$19.99 a seat, plus taxes and fees. Pilot first, pay later.

Per person, not per shop. Each seat is one barber, stylist, or tech — their own voice, number, calendar, waitlist, and brief. The seat moves with them if they change shops.

• 180 minutes included every month, then $0.12 per minute over — with a visible minute meter, so no surprise.
• Booking app included — no separate charge. Voice + booking app, one seat, one price. The booking app takes on your shop's name — PHINE. is the agent behind it, “Booked by PHINE.”.
• Shop bundle: 3 seats $49.99/mo, 5 seats $79.99/mo, extra seats $19.99 each — all plus taxes and fees. Booking-only (no voice) $9.99/mo, plus taxes and fees, only if you ask for it.
• $20 pilot credit to start, no card on file.
• Your voice answers, books, waitlists, and upsells once — never a service already booked.
• Cross-barber handoff — only if the whole shop opts in, and only when the caller asks “is anybody else available?”
• One short brief per booking — business bookings auto-book by default when the slot is free and the client says yes; you can opt out to approve-first.

• Your link only, confirmed valid — the agent may send a client your own Squire, Booksy, Fresha, or Square payment link to complete themselves, only if you provided it and confirmed it valid. Never invented, never guessed.
• No double links — if your booking system already sends a payment or deposit link automatically, PHINE. sends nothing.
• They complete it themselves — the client pays you directly on your link. PHINE. never takes payment details on a call.
• If no link is on record, PHINE. sends none — the agent says plainly: “The shop will send you their payment link.”
• Pay in person — a client can also book and pay in person at the shop, no payment link needed. After proposing a booking, the agent offers: “You can pay in person when you come in, or I can send you the shop's payment link to pay the deposit now — which would you like?” If they choose in person, the booking is confirmed as pay in person — no deposit hold, no link sent.
• Barbers, by default: no deposit. Most barbers take appointments without a deposit. The agent just asks: “Would you like to prepay now, or pay in store?” Prepay sends the shop's confirmed link (only if the booking system doesn't already send one); pay in store confirms the booking as pay in store — no hold, no deposit window.
• Deposit-gated bookings — only if that shop set the rule (tattoo shops especially). Some systems won't make an appointment unless a deposit is paid. Then the slot is held / pending deposit — not confirmed — until the client pays your confirmed link themselves. Only then is it confirmed. The hold window is set by the shop — default 24 hours from booking (tattoo artists especially use the 24-hour hold: the deposit holds the date). If the deposit isn't paid in that window, the hold releases and the slot goes back to the waitlist. PHINE. never confirms a booking before the deposit is paid, and never takes the deposit itself. Paying in person is different: a pay-in-person booking is confirmed immediately as paying in store — not held, no deposit window, no release to the waitlist. The provider manages their own accounting for pay-in-person money; PHINE. does not track it.
