Is DINGG a good Salonify alternative?
Yes. DINGG covers what salons use Salonify for (appointments, 5% GST billing with UPI and split payments, memberships and packages, inventory with branch transfers, commission and multi-branch control) and adds DINGG AI that answers and books clients on WhatsApp, phone and chat, up to four WhatsApp reminders per booking from your own number, and payroll with salary, advances and payslips. Both are built in India for salons and spas, so the right choice comes down to how you run your day; the table below shows each side as its own website states it.

Salary day should add up from the same bills as commission. Salonify's website names attendance, performance and commission tracking for each team member; salary, advances and payslips aren't stated.
Back-bar stock should match the services on your bills. Salonify tracks retail and back-bar stock with low-stock alerts and transfers; deducting the product used in each service isn't stated.
New clients should be able to find you, not only the regulars who already have your link. Salonify's BookingZone is a branded booking page and client app; a marketplace where new clients find salons isn't stated.

DINGG as a Salonify alternative: frequently asked questions
Is DINGG a good Salonify alternative?
Yes, for salons, spas and clinics in India that want appointments, 5% GST billing with UPI, memberships, inventory and commission in one app, plus DINGG AI that books clients on WhatsApp, phone and chat, up to four reminders per booking and full payroll with payslips. 5,000+ outlets in 300+ Indian cities run on DINGG.
When is Salonify the better fit?
If your accountant works in Tally, you want a client booking app under your own brand, or you'd like AI previews of a new hairstyle or colour on a client's own photo, Salonify lists all three on its website. DINGG connects to Zoho Books, and gives each salon a white-label booking site in its own brand, on its own domain, with an opt-in place on the Zodule marketplace, rather than a branded app.
Can I move from Salonify to DINGG?
Yes. Clients, history, memberships and stock come across by spreadsheet import or with our team's help, even from a photo of your price list, and your team is trained before you go live.
How much does DINGG cost compared with Salonify?
DINGG plans depend on your branches and the modules you need, and are shared in a free demo, so you can set them against what you pay today.
Does DINGG handle GST?
Yes. Services are billed at 5% GST (CGST 2.5% + SGST 2.5%) from 22 September 2025, products at their own rate, with your GSTIN and HSN/SAC codes on every bill.
Does DINGG's AI book appointments for clients?
Yes. DINGG AI answers clients on WhatsApp, phone and chat, checks real availability before it books, and every booking it makes is tagged in the calendar. Inside the app, Ask SAGE (DINGG AI Assistant) answers your own questions about sales, services and staff in plain English.
Does DINGG give head office control of every branch?
Yes. Location groups have 11 sharing switches, head-office menu sync with price protection and per-branch roles. Memberships can be redeemed at any branch, stock moves between branches, and the owner app shows every branch live.
Is there an offer for switching to DINGG?
Yes, on annual plans: switch now, pay later, with up to 30 days to pay (data migration by our team isn't included with this offer); free data migration of up to 3 years of records, or 20% off your annual plan (pick one); and flexible payments, such as part payments, agreed in your quote.
What happens to packages, memberships, prepaid balances and booked appointments?
They come across with your clients. Our team moves what's left on each package and membership, prepaid and gift card balances, loyalty points, dues and your booked appointments, so clients redeem and turn up as before.
What happens to my Salonify subscription?
Keep Salonify running until DINGG is live, so you never stop billing or taking bookings. Tell us when your Salonify plan renews and we'll plan the move so you're live before then. Cancelling is between you and Salonify, under your agreement with them.
Do my clients need an app or an account to book?
No. Clients book on your booking site in any browser, or on WhatsApp, with no app to download and no account to create. If you switch it on, they confirm with a one-time code on WhatsApp.
