Choosing Your First Med Spa Platform

Opening a med spa?
Compare Zenoti and VISTA first.

Zenoti is a capable enterprise suite built for large, multi-location wellness chains and franchises. If you're opening your first location, you need a price you can put in your business plan today, a platform sized for the practice you're actually starting — and ideally, a runway. New med spas get their first 3 months of VISTA free.

The VISTA platform — a med spa's whole day at a glance

Three questions to ask
before choosing your first platform.

Zenoti earns its place with big, multi-location wellness chains. If you're opening your first med spa, ask these three questions of any platform on your shortlist — the answers below are based on Zenoti's own published pages.

"What will it actually cost me?"

Zenoti pricing is a custom, per-location quote and isn't published — you contact sales to get a number. VISTA is one flat published price you can drop into your business plan today: $497/mo, unlimited staff, up to 4 locations (as of July 2026).

"Is it built for a practice my size?"

Zenoti's own site centers large, multi-location wellness chains, franchises, and resort spas — one account managing unlimited locations. VISTA is built for the practice you're actually opening: an independent med spa that needs charting, booking, and marketing working on day one.

"What else will I need to buy?"

Zenoti's voice product, HyperConnect, is — in Zenoti's own words — "not included in your Zenoti subscription" and requires a separate add-on subscription. VISTA's phone is an optional add-on built into the same platform your front desk already runs, so it's one less vendor to shop for.

One platform, priced simply,
built only for aesthetics.

Every VISTA practice gets the whole system on one login. Here's where the day-to-day feels different from an enterprise suite.

💵

Flat pricing, no per-seat math

$497/mo flat, with unlimited staff and up to 4 locations — no per-user fees and no per-location custom quote to negotiate (as of July 2026).

📞

A phone that knows the caller

Calls ring inside the app your team already uses. VISTA matches the number and pops the client's card — membership, last visit, balance — because the phone shares the same data. It's an optional add-on, built in rather than bolted on.

🚀

3 months free to launch

New med spas get one free month before opening — to build your menu, booking, and charting — and two more after the doors open. Self-setup is free, with optional assisted onboarding if you'd rather we build it with you.

💉

Built from scratch for med spas

SOAP charting for Botox, filler, laser and microneedling, MD review and sign-and-lock, injection-relevant workflows — a single-focus product, not one vertical inside a broad wellness suite.

🔗

Marketing that reports revenue

Welcome, win-back, birthday and rebook journeys fire on your live client data, and every campaign reports the revenue it actually brought back — not guessed.

📱

Your own branded apps

A client app that becomes yours the moment they sign in, plus a provider and front-desk kiosk app on iPad — included in the platform.

VISTA vs. Zenoti,
for a med spa that's just opening.

A fair, sourced comparison. Where a detail depends on your contract or plan, we've left it out.

VISTA's phone system and telehealth are optional paid add-ons — the difference is that they're built into the same platform, not a third-party service. Zenoti offers a full med-spa product; the points above are where a first-location or small-group med spa usually feels the difference.

Open your doors already organized.

Opening without systems and trying to retrofit them later is the classic year-one trap. VISTA's new-med-spa offer is built to prevent exactly that: your first month is free before you open, so booking, charting, your service menu, and your marketing are live on day one — then your first two open months are free too.

  • 1 Month zero (free): build your service menu, booking rules, charting templates, and pricing
  • 2 Your branded booking page and client app go live before opening day
  • 3 Doors open — front desk, charting, payments, and marketing already run on one login
  • 4 Months one and two are free while your revenue ramps
