Salonnare vs Tattoo Studio Pro - which fits your studio?

Pricing and cost model

Salonnare starts at EUR 0 per month with the free plan (1 staff member, 50 bookings per month, no credit card required). After that, Starter is EUR 29 per month (EUR 348 per year) and Pro is EUR 59 per month (EUR 708 per year). There is no commission on your bookings and no lock-in. According to their pricing page, Tattoo Studio Pro starts at approximately USD 29 per month for the Solo plan.^[1] That is a US dollar rate; factor in exchange rates and possible VAT differences. Salonnare offers a genuine free entry tier, while Tattoo Studio Pro indicatively starts with a paid plan right away.

Built for the Netherlands and Belgium

Salonnare is NL/BE-first. Clients pay natively with iDEAL (via Stripe Connect and Mollie), Bancontact, SumUp and card. The point of sale automatically applies Dutch VAT (21% on services, 9% on retail) and you export an Auditfile for the Dutch tax authority. Tattoo Studio Pro is an English-language tool for the US market. iDEAL, Bancontact and Dutch VAT logic are not part of the core of such a US product. For a studio in the Netherlands or Belgium, that saves daily hassle.

Features and ease of use

Salonnare offers far more than a calendar and deposits: client records, inventory management, email marketing and campaigns, recurring memberships (SEPA/iDEAL), gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees, forms and intake, a GDPR Article 9 health data vault, GDPR export and CSV import. The software is available in 5 languages (NL/EN/DE/FR/ES). The modern interface also means fast onboarding: new staff and interns are typically productive within an hour. Clients book through an embeddable widget on your own website or via your own booking page with your own logo and branding. They pick one or more treatments, see time slots per staff member and book in just a few clicks. You keep 100% of your own branding and data ownership (your own tenant database), with no marketplace pushing competitors to your clients.

Switching to Salonnare

Switching does not have to be a barrier. With CSV import you move your existing client list to Salonnare in one go. You start for free, set up your features and only pay for Starter or Pro as your studio grows. No lock-in and no commission: you keep control of your data and your margins.

Conclusion: why Salonnare wins

Tattoo Studio Pro is fully tailored to the tattoo niche. If you work exclusively as a tattoo artist in the US, with English-speaking clients and USD payments, that specific tattoo workflow (consent forms, deposits and ink-focused client profiles) is worth considering. For salons and studios in the Netherlands and Belgium, Salonnare wins on the points that matter every day. You pay no commission and start for free (EUR 0) instead of going straight to a paid plan in dollars. Clients pay natively with iDEAL and Bancontact, your point of sale handles Dutch VAT (21%/9%) with Auditfile export for the Dutch tax authority, and you get Dutch-language support on EU servers (GDPR). On top of that, everything is in one price: online booking, POS, inventory, marketing automation, memberships, gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and forms, with no extra costs. That is not a niche tool but a complete salon ERP that grows with you.
