Why owners move to Booxt
No app for your clients
GlossGenius is beautiful, but clients still tap through a booking page. Booxt books the whole thing in a normal text — which is how your clients already message you.
Answers calls, not just texts
Booxt texts back every missed call and books the caller. That’s revenue GlossGenius simply doesn’t catch.
Deposits, in any language
Both take deposits to stop no-shows — Booxt also replies in whatever language your client texts.
In fairness: GlossGenius has excellent built-in payments and POS. Booxt keeps you on your own payment processor and focuses on booking + conversation.
See it before you switch
Text the live demo — it’ll book you an appointment like a real customer in about 60 seconds. Then set up your own in 5 minutes, by text.
