An honest take.
StyleSeat may fit better if
You want to be found in a beauty marketplace and are fine with its new-client fee, or if you want card payments and no-show protection built in.
Ongati fits better if
Your clients come from your own Instagram, referrals and walk-ins, and you want Ongati to take 0% of each booking.
Moving from StyleSeat is simple.
You can run Ongati next to StyleSeat while you switch, so no booking falls through.
