GroomWork review
A budget-friendly web platform for solo groomers, with team tools reserved for Salon.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GroomWork is a web-based business management platform for independent pet groomers, salons, multi-groomer teams, and mobile grooming businesses. Its core workspace combines appointment scheduling, online booking, client and pet records, invoicing, payment tracking, reminders, recurring appointments, inventory, expenses, and tax reporting. Solo groomers can use it to manage bookings and pet information in one place, while larger teams can add multi-groomer scheduling through the Salon plan.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and two paid plan levels. The Free plan includes client and pet CRM, an online booking page, calendar and appointment management, and email support, with a monthly appointment limit. Solo costs $24 per month with monthly billing or $19 per month with annual billing, adding unlimited appointments, reminders, invoicing and payments, and recurring appointments. Salon costs $59 per month monthly or $49 per month annually, adding multi-groomer scheduling and fleet and mobile-grooming tools alongside unlimited appointments, reminders, CRM, and payment features. The plan structure makes Solo the practical upgrade for an individual business that needs automation and payment handling, while Salon is aimed at teams and mobile operations.
GroomWork’s standout depth is its pet and client record system: profiles can include breed, coat, allergy, behavior, vaccine, visit-history, and photo information. The scheduling calendar supports drag-and-drop management with day, week, and multi-groomer views, and the booking page can be shared or embedded. Automated appointment reminders, vaccine-expiry nudges, and rebooking nudges support repeat-care workflows. The trade-off is ecosystem breadth: the platform is web-only, no integrations are listed, and native iOS and Android apps are described as coming soon. Choose GroomWork for an affordable, focused operating system for grooming businesses; consider an alternative if native mobile access or a broader integration ecosystem is essential.
