GrooMore vs GroomBoard

Updated

In short

GrooMore offers a free entry plan plus paid tiers at roughly $39, $59, and $79/month, with route planning built in. GroomBoard is $9/month (Starter), $19/month (Solo), or $39/month (Salon) with SMS reminders included at every paid tier. If your budget is zero, GrooMore's free plan wins; the moment you need automation, GroomBoard costs about half.

The comparison that matters is not free versus paid — it is what happens when the free tier stops being enough.

Automation Costs Less

GrooMore puts automation behind its $39/mo Basic tier. GroomBoard includes SMS reminders from the $9/mo Starter plan.

No Tier Ladder to Climb

GrooMore steps $39 → $59 → $79. GroomBoard has three plans and the top one is $39/mo for up to five groomers.

Same Mobile-First Idea

Both run properly on a phone. GrooMore adds route planning; GroomBoard keeps the day view simple and fast.

Where GrooMore genuinely wins

GrooMore's free plan is a real free plan, not a trial. If you are starting a mobile round from scratch with no revenue yet, that is worth more than any discount we can offer — take the free tier and come back when reminders start mattering. GrooMore also ships route planning, which GroomBoard does not.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GrooMore?▼
GrooMore is pet grooming software built mobile-first, with route planning, breed-specific grooming notes, appointment scheduling, and client records. It offers a free entry plan aimed at new mobile groomers, with paid tiers adding automation. It is a capable, lower-profile option that often gets overlooked next to MoeGo and Gingr.
How much does GrooMore cost?▼
GrooMore publishes three paid tiers as of July 2026: roughly $39/month (Basic), $59/month (Premium), and $79/month (Ultimate), alongside a free plan for new mobile groomers. The free tier is genuinely free rather than a trial, with paid tiers unlocking automation features. Confirm current figures at groomore.com/pricing before budgeting.
Is GroomBoard cheaper than GrooMore?▼
On paid plans, yes. GroomBoard Solo is $19/month flat, which is about half GrooMore's $39/month Basic tier and roughly a quarter of its $79/month Ultimate. GroomBoard also has a $9/month Starter plan. But GrooMore has something GroomBoard does not: a permanently free entry tier. If your budget is genuinely zero right now, GrooMore's free plan beats any paid product, including ours.
When does GrooMore's free plan stop being enough?▼
Usually when you want automation. The free tier covers the basics; automated reminders and the workflow features that actually cut no-shows sit on the paid tiers at $39/month and up. That is the moment worth comparing: at the point GrooMore asks for $39/month, GroomBoard Solo does the same core job for $19/month with SMS reminders included.
What does GrooMore do that GroomBoard does not?▼
Route planning, primarily. GrooMore is built mobile-first with route planning included, which matters if you run a multi-stop van day and want the software to sequence it. GroomBoard groups appointments by day and shows them in order, but does not compute optimized routes. GrooMore's free tier is also a real advantage for groomers starting from nothing.
Can I migrate my data from GrooMore to GroomBoard?▼
Yes. Export your client and pet list from GrooMore as CSV and we will import it into GroomBoard during your free trial. Most groomers finish in under 30 minutes, and your clients just get a new booking link.
