Squadra review
A free, focused way to plan salon shifts, track hours, and share schedules.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Squadra is a browser-based scheduling and time-tracking product for beauty salons, spas, estheticians, and other teams that need straightforward staff planning. Managers can build weekly schedules with a drag-and-drop grid, copy the previous week, publish schedules by link, and enable clock-in from phones or tablets. Staff can view shifts in a browser without installing an app or creating an account. Automatic hour totals, hour-bank calculations, leave management, and absence tracking extend it beyond basic rota creation.
The published plans show a useful free entry point. Free includes weekly scheduling, phone and tablet clock-in, schedule sharing by link, and email support. Pro costs $29 per month or $289 per year and adds unlimited employees and locations, priority email support, reports, and payroll exports. Enterprise adds SSO / SAML, a contractual SLA, advanced audit logs, dedicated onboarding, and custom integrations. A 14-day free trial is also available. This structure suits teams that want to start with core scheduling and move into reporting, payroll, or organizational controls as needs grow.
Squadra’s strongest fit is operational staffing rather than salon booking. Its REST API and integrations with BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, Factorial, Payfit, and Lucca support payroll and HRIS workflows, while link-based sharing keeps staff access simple. However, it is web-only and does not provide a verified appointment-synchronization workflow or salon-specific booking features. Teams choosing a focused shift-planning tool should find the scope practical; salons seeking scheduling tied closely to appointments, booking, or broader front-desk operations should consider a more specialized alternative.
