Goldie publishes three plans: Starter is free, Pro is $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, and Pro Plus is $39.99 a month or $399.99 a year. Those are the figures on heygoldie.com/pricing, checked on November 8, 2026, in US dollars. Goldie is the app that used to be called Appointfix, so Appointfix pricing is the same thing. Not on the pricing page: the card rate, the fee your clients pay once no-show protection is on, and what a text costs after the monthly allowance runs out.

Paying yearly gets you two months free, so Pro works out at about $16.67 a month and Pro Plus at about $33.33. The page showed dollars when we opened it from Ireland; in-app subscriptions are billed by the App Store or Google Play. The SMS allowance also depends on where you are: Goldie’s FAQ gives 500 a month on Pro in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Ireland, and 200 in most other countries.
Starter needs no card and has no trial clock; we could not find a stated trial length for the paid plans anywhere on the site.
What the free Starter plan includes
More than most free plans. One user on unlimited devices, unlimited clients, a booking website under your own name, Reserve with Google, deposits and card payments. Clients book without creating an account.
The first limit is the cap: 20 appointments a month, which is five a week. A chair rented two Saturdays a month fits inside it; a full book does not. The second is reminders. Starter has one message template, and the reminders are manual, sent through your own phone and your own carrier. Goldie charges nothing for them, and you do the tapping.
What Pro and Pro Plus add
Pro is where most solo barbers and stylists land, because it removes the appointment cap and adds the things that cut no-shows: automated reminders, no-show protection (a deposit or a card on file that you can charge a late or no-show fee to), 500 SMS credits a month, rebooking reminders and two-way texting. It also brings reports, marketing campaigns and loyalty cards.
Pro Plus is the team plan. Multiple calendars and logins with permissions, staff-level reports, an extra 250 SMS credits, online forms, a waitlist, inventory and expense tracking, and an AI receptionist with 50 replies a month. If it is just you, there is little in Pro Plus you need.
The fees that are not on the pricing page
Card processing. Payments run through Stripe, and Goldie sets the rate. Its help centre, in an article dated September 30, 2026, puts the Pro and Pro Plus rate at 2.5% + $0.30 per card transaction in the US, 2.5% + C$0.30 in Canada, 1.6% + A$0.30 in Australia and 1.3% + £0.20 in the UK. Starter users pay more: 3.5% + 30 cents, with a minimum of $0.50 a transaction. Goldie’s payments page says 2.5% + $0.30 at the top and 2.6% + $0.30 in its FAQ, so ask which applies before you budget.
The booking fee your clients pay. When no-show protection is on and an online booking comes to $10 or more, Goldie adds a booking fee that the client pays: $1.20 in the US, C$1.20 in Canada, £1.00 in the UK and A$1.20 in Australia, according to a help article dated July 3, 2026. It is not charged on appointments you add by hand, and it is refunded if you cancel. It is small, but your client sees it at checkout under your name.
Texts past the allowance. Extra messages are one-off packs bought through the App Store or Google Play. The only price we could find is the App Store listing’s 250 SMS Pack at $14.99, about six cents a text. Unused extra messages carry over for one cycle, then expire.
Appointfix pricing: same app, new name
Appointfix was renamed Goldie, and the App Store listing still carries the old in-app purchases: Premium at $12.99 a month and Team at $39.99 a month. An old Appointfix Premium subscription at $12.99 is a legacy price; a new sign-up today pays $19.99 for Pro.
A solo barber on Pro, roughly
Take a barber doing 60 cuts a month at $50, all booked online with a deposit, on Pro paid yearly.
- Subscription: about $16.67 a month.
- Reminders: 120 texts a month, inside the 500 credits, so nothing extra.
- Card processing on $3,000 across 60 payments: $75 plus $18, about $93 a month.
- Booking fee: 60 bookings at $1.20 is $72 a month, paid by your clients rather than you.
The subscription is the smallest line. Processing costs five or six times the plan, and your clients hand over close to $900 a year in booking fees. Plenty of solo barbers will take that trade for a good phone app; just know the whole bill before you sign.
How bbook compares
bbook is a booking app with no booking fee added to the client and no commission on anything. The free plan covers one user and 30 appointments a month, so a part-time chair runs on it at no cost, and paid plans are per user a month, shown in your own currency on the pricing page. Card payments and deposits go through Stripe at its published rates, with nothing added by bbook, and clients book from your link without an account. Reminders go by SMS, WhatsApp and email, and there is a web app beside the iOS and Android apps.
The feature-by-feature table is on the Goldie (Appointfix) alternative page. If the free plan is what you are after, free booking app for barbers lines up Goldie’s Starter against bbook, Setmore and Square on where each one stops being free.
