About

ApprenticePro

Read full description

ApprenticePro is the training and retention platform built for salon companies. Cosmetology grads need 6–9 months of in-salon training, and every new hire can cost thousands in lost floor revenue. ApprenticePro removes that burden with clear standards, predictable progression, and consistency—without constant owner oversight. Onboard new stylists, build real skills through structured tiers, and keep your team longer. Mentor guides, tier goals, orientation checklists, and a built-in drip schedule do the heavy lifting, so your senior stylists stay on the floor. Proven and built for teams of every size. Turn new talent into floor-ready professionals—and keep them. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plugged In at none against ApprenticePro's 1. Plugged In also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). ApprenticePro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
