Where GroomerPro is meaningfully different
The deposit stays yours, end to end
GroomerPro never processes a payment. You use your own link — Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or a Stripe checkout link — and keep the full deposit. No processor fee.
Policy is enforced at the request, not after
Clients agree to a frozen snapshot of your cancellation policy before they can submit a request. The agreement is timestamped and attached to the booking.
Repeat offenders are surfaced, not forgotten
Every no-show and late-cancel records a strike. Once a client passes your threshold, GroomerPro automatically requires a deposit on their next request.
Designed for the one-person workflow
No front desk, no roles, no permissions, no multi-location setup. Everything is optimized for a single operator who works from a phone.
Common questions
Is GroomerPro a replacement for MoeGo?
It depends on your setup. If you run a salon with a front desk and multiple staff, MoeGo is a more natural fit. If you are a solo mobile groomer who wants stronger booking rules and lighter software, GroomerPro is designed specifically for you.
Does GroomerPro process credit card deposits like MoeGo?
No, and this is intentional. GroomerPro tracks deposit status and emails clients instructions, but the deposit itself goes through your own payment link — Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, or a Stripe checkout link. GroomerPro does not take a processing fee.
Can GroomerPro handle repeat no-show clients better than MoeGo?
GroomerPro is designed around that problem. Every no-show or late cancel can be recorded as a strike, and once a client hits your threshold, GroomerPro automatically requires a deposit on their next request — even if your default policy does not require one.
Is GroomerPro cheaper than MoeGo?
GroomerPro's published pricing starts lower than MoeGo's standard plans, but the right comparison is feature fit. A solo mobile groomer rarely uses the salon features that drive MoeGo's pricing, so the value calculation usually tilts toward the lighter tool.
Can I migrate my MoeGo data to GroomerPro?
There is no one-click import, but GroomerPro is fast to set up from scratch — most solo groomers finish their core setup (clients, pets, services, policy) in well under an hour.
