Most booking software charges per staff member, so your bill grows every time you hire. We charge flat, work with the channels your customers already use, and skip the bits you'd never touch.

Figures are typical NZ market rates for per-seat booking platforms. If you've got 2+ team members, the maths usually favours flat pricing.
These ship to your existing plan at no extra cost. We'll email you as each one goes live. Today's prices already cover them.
Roadmap dates aren't promises, but everything here is in active development. Buy what's live today; the rest arrives as a free upgrade.
No, not to start, and not to trial. The Free plan needs no payment details, and every paid plan begins with a 14-day no-card trial of the full Growth toolkit. You only add a card if you choose to stay on a paid plan when the trial ends; otherwise you roll onto Free automatically.
Yes, that's the point. Every plan, including Free, comes with a real bookable website built from your Google listing, live on yoursalon.suddenly.co.nz. Pop in your business name and suburb, add your services, and it's live in minutes. No $3,000 build and no separate web subscription. Add your own photos from Starter, and your own domain (mysalon.co.nz) on Pro.
Your widget lets customers know online bookings are temporarily unavailable and directs them to call you, and you'll see an upgrade prompt in your dashboard. Bookings reset on the first of each calendar month.
Save about 20% (≈2.4 months) on every paid plan: $72/$168/$312 a year on Starter/Growth/Pro. Billed annually in advance via Stripe. Switch between monthly and annual any time from your dashboard.
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. You keep access until the end of your billing period with no extra charges.
Nothing breaks and you're never charged by surprise. There's no card on file, so the trial can't auto-convert. At day 14 your account simply moves to the Free plan. Keep Growth, switch to the plan you picked, or stay on Free. Upgrade whenever you're ready.
Each completed booking through your widget or standalone booking page counts as one. Bookings reset at the start of each calendar month.
Both are live. Email confirmations and reminders are unlimited on every plan, including Free. SMS confirmations and reminders are included on every paid plan. Starter, Growth and Pro each carry a monthly text allowance, sent from a New Zealand number with your business name in the message. Customers can reply STOP to opt out anytime.
100%. Prices are in NZD, the assistant uses NZ English, and everything is tuned for the NZ market.
