Want a deeper dive? Here's how salonMonster stacks up.
Public product and pricing information reviewed October 7, 2026. salonMonster bills in Canadian dollars in Canada and US dollars in the US. MaSe’s pricing page does not name a currency for its prices. Plans and features change, so check MaSe's pricing page before deciding.
The real difference: a year paid up front, or salon software you pay for month to month
Built around the chair
MaSe is built around the front counter: cashiering, stored value, commissions, and chain controls. salonMonster is made by hairdressers, for the way a salon day already runs. Book a cut into the gap while a colour processes, approve online booking requests before they land in your book, and keep formulas on the client record.
Month to month, no contract
MaSe sells its plans by the year. salonMonster is month to month with no contract: $30 a month for one person, $15 for each additional person with a calendar, and never more than $120, with reminders and marketing included.
Help from people who know salons
We’ve been behind the chair, so you won’t have to explain what a root touch-up is. A real person moves your client list over for free and walks you through your new account. And you get 14 days with no card at all, so nothing can charge you until you’ve decided it’s right for you.
Switching from MaSe: get your client list first, then cancel
Your client list is the business you built, and it should come with you. Ask MaSe for a copy of it. Start there and we'll do the rest together.
1
Get your records
Ask MaSe for your client list, upcoming appointments, and service history, in a spreadsheet or CSV file if they can. Note any gift card, package, and stored-value balances too.
2
We look at what you got
Send the files over through our secure process. We'll tell you exactly what can move into salonMonster before we call the move done, so there are no surprises later.
3
Walk through it with a real person
We'll go over your clients, services, upcoming bookings, team access, and booking rules together. Once it all looks right, that's the moment to cancel MaSe.
Frequently asked questions
Which costs less, salonMonster or MaSe?
salonMonster is $30 a month for one person with every salon tool included, plus $15 for each additional person with a calendar, up to $120. MaSe lists Basic at $299 a year for up to three staff and Standard at $499 a year for unlimited staff, without naming the currency. One is paid month to month and the other by the year, so compare a full year in your own currency, for the setup you would really use.
Is MaSe’s $25 price month to month?
No. MaSe’s Basic plan is $299 a year, and the monthly figure on its pricing page is that annual price shown per month. salonMonster is billed month to month with no contract.
Are MaSe’s prices in Canadian or US dollars?
Its pricing page doesn’t say. Ask before you compare. salonMonster bills in Canadian dollars in Canada and US dollars in the US.
Does MaSe include unlimited staff?
Its Standard annual plan advertises unlimited staff, and its Basic plan covers up to three. salonMonster charges only for people with a calendar, and never more than $120 a month.
Does MaSe offer a free trial?
MaSe advertises a 14-day free trial with no card required. salonMonster’s trial is also 14 days of the full system with no card, so nothing is charged until you choose a plan.
Can I export my data from MaSe?
MaSe’s website doesn’t say how to export your records, and its public terms don’t cover cancellation or refunds on an annual plan. Ask for both in writing, and get a copy of your clients and upcoming appointments before you cancel.
Can salonMonster move everything from MaSe?
It depends on the files you’re able to get. Send them over and we’ll tell you exactly what can move before you cancel anything. Gift cards, packages, and stored value are money you owe clients, so list those balances separately.
