A deep all-in-one platform from an established vendor — compared with Astra’s walk-in-first salon POS.
Meevo is a mature, all-in-one salon and spa platform from Millennium with a dedicated med-spa edition. Below is an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with Astra POS — the all-in-one POS built for walk-in nail, hair and beauty salons.
One flat monthly price with unlimited staff and every salon feature included — plus free POS hardware with qualifying programs, Dual Pricing / Cash Discount to offset card fees, and 24/7 support in English, Vietnamese & Spanish.
See Astra POS pricing →Pricing shown is as of 2026 and may change — verify on Meevo’s official site. Best for: Established and growing multi-service salons, spas and franchises that want deep management tooling.
Visit Meevo pricing →Astra POS: Full appointment calendar with multi-service, multi-technician tickets, color-coded staff columns and drag-and-drop rescheduling — in the same system that runs your walk-in floor.
Meevo: Deep, configurable scheduling from a long-established salon software vendor.
Astra POS: A customer-facing self check-in tablet feeds a live walk-in queue, so every walk-in is captured, tracked and routed automatically — no paper sign-in sheet.
Meevo: Genuinely strong here — Meevo includes a self check-in kiosk and a client waitlist with wait-time estimates, though it is described in client terms rather than a technician turn-rotation system.
Astra POS: A built-in technician turn queue rotates walk-ins fairly by turn, least earnings or services completed — the core of how busy nail and hair shops keep the floor fair.
Meevo: Has a walk-in waitlist and kiosk, but a true technician turn / rotation fairness system is not clearly documented.
Astra POS: Automated tip splitting distributes gratuities across every technician on a ticket by service value, evenly or a manual amount, and prints an individual earnings summary for each tech.
Meevo: Automated multi-tech tip splitting is not surfaced as a documented feature.
Astra POS: Built-in payroll with commission, hourly and tip tracking — no separate add-on, export or third-party tool.
Meevo: Available within its all-in-one suite; capabilities vary by tier.
Astra POS: Built-in email and SMS marketing plus Google review automation, included rather than sold as a separate module.
Meevo: Robust built-in marketing and membership tooling.
Astra POS: Included online booking that writes straight into the same calendar and queue your front desk already uses.
Meevo: Included, with strong multi-location support.
Astra POS: Built-in processing with Dual Pricing and Cash Discount to offset card fees, the flexibility to review your rate, and free POS hardware with qualifying programs.
Meevo: MeevoPay is the integrated processor (quote-only rates) and it does allow switching; the first terminal is free, but there is no documented Dual Pricing / Cash Discount mode.
Astra POS: 24/7 support in English, Vietnamese and Spanish, plus local installation and hands-on staff training.
Meevo: Support varies; 24/7 multilingual coverage is not advertised.
