Groomsoft review
A focused grooming scheduler with recurring bookings, mobile routing, and a 30-day demo.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Groomsoft is cloud-based scheduling and business management software for pet grooming businesses, including storefront salons and mobile groomers. It combines online appointment booking, customer and pet records, payment processing, email and text-message reminders, recurring appointments, groomer scheduling, reporting, and mobile route management. Its pet profiles can include appointment histories, photos, vaccination tracking, and digital release forms, giving grooming teams a central place to manage customer and pet information.
Pricing is split between Grooming Shops at $29.95 per month and Mobile Groomers at $39.90 per month. Both plans include basic features, payment processing, Google Calendar sync, online booking, maps for mobile grooming, and email appointment reminders. The 30-day demo costs $0 one time, requires no credit card, and supports customer and pet import. Text messaging is additionally priced by SMS pack, so businesses that depend on text reminders should account for that separate cost. There is no ongoing free plan.
Groomsoft’s strongest fit is a grooming business that needs recurring scheduling, staff calendars, blocked time, payment processing, card-on-file storage, paperless billing, and printable or CSV reporting in one web-based system. Google Calendar and MailChimp provide ecosystem connections, while route optimization and mileage tracking extend the product to mobile groomers. Businesses choosing Grooming Shops receive a lower monthly price, while Mobile Groomers pay more for the plan designed around mobile work. Groomsoft is less suitable for teams requiring a native mobile or desktop application, or for businesses seeking a permanently free scheduling option. Groomers wanting web-based booking, structured pet records, and recurring appointments should find the feature set aligned with those needs.
