Best for

German-speaking salons that want booking, email marketing and a till from one German vendor with DATEV export

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Price list is public and per location, so a ten-chair salon pays the same as a two-chair one
  • Marketing automation, review collection and birthday campaigns are part of the mid tier, not an add-on
  • The All-in-One tier includes the till, inventory and accounting prep with DATEV export
  • 14 day free trial without a sales call
  • German company, German support hours and German tax plumbing including a cloud TSE add-on at 9 euros a month

Weaknesses

  • Annual billing carries a 12 month minimum term, cancellable with 14 days notice to the end of the term, which is real lock-in next to month-to-month rivals
  • Entry price of 49,90 euros is above Salonify Starter at 29 euros and above Fresha Independent at 14,95 euros
  • Card payment rates are not published, the card reader is quoted on request
  • Online prepayment on the Booking tiers runs through a PayPal integration rather than a native deposit engine
  • Marketing and website add-ons stack quickly, a website is 65 euros and a web app 40 euros a month on top
  • No meaningful consumer marketplace, so it does not bring new clients

Verdict

Shore is a reasonable choice for a German or Austrian salon that wants one German vendor for booking, marketing and the till, and does not mind signing for a year. For an operator in Luxembourg or Belgium it is harder to justify: the entry price is higher than Salonify, the card rates are not published, prepayment leans on PayPal, and the 12 month term is the opposite of the month-to-month terms the rest of the market now offers.
