Groomsoft: Pricing, Features & Login (2026)

Groomsoft is pet grooming business software launched in 2010, offering appointment scheduling, client and pet records, online booking, and text reminders. It has two plans — Grooming Shops at $29.95/month and Mobile Groomers at $39.90/month — with SMS beyond the free allowance sold as separate packs. It is a long-standing product, but many groomers find its interface dated compared to newer tools like GroomBoard.

Groomsoft has two plans: Grooming Shops at $29.95/month and Mobile Groomers at $39.90/month, both with no contract. Text reminders are free up to a small monthly allowance, but heavy SMS users buy SMS packs ranging from $10 to $350 (3.5¢ to 10¢ per message). A 30-day free demo is available. Pricing as of April 2026, source: groomsoft.com/pricing.

MoeGo has the deeper feature set and Groomsoft the lower sticker price, and both meter texting. Scheduling: MoeGo adds a customer portal, two-way texting, and automatic route optimization for vans; Groomsoft covers online booking, a calendar, and route mapping in a plainer interface. Pricing as of August 2026: Groomsoft is $29.95 a month for shops and $39.90 for mobile groomers with 100 free texts then prepaid packs; MoeGo starts at $49 per van or $79 per location with 200 texts and climbs to $159 or $239. Mobile support: both map the day's stops, MoeGo reorders them for you. A solo mobile groomer counting dollars lands on Groomsoft; a multi-van operation that wants automation lands on MoeGo. GroomBoard sits under both at $19 with 250 texts and a calendar that suggests a better stop order when it would save real minutes and miles.

Groomsoft accounts are managed entirely by Groomsoft — go to groomsoft.com and use the login link in their site header. GroomBoard is a separate product and cannot access or reset a Groomsoft account. If you are signing in to export your client list because you are shopping for something newer, GroomBoard imports a Groomsoft CSV during your free trial and migration help is free.

Not a store app. Groomsoft describes itself as a cloud-based application, and its site lists no iPhone or Android app, so on a phone you open the browser and sign in at app.groomsoft.com, the same address the Login link in its header goes to. GroomBoard works the same way at heart but installs from the browser as a web app, so it sits on your home screen and opens full screen like a native app without a store download.

Three main reasons. First, modern UI: Groomsoft's interface feels dated to many groomers; GroomBoard ships a clean, mobile-first dashboard. Second, SMS pricing: Groomsoft's pay-per-message SMS packs add up; GroomBoard bundles SMS into the base subscription with no per-message cost. Third, multi-pet booking: GroomBoard handles multi-pet bookings (e.g., three dogs from one household in a single booking) cleanly.

Yes. GroomBoard Solo is $19/month flat versus Groomsoft's $29.95/month for shops or $39.90/month for mobile groomers. For mobile groomers specifically, you save about $250 per year — and that is before factoring in SMS pack costs that Groomsoft charges separately.

Yes. Export your client and pet list from Groomsoft as CSV, and we will help you import everything into GroomBoard during your free trial. Most groomers complete the switch in under 30 minutes. Your existing clients will not notice any disruption — just share your new booking link.

Yes. GroomBoard is mobile-first by design — the same dashboard runs on your phone in the van. Address capture is built into the booking page, SMS reminders go out automatically (cutting same-day no-shows that hurt mobile routes the most), and the calendar view groups appointments cleanly by day so you can plan your route. The $19/mo Solo plan is designed exactly for solo mobile operators.

For software, yes. Solo includes 250 texts a month and Salon 600, and a pack of 100 more is $5 a month if you need it, so there is no per message fee and no surprise overage. Stripe charges its standard processing fee on payments (2.9% plus 30 cents) and GroomBoard adds nothing on top. There are no setup fees and no per user charges below the 5 groomer Salon cap.
