Setora review
A focused salon scheduler with branded booking, staff tools and deposits at £39 per location monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Setora is booking and management software for independent salons, barbershops and hair professionals. It combines a branded Booking Page with staff schedules, calendars, customer records, reminders, waitlists, payments and reporting. Owners and staff can manage appointments through the web Hub and iOS and Android apps, while an API is also available. Its flat pricing per location, with unlimited staff included, suits businesses that want booking protection without a separate charge for each team member.
The published plan structure is straightforward: Setora costs £39 per location per month, billed monthly, and includes unlimited staff, online bookings, calendars and staff diaries, customer records and exports, reports and waitlists. A 14-day trial is available rather than a time-unlimited free plan. The price is published before VAT where applicable. SMS credits and Stripe card processing are billed separately, so salons using text reminders or online payments should account for those additional charges. The single listed plan keeps the buying decision simple, but offers less tier-based choice for businesses seeking different feature levels.
Operationally, Setora covers the core workflow from appointment discovery to follow-up. Staff availability controls, drag-to-reschedule calendars, walk-ins, kiosk mode, consent tracking and retention reports support day-to-day salon administration. Stripe provides online payments, deposits and Booking Protection, while CSV export supports customer data portability. The platform’s ecosystem is focused rather than broad, with Stripe as the listed integration. Choose Setora if your salon needs branded online booking, staff coordination and deposit-based booking protection in one focused system. Consider an alternative if you need a wider integration network, a free plan or pricing that bundles SMS and payment-processing costs.
