How much does MoeGo cost?
As of 2026, MoeGo is priced from about $39 to $239 per month depending on plan size, and SMS texting is a separate add-on that runs roughly $100 per month. That puts a realistic all-in cost around $139–$200/month for a solo operation. By comparison, GroomBoard is a flat $19/month (Solo) or $39/month (Salon) with SMS reminders already included.
MoeGo uses tiered monthly pricing that scales with plan size and feature set, published from roughly $39/month at the entry level up to about $239/month for larger plans. The figure most groomers underestimate is texting: automated SMS and two-way messaging sit in a paid add-on that commonly adds around $100/month, so the headline price and the real invoice can differ substantially.
For a solo or small-shop groomer who actually wants text reminders — the feature most groomers consider non-negotiable — the practical all-in cost lands closer to $139–$200/month once the SMS add-on is included. Texting is the line item that moves the total.
GroomBoard takes the opposite approach: $19/month for Solo and $39/month for Salon, flat, with automated SMS appointment reminders and booking confirmations included rather than metered or sold as an add-on. There is no setup fee and a 14-day free trial with no credit card. For the full line-by-line breakdown with current MoeGo tiers, see the comparison below.

How much does pet grooming software cost?
Most pet grooming software costs between about $20 and $200+ per month, depending on the tier, the number of groomers, and whether SMS texting is an extra add-on. GroomBoard is a flat $19/month (Solo) or $39/month (Salon) with SMS reminders included and a 14-day free trial — no setup fee and no per-message texting charges.
Is there free dog grooming software?
There are a few free or freemium grooming tools, but they typically cap the number of clients, leave out SMS reminders, or fund themselves with ads and paid add-ons. GroomBoard is not free, but at $19/month with a 14-day free trial (no credit card) it usually ends up cheaper than a "free" tool once you add the booking and texting features groomers actually rely on.
What software do dog groomers use?
Dog groomers use grooming-specific business software to handle online booking, calendar scheduling, client and pet records, and automated SMS reminders. Common options include GroomBoard, MoeGo, Gingr, DaySmart Pet, and Groomsoft — and independent or mobile groomers often choose a lighter, flat-priced tool like GroomBoard at $19/month.
Do dog groomers need insurance?
Yes — most working groomers carry general liability insurance plus pet-care (animal bailee) coverage, and it is often required before you can rent salon space or get a business license. For an independent groomer, combined coverage typically runs in the range of $30 to $60 per month, though it varies by location, coverage limits, and claims history.
