Why massage studios and spas pick elastudio over Avec
Online payment without an add-on.
On Avec’s plans page, Avec Pay is an add-on on every plan. On elastudio, clients pay by card at booking into your own Stripe account from the Free plan, and elastudio never takes a percentage.
More of your team for less.
Avec Começando covers 1 or 2 professionals from R$88.90 a month, and from 3 professionals the price is on request. elastudio Starter is US$28 a month with 5 staff logins, and Growth is US$78 with 15.
Made for sessions, rooms and visitors.
Bookings confirmed at once, a therapist or anyone available, rooms that refuse a second booking at the same time, a deposit that protects the hour, and pages in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
