Which plan you need
- Free if you have a light schedule and want to try it.
- Basic when you pass 50 appointments a month or want unlimited reminders, a booking link, intake forms, recurring appointments or daycare.
- Growth when you want to text clients from your own business number, book multi-dog households, map your day with directions, and send report cards and vaccine alerts.
- Pro when you want to collect payment by text link and let the AI assistant handle booking texts.
Card payments: the math
Client payments on Pro run through your own Stripe account. Stripe's standard online rate is 2.9% plus 30¢ per payment. On an $85 groom that is about $2.77, and you keep the rest. PawScheduler takes no percentage on top.
Hidden costs to check on any grooming software
- Text-message limits. Some platforms bundle a monthly allowance of texts per tier. A solo groomer sending a confirmation and a reminder for every appointment can pass an entry-level cap.
- Per-van or per-location billing. Fine for one van. Costly if you grow.
- Processing fees. Ask for the effective card rate in writing.
- Feature gating. Find out which tier unlocks the things you actually use: reminders, waivers, payments, automation.
- Exit costs. Confirm you can export your client list.
