Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SalonCentric at 4.8 against SalonOne's 1.8. SalonCentric also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (36K vs 8). SalonOne's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SalonCentric holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SalonCentric has 36K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of SalonOne's written reviews are positive against 13% of SalonCentric's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SalonOne ships an update every 3 months, SalonCentric every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
