Key takeaways
- Schedulicity no longer exists as a separate product — schedulicity.com redirects to Vagaro, which states "Schedulicity is now Vagaro".
- Existing accounts were migrated rather than shut off, so this is an absorption, not a shutdown.
- Vagaro advertises $30/month discounted to $23.99 for migrating users, with processing from 2.2%; pricing scales by bookable calendars.
- Neither Schedulicity nor Vagaro is medical software — no clinical charting, medical consent workflow, photo metadata or lot tracking.
- Med spa platforms start around $148–$176/month, five to seven times the salon tier, and the difference is the clinical record.
- GlossGenius now sells medspa plans at $148 and $248/month, a shorter jump than a full clinical platform.
- Export your client list, appointment history, notes and photos as files before making any decision.
Schedulicity is no longer sold as an independent product. Both schedulicity.com and its pricing page now redirect to Vagaro, and the landing page you arrive at states it plainly.
Existing accounts have been migrated rather than shut off, so this is a rebrand-and-absorb rather than a product being switched off underneath its users. But if you are researching Schedulicity today with a view to buying it, you are really evaluating Vagaro, and that is a different product with a different fit.
What actually changed
The name and the platform. Schedulicity's feature set is gone as a standalone; you are on Vagaro's platform, with Vagaro's roadmap, support and payment processing.
The price. Vagaro's Schedulicity landing page advertises $30 a month, discounted to $23.99, with card processing rates advertised as low as 2.2%. Vagaro's pricing scales by the number of bookable calendars, so a multi-provider practice pays materially more than a solo one — the single headline figure is a starting point, not a quote.
The migration. Vagaro states it manages the switch for transferring customers. Practically, the things worth checking after any migration of this kind are the same every time: that historical appointment records came across intact, that client contact records and consent status transferred, that recurring or membership billing did not silently reset, and that your existing card-on-file tokens still work.
What did not change
The important thing, for this audience, is what neither product does. Schedulicity was salon and appointment software, and so is Vagaro. Neither is medical software:
- No clinical charting or SOAP-style treatment notes
- No medical consent workflow tied to a treatment record
- No before-and-after photo management with clinical metadata
- No injectable batch or lot tracking
- Nothing that constitutes a medical record for HIPAA purposes in the way a clinical platform does
If you run facials, waxing, lashes or massage, that absence is irrelevant and Vagaro is a perfectly reasonable place to land. If you inject, run devices, or take medical histories, it was already a gap before the migration and it remains one now.
What it costs to stay versus move
Vagaro sits in the salon-software price band. Med spa platforms sit roughly five to seven times higher, and the gap is not margin — it is the clinical layer.
At $24 to $30 a month you are buying a calendar, payments and marketing. At $148 to $176 you are buying those plus a clinical record. A single-treatment-room facialist rarely needs the second thing. A practice with an injector almost always does.
Worth knowing: GlossGenius now sells dedicated medspa plans — Practice Essentials at $148/month and Practice Advanced at $248/month, billed annually — which puts a genuine clinical option inside a brand many salon owners already know. That is a shorter jump than moving to a full clinical platform.
Should you stay on Vagaro?
Stay if your services are non-medical, you are price-sensitive, and the migration went cleanly. Vagaro is a mature, widely used platform and the marketplace exposure is a real acquisition channel that most clinical platforms do not offer.
Move if any of these are true:
- You inject, or you have added a device
- You are being asked for records you cannot produce from your booking system
- You have more than one location and are managing them as separate accounts
- Your consent forms live on paper, in a separate app, or in a shared drive
If you are moving, the honest sequence is to decide what clinical requirements you actually have before shopping — our buying guide for med spa software sets out the questions, and what med spa software costs covers the budget side. For the specific trade-off you are making, see salon software versus med spa software.
A note on migrating away
Whatever you decide, export before you decide. Client lists, appointment history, notes and any photos should be in your possession as files, not merely visible inside a platform. Retention obligations for treatment records outlive your relationship with any software vendor, and the moment to establish that you can get your data out is before you need it, not during a cancellation conversation.
See our full Vagaro review and the Schedulicity record for the detail on both, and the booking and payments category for alternatives.
Frequently asked questions
Is Schedulicity shutting down?
Not shutting down — absorbed. Schedulicity is now Vagaro: both schedulicity.com and its pricing page redirect to Vagaro, and Vagaro states that existing Schedulicity customers have been migrated onto its platform and that it manages the switch. Your account has not been switched off, but the product you signed up for no longer exists as a separate thing.
What does Vagaro cost after the Schedulicity migration?
The Schedulicity landing page on Vagaro advertises $30 a month discounted to $23.99, with card processing rates advertised as low as 2.2%. Vagaro prices by the number of bookable calendars, so a multi-provider practice pays more than that headline figure. Treat the advertised rate as a starting point and confirm your own total against the number of calendars you need.
Is Vagaro suitable for a medical spa?
For non-medical services, yes — it is a mature booking, payments and marketing platform with a consumer marketplace that generates real bookings. For medical aesthetics it has the same gap Schedulicity had: no clinical charting, no medical consent workflow tied to the treatment record, no clinical photo management and no injectable lot tracking. If you inject or run devices, you need a clinical platform alongside or instead.
What should I check after the migration?
Confirm that historical appointment records transferred intact, that client contact details and consent status came across, that recurring or membership billing did not reset, and that saved card-on-file tokens still work. Then export your client list, appointment history and any notes or photos as files you hold yourself — you want that capability established before you ever need it.
What are the alternatives if I want to leave?
It depends on whether you need a clinical record. Staying in the salon tier, Fresha and GlossGenius Standard are the obvious comparisons. Moving to medical aesthetics, GlossGenius Practice Essentials ($148/month) is the shortest jump, while Boulevard ($176/month), Mangomint ($165/month) and AestheticsPro ($160/month) are purpose-built clinical platforms. Decide your clinical requirements first, then shop.
