Altegio review
A broad salon operations platform for teams managing complex schedules and multiple locations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Altegio brings appointment scheduling and wider business operations together for salons and other appointment-based businesses. It is aimed at teams that need to coordinate more than staff calendars: bookings can account for rooms, equipment, and group events, while managers can also oversee client records, payments, inventory, payroll, and multiple locations. Clients can book, reschedule, or cancel online, and staff can work through web and mobile applications. The breadth makes it a stronger fit for salons with layered workflows than for a solo operator seeking only a simple booking calendar.
The operational depth is its defining strength. Online booking can be offered through websites, apps, messengers, and social platforms, while confirmations and reminders can go through SMS, WhatsApp, email, push, and other messengers. Client CRM records can include visit history, preferences, notes, memberships, and loyalty data. Cancellation and rescheduling rules include configurable online cutoffs. Payment collection covers online and in-person transactions, with records and reports; inventory, payroll, finance, and business reporting extend the system beyond front-desk scheduling. Integrations include Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Google Calendar, online payment systems, and an Open API, which gives it options for fitting into a salon's existing channels and tools.
Altegio is paid software with a seven-day trial rather than a permanent free plan. According to the vendor's pricing page, its calculator varies by team size and license term; prices also vary by country and exclude VAT. That means buyers should check their local quote and compare the full operational scope against their needs before committing. Salons coordinating staff, spaces, equipment, payments, and more than one location are the clearest fit. A small business that only needs appointment booking may find a narrower scheduling product a better match.
