TapGroom review
A low-cost grooming suite covering bookings, pet records and salon operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TapGroom brings appointment management, online client booking and pet records together with tools for running a grooming business. It is aimed at pet salon operators and groomers, particularly solo and small businesses seeking more than a calendar. Customer profiles can include photos and service histories, while reminders and vaccination alerts help keep appointments and immunization records organized. The app supports Android, iOS and macOS, with mobile and desktop deployment.
The feature range extends beyond booking: operators can manage point of sale, receipts, vouchers, card-reader use, inventory, marketing, analytics, bookkeeping, expenses and staff commissions. Boarding kennel and pet-hotel scheduling is also included, making TapGroom relevant to businesses that handle stays as well as grooming appointments. Square, PayPal and SumUp are among its integrations; Dropbox is also supported. Automatic backup and synchronization across devices are part of the listed feature set. This breadth may suit a small salon that wants several operational tools in one app, while a business focused only on personal grooming routines should look elsewhere.
TapGroom offers a Free plan with basic features and a Full License priced at $14 per month. The paid plan adds full features, one license for multiple users and unlimited data storing. That makes the entry price clear, though a buyer should assess whether the Free plan's basic feature set covers their workflow before relying on it. Support channels include email and documentation. Overall, TapGroom is a practical fit for small grooming businesses wanting scheduling plus salon administration at a modest monthly price; businesses seeking a narrowly focused booking tool may not need its wider set of business functions.
