How we score & test vendors

Every reviewed vendor gets an independent MSVH Score. Here's exactly how we research, score, and disclose — so you can trust what you read.

Med Spa Vendor Hub reviews are written and scored by our editorial team using a consistent, weighted rubric. Scores are independent: vendors cannot pay for a higher score or ranking. Where a listing is sponsored or contains an affiliate link, it is clearly labelled and that status never influences the score.

The MSVH Score (1.0–5.0)

The overall score is a weighted average of five criteria:

Features & functionality

25%

Depth and breadth of capabilities for a med spa — scheduling, EMR/charting, payments/POS, memberships, marketing, reporting.

Ease of use & UX

20%

How quickly a front desk, injector, and owner can work in the product day to day; onboarding friction and interface quality.

Value & pricing transparency

20%

What you get for the price, how predictable costs are, per-location/add-on fees, and how openly pricing is published.

Med-spa / aesthetics fit

20%

Aesthetics-specific strength: clinical charting, before-&-after imaging, consents, injectables & device workflows, memberships, and compliance.

Support & onboarding

15%

Quality and availability of implementation help, training, and ongoing support.

Independent research

We assess each tool from hands-on use where possible, plus official documentation, live pricing pages, demos, and verified customer feedback.

Cited third-party ratings

We display scores from platforms like G2, Capterra and Trustpilot with attribution and links. Those are shown as context — they are not our score and we never republish them as our own aggregate rating.

Kept current

Each review carries a "last tested" date and is revisited as products and pricing change. Pricing is directional — always confirm current rates with the vendor.

No pay-to-play

Sponsorship and affiliate relationships are always disclosed and never affect scores, rankings within a comparison, or whether a tool is recommended.
