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 9.99 per month (EUR 99.90 per year) and Pro is EUR 14.99 per month (EUR 149.90 per year). There is no marketplace commission on your bookings. On payments you pay the standard fees of your own Stripe or Mollie account, plus Salonnare's own platform fee of 0.5% (min. EUR 0.30) per transaction.

According to their pricing page, Tattoo Studio Pro starts at 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 moves to a paid plan after a 30-day free trial.

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 applies Dutch VAT (21% and 9%, set per treatment and product) and you export the sales per VAT rate for your bookkeeper.

Tattoo Studio Pro is an English-language tool priced in US dollars. iDEAL, Bancontact and Dutch VAT logic are not mentioned on their site; card payments run through Stripe. For a studio in the Netherlands or Belgium, that saves daily hassle.

Features and ease of use

Besides a calendar and deposits, Salonnare offers: 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 9 languages (NL/EN/DE/FR/ES/IT/PL/PT/TR). 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 data kept separate per salon), 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 marketplace commission: you keep control of your data and your margins. Check the pricing and start today without a credit card.

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 marketplace 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 an accounting export for your bookkeeper, 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.
