the Team plan and are not in your way on Solo.
Compared to Square Appointments Free, why pay $69?
Square Free covers basic scheduling but has no package management, no AI phone receptionist, and ties you to Square Pay (2.6% in-person). Kuee Solo adds the package module that most therapists actually live on, plus the AI receptionist that captures missed calls. If your practice survives on packages and phone bookings, the math usually works out in Kuee's favor within the first month.
How do I take card payments?
Stripe Terminal — order a Stripe Reader for $59 or use the WisePOS E. Standard Stripe rates apply (~2.7% in-person, 2.9% online). Tap-to-pay supported.
Can I run my business from my phone?
Yes. Kuee's mobile workspace lets you check today's schedule, take notes between sessions, mark appointments complete, and process payments — all from the phone in your pocket.
What if I add a second therapist later?
Stay on Solo — no plan change needed. Solo supports unlimited staff at one location. Move to Team only when you open a second location.
