What barber apps list, side by side
Most of these are booking apps. Next Up runs your walk-in line: customers scan a QR code, get in line from their phone and watch the wait. It works next to the booking app you already use.

How to read this
- Next Up's shop price covers the first 3 barbers on the floor; each one after that adds to it. The 4-barber price above includes that.
- The founding price is for the first shops to join, and it stays the same for as long as the shop stays subscribed. Shops that join after the founding spots are gone pay the regular price.
- Plans aren't the same from one company to the next: they include different features, and some charge extra fees (for example on card payments or new clients). Each company's pricing page has the details.
- Next Up has a 14-day free trial, no card needed, and no sign-up fee. Cancel online any time.
