SalonUp is for Russian-speaking beauty professionals who work for themselves — hair, nail, brow, lash and skin specialists. The app is in Russian. Clients get automatic SMS reminders and birthday greetings, your own booking page takes requests, and an AI assistant tells you what to post and whom to message to fill your calendar. APPOINTMENTS & CLIENTS • Day and week calendar, book in two taps. • Automatic SMS reminder to the client the day before the visit — fewer no-shows, no calls. • Birthday greeting by SMS with a gift discount — sent on the day, to clients who agreed. • Your own online booking page — a link in your bio, clients book without messaging you, and every request arrives as a notification. • Client card: visit history, colour formula, photos of your work, notes. • Only the notifications you want: new requests, a reminder before each appointment, a morning tip. • Works offline: everything you add syncs when the connection returns. MONEY & SUPPLIES • Income, expenses and what you actually keep — by day and by month. • Price list with photos, prices and durations. • Supplies stock: what runs out, what each treatment costs. STORIES & POSTS • Ready-made story and post templates — your work in a beautiful frame in a minute, right on your phone. • Short videos from photos and clips with music and captions. AI ASSISTANT (Pro plan) • A short, useful tip in the morning: what's on today, which clients are due, what to post. Nothing worth saying — no message. • Guides you step by step: a review of your page, a weekly plan, a Monday check-in. • Writes for you: photo captions, story texts, replies to clients. • Monthly review: where you grew, where you dipped, what to do next. • Hands busy? Say it — the voice agent books the client for you. First month free. The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GIC app at none against SalonUp's 8. SalonUp's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
