Salonnare vs TattooPro - which salon software fits your studio?

Pricing and cost model

Salonnare uses a clear, predictable subscription. You start on the free plan for EUR 0 per month (1 staff member, 50 bookings per month), with no credit card required. From there you choose Starter at EUR 29 per month (EUR 348 per year) or Pro at EUR 59 per month (EUR 708 per year). No commission on your revenue and no lock-in. TattooPro communicates a subscription model but does not always publish fixed monthly prices in the way EU buyers expect.^[1] Plan for a paid subscription as a rough estimate; check the exact rates and currency on their own pricing page. The main difference is upfront transparency: with Salonnare you see the full rate overview directly on the pricing page, including the free entry point that lets you start risk-free.

Built for the Dutch and Belgian market

This is where Salonnare really stands out. The software runs on EU servers (Frankfurt and Amsterdam) and is fully GDPR-compliant. Payments flow through your own Stripe or Mollie account, so Salonnare takes no margin: you only pay the standard provider fees. iDEAL is natively supported (via both Stripe Connect and Mollie), alongside Bancontact, SumUp and card payments. The point of sale calculates Dutch VAT (21 percent on services, 9 percent on retail) and produces an Auditfile export for the Dutch tax authority. TattooPro is built internationally and lacks this specific NL/BE focus, such as native iDEAL and a tax-authority-ready accounting export. For a studio that works in euros, with iDEAL and Dutch VAT returns, that saves time and hassle every month.

Features and ease of use

Both tools cover the basics: online booking, point of sale and reminders. Salonnare goes further with client records, inventory management, email marketing and campaigns, recurring memberships (via SEPA and iDEAL), gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and deposits, plus forms and intake. For sensitive health data there is a GDPR Article 9 health-data vault and a GDPR export. All of it is included in the subscription, with no add-on modules to buy separately. The booking page carries your own branding and logo, and you embed the widget on your own website with ease. You keep your data in your own tenant database, with no marketplace pushing your clients toward competitors. Clients pick one or more treatments, see time slots per staff member and book in a few clicks. Explore all features for the complete overview.

Switching to Salonnare

Migrating does not have to be a barrier. Salonnare offers a CSV import so you can bring along your existing client base and data. You start risk-free on the free plan, set up your treatments, staff and calendar, and only upgrade as your studio grows. The modern interface is quick to learn, so new staff and trainees are productive within an hour. Because there is no lock-in and no commission, you keep full control over your data and your payment flow. Need help with the switch? Our Dutch-language support during office hours is happy to assist.

Conclusion: why Salonnare wins

Fair is fair: TattooPro is purpose-built for the tattoo niche, which gives it deep, tattoo-specific consent forms. If you run a purely international tattoo studio that only wants those niche workflows, TattooPro is worth considering. For the Dutch and Belgian market, however, Salonnare is the better choice, and that is no hollow claim. You get native iDEAL and Bancontact, a point of sale with Dutch VAT (21/9 percent) and a tax-authority-ready Auditfile export, EU servers with full GDPR compliance and Dutch-language support. You pay a fixed, low rate (from EUR 0) with no commission and no lock-in, while your data stays in your own tenant database. And with the forms and intake feature you cover consent and intake just fine. A complete salon ERP tuned to your market matters more, for most studios, than a single niche feature.
