CallPad vs Voksha: which AI receptionist fits your salon or spa?

What's the short answer?

Choose CallPad if:

• you run a salon, spa, med spa or clinic on Mindbody, Zenoti, Phorest, SalonIQ, Shortcuts, Cliniko or another system CallPad lists
• you want the AI to move and cancel appointments itself, not just pass the request on
• you want multi-service bookings, deposits on the call and gift cards

Choose Voksha if:

• you book in Vagaro, Outlook or Apple iCloud, which Voksha names and CallPad doesn't book into yet
• you mainly need calls answered and messages taken, without booking
• you run a business outside beauty, such as a law firm, trade or restaurant

What happens on a call?

With CallPad, a caller can book, move or cancel with the stylist they ask for, book several services in one visit, ask about prices, pay a deposit, buy a gift card or ask for a person. Your team gets an email when a message is taken, and every call is in your dashboard with a transcript and recording.

Voksha answers service, price and hours questions, captures the caller's details and sends you a summary by email or text. Urgent calls can ring your phone. On Premium it checks your calendar and books (Voksha).

Who is each one best for?

• CallPad is best for salons, spas, med spas and clinics that want every call handled end to end in their booking software, including reschedules, cancellations, multi-service bookings and deposits, in the US, UK, Australia or Canada.
• Voksha is best for small businesses that mainly want every call answered and summarised, businesses on Vagaro, Outlook or iCloud calendars, and firms outside beauty such as law, trades and restaurants.

Either way, make test calls with your real call types before you decide. Our guide on how accurate an AI receptionist is at booking has a test list.

How CallPad helps

CallPad is an AI receptionist for salons, spas, med spas and clinics in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. It answers every call 24/7, handles several calls at once and screens out spam calls. It answers questions from your own information, including your prices, and speaks several languages. It books, moves and cancels appointments in real time with a named stylist or practitioner on the booking systems CallPad works with, including multi-service bookings, and can take a deposit or payment on the call or sell a gift card. If you have more than one location, it asks which one the caller wants and books into that location's calendar. It also replies to texts and can book by text, sends missed-call text-backs and texts clients on your waitlist when a slot opens up. When a caller needs a person, it transfers the call to your team or takes a message, and your team gets an email saying what the caller wanted. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
