Phorest vs Setora
Compare the costs you will actually use.

How we compared: Phorest pricing page checked 6 August 2026. It lists Starter, Grow, Ultimate and Elite salon plans and asks you to request a quote for each, so no public total exists to compare. Ask for your quote in writing, including SMS rates, payment processing and contract length, then compare it with Setora's £59/month per-location price.

Data and timing
Your data stays yours.
Request the records Phorest provides before cancelling. Import the supported fields, review them and keep the old account live until your Setora setup has been tested.
Export before cancelling. Ask for the records you need while your current account is still active.
Check before changing links. Review imported records and test the booking flow first.
Keep a secure copy. Store the original export safely while you check the move.
Keep an exit route. People with permission can export customer records and available reports from Setora.
Before you decide
Check the details for your business.
Phorest pricing page checked 6 August 2026. Phorest does not publish salon plan prices, so we describe its plan tiers rather than estimate a monthly cost. If anything here has changed, email hello@setora.co.uk and we will correct it.
Before you switch
The practical questions.
What to check before moving away from Phorest.
Will I lose my client data when I switch?
Under GDPR your client records are yours whichever platform holds them. Ask Phorest what export files it can provide and in what format before you give notice, then Setora helps you import the supported records and check them before you update your booking links.
Is it really no commission? What's the catch?
£59/month per location is how Setora makes money. We do not take a cut of your bookings, card payments or walk-ins. SMS credits and card processing are separate if you use them.
How does Setora's price compare to my Phorest quote?
That depends entirely on your quote, because Phorest does not publish prices. Its pricing page lists Starter, Grow, Ultimate and Elite salon plans and asks you to request a quote for each. Get yours in writing, including SMS rates, payment processing and contract length, then compare it with £59/month per location for unlimited stylists.
What will I miss if I move off Phorest?
Phorest has been building for salons far longer than we have, and it covers loyalty through Treatcard, stock management, an online store, video consultations and its own branded client app. Setora does not mirror those today. If your salon runs on that wider suite, check the gaps carefully before you commit.
Am I locked into a contract with Phorest?
Phorest does not publish contract terms on its pricing page, and some salons report committing to a minimum term at signup. Check your own agreement for notice period and renewal date before you plan a switch, so you are not paying two platforms at once.
How long does it take to switch from Phorest?
Set up services and stylists, import the supported files you receive, test the Booking Page, then switch your public link when you are happy with it.
