Powerful Salon Software Available Worldwide, Not Just the US

Why Salon Owners Are Considering a Boulevard Alternative

Simple Salon is a Boulevard alternative that works worldwide rather than only in the United States. It is used across Australia, New Zealand and worldwide, starts from AUD $20 per month, and lets you begin with a free trial instead of a sales demo. For salon owners weighing a Boulevard alternative, the platform is well funded, with strong scheduling, AI features, and a polished interface. But it comes with significant constraints: Boulevard is available only in the United States, its plans start at USD $176/mo per location, it offers no free trial (a demo with a sales rep is required), and multi-location pricing charges full price for each additional site. Simple Salon is available worldwide, starts from AUD $20/mo, and offers a free trial with no credit card required.

Boulevard vs Simple Salon: Feature Comparison

Your data is yours, always

Some providers make it hard to leave, locking your client list and history behind a paywall, charging you to export your own data, or tying you into long contracts and other strange rules. We don’t play those games. With Simple Salon your clients, bookings and reports are always yours: export everything anytime, at no cost, with no lock-in. If you ever move on, you take it all with you.

Available Wherever Your Salon Operates

Boulevard is sold only in the United States. Simple Salon is available worldwide with no geographic restrictions, serving hair and beauty professionals across many countries. Wherever your salon is based, you can run it on Simple Salon from day one.

The Real Cost of “Starting at $158/mo”

Boulevard’s Essentials plan starts at USD $176/mo per location, and the full-featured Prestige plan runs USD $410/mo (Prestige). On top of that there is a one-time onboarding fee of $495 and data migration fees of $295 to $895. Reviewers on Capterra regularly flag pricing as their top complaint, especially paying full price for every additional location. Simple Salon’s complete feature set is AUD $41/operator/mo on the Max plan, with every price published and no hidden onboarding fees.

A Free Trial Before You Commit, No Sales Call Required

Boulevard does not offer a free trial. To see the product at all, you first have to book a demo with a sales representative. Simple Salon offers a free trial with no credit card required, so you can try the full product before you ever talk to sales.

Reporting and Marketing Without Hidden Costs

Boulevard users on Capterra say reporting gets time-consuming once they manage several locations, and the Professional app sits at 2.1 stars on Google Play. Boulevard’s automated campaign marketing is an add-on billed separately, and the platform charges $2 for every booking made within seven days of a marketing email. Simple Salon includes 40+ reports and Smart Send marketing automation on the Pro and Max plans.
