This page is the book, not the phone
Setmore vs an AI phone receptionist keeps Setmore as the calendar and adds AIVA on the shop line. Do not use that page to price nail salon booking software. This page is the other fork: Setmore pricing and staff seats versus Bukkii Calendar.
A shop that still fits Setmore Free does not need a second book. The compare moves to paid plans when a fifth tech starts on Saturdays. On Setmore Pro, that person is another per-user charge. On Bukkii’s $20 plan, the staff list does not change the price. The public page is still gel, dip, fill, acrylic, a tech, and a time. The register you already close tickets on can stay. We do not claim a native two-way sync into Setmore.
Setmore pricing
Setmore’s Free plan is more generous than Bukkii Calendar Free. The paid compare is the per-user meter below. The ranking page for those prices is Setmore pricing. We fetched setmore.com/pricing on September 25, 2026. Numbers are copied from that page.
| Plan on the live page | Seat rule | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| Free — “Start Free” | Up to 4 users | $0 per user / month |
| Pro — “Get Pro” | Unlimited users, still billed per user | Pro is $12 per user/month billed monthly, or $5 per user/month billed annually. |
Source: setmore.com/pricing, fetched September 25, 2026. Their FAQ: a user is each staff member with their own profile. Each staff calendar counts as a user even if the owner or assignee does not have login permission. The hub table with Mangomint beside this is nail salon booking software pricing.
What “unlimited users” means on their Pro card
Pro removes the four-user cap. It does not remove the per-user meter. A booth renter who only works Saturday still has a staff calendar, and Setmore’s own definition counts that calendar. A front-of-house profile with no login still counts. That is the sentence to read before you add the next tech.
Free is a real $0 card, up to 4 users, and it includes Reserve with Google. That Free plan is more generous than Bukkii Calendar Free. A shop that stays inside 4 users is not overpaying for seats. The compare starts when the fifth calendar would push you onto Pro’s per-user price, or when Pro’s per-user bill is the thing you are trying to stop.
Calendar pricing
Calendar is free for up to 3 staff. $20/month unlocks unlimited staff and customers, plus Reserve with Google. Free includes the booking website. Email reminders come with the $20 plan. Guests who already found the shop on Maps get a Book Online button after Google approves the listing. Bukkii submits that profile during onboarding. Google’s review is typically 7–14 business days.
There is no per-tech line on this plan. Adding Mai for fills, or a front desk name that only manages the book, does not add a user fee. Start Calendar free. The product page is online booking. The Maps writeup is Google Reserve for nail salons. The calendar hub is nail salon online booking calendar.
Setmore’s comparison table, on the same September 25 fetch, marks Reserve with Google yes under both plan columns, including Free. Setmore’s Free plan includes it. Reserve with Google comes with the $20 plan. We do not claim their button, review time, or partner setup matches Bukkii’s. The paid compare is Calendar at $20 with unlimited staff and customers against Setmore’s per-user plans.

When Setmore is still the right book
Keep Setmore if the floor already lives in it, the seat count fits the plan you pay, and you are not shopping for a second calendar. A booking page that the techs already trust is worth more than a migration. This compare is for the owner whose bill moves every time a chair is added.
The same seat question on Mangomint — base plus per profile, not Setmore’s user card — is Mangomint vs Bukkii Calendar. The pattern, without a brand name in the headline, is a booking calendar that does not charge per staff seat.
If the leak is the phone, leave this page

Calendar will not pick up a ringing Google number during a fill. AIVA is $200 one-time. No free trial. AIVA answers the phone. Setmore’s booking page does not.
