What is the best software for a med spa in the UK?+
Judge it on the things a single practitioner never needs. Do rooms and devices gate availability, or only staff? Are services tied to the practitioners qualified to deliver them? Are course credits a real ledger or a note in a spreadsheet? And is the price published? Pabau and Phorest are the established names in this category and both quote privately, Pabau across five user bands and Phorest on all four of its tiers, checked 16 August 2026. Beautay covers those four points and publishes one figure. See twelve UK systems compared on price.
Can it stop two clients being booked into the same treatment room?+
Yes. Rooms and equipment sit in the same availability calculation as staff, so a slot where the room is already in use never appears as bookable. The resource is assigned when the appointment is created, and you can still override by hand when a person should make the call. How rooms and resources work.
Does Beautay handle more than one location?+
Yes. Each site has its own address, opening hours and diary, and staff are given hours at the sites they actually work from. There is no separate charge for a second location, only for the people using it. Multi-location and staff.
Can we stop reception seeing clinical notes?+
Yes. Access is set by role, so the front desk gets the diary and the client contact details without the consultation record. Access to sensitive clinical content can be logged for oversight.
How do course packages and memberships work?+
You define how many sessions a package holds, which service they redeem against, the upfront price and an expiry. Each visit draws one credit, staff can see which appointment used which session, and cancellations return credits according to your existing rules.
Can you move us off Pabau, Phorest or Fresha?+
Yes, and the migration is free. Services, clients, appointment history and records come across so you are not starting the record from scratch. Talk to us about moving.
What does it cost for a team of six?+
£74.70 a month. The plan is £24.95 and covers the first practitioner, then each additional person is £9.95 a month. Every feature is on that one plan, so there is no tier to climb when you take on the next treatment or the next site. See full pricing.
Do you take a percentage of our card payments?+
No. Payments run through Stripe into your own connected account and Stripe applies its own processing fees. Beautay charges its subscription and takes nothing from the transaction, which on med spa card volume is the largest difference in this category.
