How they compare
Platform writeups
Idle
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic businesses wanting a Singapore-native, AI-native platform
Idle is built in Singapore for Singapore beauty and wellness businesses. PayNow and PayLah via its built-in Stripe integration, GST-aware invoicing, designed to support PDPA from day one, a WhatsApp booking link, transparent per-store pricing, and zero commission on bookings. It is AI-native: AI client briefings and growth insights, plus a WhatsApp Agent and AI HR built in. Founded 2024 on a modern stack.
Fresha
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic businesses prioritising marketplace discovery
Global beauty platform paired with a consumer marketplace. No longer free: it now charges paid subscription tiers. Its marketplace charges a one-time fee on new clients it refers in some markets such as the US (reported around 20%), though on Fresha's Singapore pricing page that fee is currently listed as free. Card payments run through Fresha Pay; PayNow is not among its documented checkout methods. Strong for client discovery if you want marketplace traffic.
WESS
Best fit: established Aesthetic Clinic businesses in Singapore
Established Singapore platform serving SWAS members since 2012. Solid SG fundamentals (PayNow, GST, multi-store), with a more consultation-led onboarding model.
Studio Manager
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic businesses with clinical/aesthetic workflows
Singapore platform operating since 2002, with strong aesthetic-clinic positioning and an established customer base. Quote-based, consultation-led pricing.
Timely
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic businesses with ANZ operations
NZ-built platform with strong AU/NZ adoption. Workable in SG with manual configuration. Doesn't surface PayNow by default.
Vagaro
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic businesses operating internationally
US-built platform. Useful if your operations are US-anchored; weak on SG-side rails - no PayNow, GST handling requires manual workaround.
Zenoti
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic chains with 5+ locations
Enterprise-grade platform for medium-to-large beauty chains. Strong for groups; high upfront cost and longer deployment than SMB-focused tools.
Setmore
Best fit: Aesthetic Clinic solo operators on a tight budget
US-built scheduling tool with a generous free tier. Light on Singapore-specific features. Good for solo operators starting digital.
Decide with confidence
How to choose
Do I need digital consent and intake forms?
Critical for aesthetic clinics. Studio Manager has mature consent flows; Idle includes consent management, with full digital intake and consent forms available as an add-on (part of a custom booking link).
Do I dispense or sell skincare/products?
If yes, look for strong inventory features - Idle, Studio Manager, and Zenoti all handle this.
How much packaging revenue do I generate?
If treatment packages are 30%+ of revenue, prioritise platforms with strong package/credit tracking. Idle, Studio Manager, and Zenoti all do this well.

AI shift optimiser
