Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vagaro Pro at none against Glamiris's 3. Vagaro Pro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (16K vs 5). Glamiris's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vagaro Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vagaro Pro has 16K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Vagaro Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Glamiris's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vagaro Pro ships an update every 5 days, Glamiris monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
