specification: API Commons Plans specificationVersion: '0.1' schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/interface-research/main/schema/api-commons.yml#/$defs/Plans provider: Phorest providerId: phorest created: '2026-07-03' modified: '2026-07-03' reconciled: false tags: - Salon Software - Spa Software - Business Management - Plans description: >- Phorest sells its salon/spa management platform on a per-business, quote-based subscription - not a published self-serve price list. Salon/spa businesses choose among Starter, Grow, Complete Advantage (Phorest's "most popular" tier), and Elite; med-spa businesses choose between Core Aesthetics and Elevate Aesthetics. All tiers include unlimited devices and unlimited staff logins; higher tiers add online reputation management, staff goals, client referrals, salon-branded iOS/Android apps, two-way SMS, and memberships. Every plan meters outbound SMS at a discounted per-message rate, with a monthly free-SMS allowance that scales by tier. The Phorest API itself carries no separate published fee - it operates against the same account and business/branch data the salon already pays for - but third-party software vendors integrating with Phorest as a partner may be charged an integration fee, and Phorest separately charges a small per-booking fee on bookings made through Online Booking. notes: >- Exact monthly prices are not published; Phorest requires a sales conversation and quote based on business size, location count, and selected modules. Figures here are reconstructed from Phorest's public pricing page tier/feature descriptions and third-party pricing writeups, not from an official rate card - verify current tiers and rates directly with Phorest sales during reconciliation. sources: - https://www.phorest.com/us/pricing/ - https://support.phorest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018509300-Getting-Started-with-Phorest-API - https://support.phorest.com/hc/en-us/categories/7555147411218-Integrations-Phorest-API plans: - id: phorest-starter name: Starter type: paid description: >- Entry salon/spa tier - appointment scheduling, point of sale, online booking, and core marketing tools, billed on a custom quote. entries: - label: Monthly Subscription name: starter_subscription type: flat metric: business limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: custom quote (third-party estimates place entry pricing around $69-150/mo) userMultiplied: false - label: SMS name: starter_sms type: usage metric: messages limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: "~5 cents per SMS above included allowance" userMultiplied: false elements: - name: Unlimited Devices - name: Unlimited Staff - name: Appointment Scheduling - name: Point of Sale - name: Online Booking - name: Marketing Tools - id: phorest-grow name: Grow type: paid description: >- Adds digital consultation forms, loyalty programs, an online store, and expert recommendations on top of Starter. entries: - label: Monthly Subscription name: grow_subscription type: flat metric: business limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: custom quote userMultiplied: false elements: - name: Digital Consultation Forms - name: Loyalty Program - name: Online Store - name: Expert Recommendations - name: Increased Free SMS Allowance - id: phorest-complete-advantage name: Complete Advantage type: paid description: >- Phorest's "most popular" salon/spa tier - adds online reputation management, staff goals, and client referrals. entries: - label: Monthly Subscription name: complete_advantage_subscription type: flat metric: business limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: custom quote userMultiplied: false elements: - name: Online Reputation Management - name: Staff Goals - name: Client Referrals - id: phorest-elite name: Elite type: paid description: >- Top salon/spa tier - salon-branded iOS/Android apps, two-way SMS, and memberships. entries: - label: Monthly Subscription name: elite_subscription type: flat metric: business limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: custom quote userMultiplied: false elements: - name: Salon-Branded iOS/Android App - name: Two-Way SMS - name: Memberships - name: Highest Free SMS Allowance - id: phorest-medspa name: Core Aesthetics / Elevate Aesthetics (MedSpa) type: paid description: >- Parallel two-tier MedSpa product line, mirroring the salon/spa Starter-to-Elite progression but tailored to injectables/aesthetics workflows. entries: - label: Monthly Subscription name: medspa_subscription type: flat metric: business limit: -1 timeFrame: month geo: global unit: 1 price: custom quote userMultiplied: false elements: - name: Aesthetics-Specific Charting - name: Consent Forms - name: Membership and Package Management - id: phorest-api-access name: Phorest API Access (Partner-Gated) type: addon description: >- Access to the Phorest third-party API is requested through Phorest support and layered on top of an existing subscription; there is no separate published API subscription fee for the salon.
