Where CelerBook works differently than Mijn Salon
Pay-as-you-go instead of pre-chosen tiers
CelerBook charges €0.25 excl. VAT per completed appointment with a cap of €30 plus €5 per active staff member. No usage in a month means no invoice. Mijn Salon asks you to pick a tier upfront (Host €9.95, Smart €19.95 or Professional €29.95 for solo; Free, Host, L €29.95 or XL €39.95 with staff) and charges that fixed amount every month per mijnsalon.nl/tarieven. For a just-launched or seasonal business, the CelerBook model is more predictable; for a steady-volume business that picks the right tier, Mijn Salon can be cheaper.
Transparent feature list versus tier-bound modules
With CelerBook everything is in one rate: KPI dashboard, client page, reliability score, bilingual NL+EN booking widget, quarterly VAT export and weekly analytics email. Mijn Salon works with modules (Marketing, Administration, Management, Booking, Consumer app) that differ per tier; the pricing page mentions which modules are where but keeps most feature details off the pricing page. To know exactly which features sit in which tier, you need to request a Mijn Salon demo.
Honesty about what is publicly published
Mijn Salon publishes few feature details publicly on mijnsalon.nl. Many rows in our comparison table show 'Not publicly documented' because we only claim what Mijn Salon itself publicly shows. For a definitive feature comparison, a demo at both vendors is the most honest route. CelerBook publishes its feature list fully on celerbook.com.

Example: solo hairdresser with 80 appointments per month, all CelerBook amounts excl. VAT. CelerBook: 75 × €0.25 = €18.75. Mijn Salon Host (solo): €9.95 per month. Mijn Salon Smart (solo): €19.95 per month. Mijn Salon Professional (solo): €29.95 per month. With 20 appointments in a quiet month you pay €3.75 in CelerBook; Mijn Salon still charges the full tier amount. For steady volume where Host (€9.95) is enough, Mijn Salon is cheaper than CelerBook. For quiet months or if you want analytics, VAT export and a real booking page without upgrading tier, CelerBook offers more for less.

Is Mijn Salon excl. or incl. VAT?
Mijn Salon publishes prices on mijnsalon.nl/tarieven without explicit VAT mention. For Dutch B2B software, excl. VAT is common, but we only cite what Mijn Salon itself publishes and cannot confirm. Verify this before signing a quote. CelerBook is in euros excluding VAT, fixed price per appointment.
What does Mijn Salon offer that CelerBook doesn't?
Mijn Salon offers multi-location support for chains, a white-label consumer app per salon, gift cards and stamp cards via Marketing module, and delivers hardware (card terminal, POS, receipt printer). CelerBook currently supports one location per business and does not offer these features. If you have multiple branches or run daily on gift cards, Mijn Salon fits better.
Does Mijn Salon offer a free trial?
Mijn Salon offers no self-service trial per mijnsalon.nl/tarieven. A free tier (Free) exists for the with-staff segment and a demo can be requested via mijnsalon.nl/demo-aanvragen. CelerBook gives the first 5 appointments per month free, ongoing with no time limit and no demo request.
Which features sit in which Mijn Salon tier?
Mijn Salon does not publish a full feature matrix per tier on mijnsalon.nl/tarieven. The pricing page names tier names (Host, Smart, Professional, L, XL and Free) but keeps most feature details off the pricing page. To check whether a specific feature sits in a specific tier, request a Mijn Salon demo. CelerBook publishes its full feature list on celerbook.com and has one pay-as-you-go rate.
Can I migrate my Mijn Salon data to CelerBook?
Not automatically right now. CelerBook has no CSV import for clients. Request an export from Mijn Salon support and enter the clients manually via Clients - New client. Up to 200 clients you handle that in about an hour. For larger salons, email info@celerbook.com for hands-on migration help.

Does CelerBook support multiple locations like Mijn Salon?
Not as a working feature today. CelerBook supports one location per business; the calendar and booking flow do not scope per location. Mijn Salon advertises multi-location support for chains. If you need more than one branch with its own calendar and staff per location, Mijn Salon fits better today.
What does SMS cost at Mijn Salon and at CelerBook?
CelerBook charges €0.11 excl. VAT per SMS via Twilio, uncapped. Mijn Salon has an SMS module but does not publish the price on mijnsalon.nl/tarieven; ask in a demo. Email confirmation and reminders ship in both systems as standard.

Not explicitly mentioned on mijnsalon.nl/tarieven or the product pages. Mijn Salon does deliver hardware (card terminal, POS) for in-store payments. CelerBook does not offer integrated online payments; clients pay in store after the service. If you want to prevent no-shows with deposits, check with Mijn Salon whether this is in a specific tier.
