Squire pricing and Squire barber app cost per month, with fees and a year worked out
For barbershop owners pricing Squire before they sign.
Squire charges a flat monthly fee per shop, not per barber. The four tiers are Independent at about 30 USD a month for a solo barber, Pro at about 50 USD for a single shop, Executive at 150 USD and Titan at 250 USD for multi-location groups. Card processing, payroll and add-ons such as a branded landing page are billed on top. For a seven chair shop on Executive, a year comes to about 1,800 USD in subscription before processing, and adding barbers does not raise the plan price.
How much does Squire cost per month?
Squire costs between 30 and 250 USD a month per shop, depending on the tier. The entry Independent plan is about 30 USD a month and is meant for one barber. Pro, for a single shop with a team, is listed at 50 USD a month by most 2026 reviews, although some software directories still show 100 USD. Executive is 150 USD and Titan, for groups with several locations, is 250 USD a month. Each tier starts with a 14 day trial.
Squire's own pricing page sits behind a browser check and the numbers have moved over the years, so treat the table below as the range to test your quote against.
| Squire tier | Monthly price | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Independent | about 30 USD | one barber, often a booth renter |
| Pro | about 50 USD (some listings show 100 USD) | a single shop with a small team |
| Executive | about 150 USD | busier shops that want the waitlist, loyalty and more marketing |
| Titan | about 250 USD | multi-location barbershop groups |
Tier prices as reported in October 2026 by Software Advice, GetApp, WMTips and 2026 barbershop software reviews (Razored Tech, Codersy Apps). TechCrunch described the same 30 to 250 USD range. None of these figures were confirmed by Squire for this article.
Does Squire charge per barber?
No. Squire's FAQ says adding barbers does not change the subscription, so a shop with three chairs and a shop with nine pay the same on the same tier. That is the main reason larger shops pick Squire over Booksy, which adds 20 USD a month for every staff member after the first, or Fresha at 14.95 USD per bookable team member. Where Squire's price grows is in the tier you need for features, not in headcount.
What fees does Squire charge on top of the plan?
The subscription is only part of the bill. Squire runs its own payments, and three extra lines show up in operator reports and reviews:
- Card processing. One 2026 review lists 2.5% plus 20 cents for in-person cards and 2.9% plus 30 cents online. Other reviewers say Squire does not publish its rates. Ask for the rate in writing, because on a shop doing 30,000 USD a month in card sales, every 0.1% is 30 USD.
- Payroll. A competitor comparison reports a 0.5% fee on payroll run through Squire. If you pay commission barbers through the app, add it to your math.
- Add-ons. Reviews mention a branded landing page at about 25 USD a month and an AI feature at about 99 USD. A branded client app has historically been sold on the top tiers.
None of these are unusual for an all-in-one barbershop platform. The point is to compare the whole bill, not the tier price.
What a year of Squire costs, worked out
Take a seven chair shop that wants online booking, the waitlist and no-show protection, which points to the Executive tier, and does 25,000 USD a month in online card payments.
| Line | Per month | First year |
|---|---|---|
| Executive subscription, one shop | 150 USD | 1,800 USD |
| Branded landing page add-on | about 25 USD | about 300 USD |
| Online card processing at 2.9% plus 30 cents, 25,000 USD and 600 payments | about 905 USD | about 10,860 USD |
| Total | about 1,080 USD | about 12,960 USD |
Processing at the reported online rate. Card processing is paid on every system, including ours, so the line that really differs between vendors is the subscription and any percentage on top of the card rate.
Most of that bill is processing, which you pay anywhere. What you choose with the software is the subscription line and whether features you need sit on a higher tier.
Is Squire worth it for a barbershop?
Squire is worth it when you want one system for booking, point of sale, payroll and a branded client app, and your shop has enough chairs that a flat per-shop price beats paying per barber. It is built only for barbershops, and owners like that the booking flow, tips and commission splits match how a shop actually runs.
It is a harder sell when you only need the calendar side done well: online booking, deposits on long services, text reminders and a waitlist for walk-ins. Then you are paying the Executive price for POS and payroll you may already run elsewhere, and processing you cannot shop around because it is tied to the app.
Squire vs Booksy vs a flat booking system on price
| System | Seven barbers, per month | How it grows | Payments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squire Executive | about 150 USD | by tier, not by barber | Squire processing, rate on request |
| Booksy | 29.99 USD plus 6 x 20 USD, about 150 USD | 20 USD per extra staff member, 30% on Boost clients | Booksy payments |
| Square Appointments | 49 or 149 USD per location | by plan per location | Square processing |
| Reserving Growth | 149 USD, or 74 USD billed yearly | flat up to 10 staff per location | your own payment account, no percentage from us |
On a seven chair shop the subscriptions land close together. The differences are what you get for it: Squire bundles POS and payroll, Booksy brings marketplace clients for a cut of the first visit, and a booking system like ours does the calendar, deposits, two-way text reminders and the walk-in queue for a flat fee with nothing taken from your bookings. Our barbershop appointment software page shows the full feature list and a live demo set up as a seven chair shop.
When a flat booking system is the better buy than Squire
Pick a flat booking system over Squire if three things are true. You already have a point of sale or are happy with Square at the counter. You pay barbers through a payroll service or your accountant. And your real problem is no-shows and phone tag, not tills and commission reports.
In that case the money is in the calendar rules. A deposit on 60 minute fades and color, a card held for first visits, text reminders that let clients cancel by reply so the slot goes back on sale, and a walk-in queue on the same board as bookings. Reserving Growth does that for 74 USD a month billed yearly, for up to ten barbers, and you keep your existing processor. If you run commission barbers, keep a clean record of software and supply spend too; a tool that can read receipts and categorize business expenses saves the month-end shoebox, and your bookkeeper will thank you for it.
Questions to ask Squire before you sign
- Which tier includes the waitlist, no-show fees and deposits, and what does it cost on monthly versus yearly billing?
- What are my card processing rates in person and online, in writing, and can I use my own processor?
- Is there a fee on payroll or on commission payouts?
- What does the branded app or landing page cost, and is it required for online booking?
- If I leave, can I export my client list and appointment history, and in what format?
The last question matters more than it looks. Your client list is the shop's most valuable asset, and moving it should take an export and an import, not a support ticket.
