What “0% commission from UNLIMOS” means

It does not mean every cost in your business is zero.

It means: when a client pays for a visit through the UNLIMOS path, your business is the one that gets paid. UNLIMOS does not take a marketplace cut of that booking. Payment processors you choose (for example Stripe or Square where available) may still charge their own processing fees — that is separate from a UNLIMOS marketplace commission.

THE NEW ERA OF RUNNING A BUSINESS

Running a salon, spa, barbershop, tattoo studio, or any appointment business used to mean juggling calendars, DMs, reminders, client notes, and payments across tools that were never built for how you actually work.

That era is ending for operators who want one system.

UNLIMOS is not “a slightly cheaper booking tool.” It is built around a different posture: you own the calendar, the client record, and the inbox path where possible — without turning every new channel into another middleman.

• Unlimited chairs on the free forever core — no UNLIMOS per-chair seat tax on that core.
• The business is paid. No UNLIMOS marketplace commission on payments through the UNLIMOS path.
• Messages and comments can become clients and bookings on supported channels, when those integrations are enabled.
• One calendar board for every chair on the free forever core — unlimited chairs, one system of record.
• One client card — visits, photos, files, notes, the thread, and the money in one place (features as available on your plan).

And you can start running online quickly — typically in minutes for a basic setup, not a week of setup theater (exact time depends on your catalog, staff, and imports).

Human-grade AI receptionist (built by UNLIMOS AI)

The UNLIMOS AI receptionist answers clients and can book, move, and cancel appointments — 24/7 — with human-like conversation quality on supported messaging channels — live on Instagram, WhatsApp, and web chat; SMS live for reminders; more messengers Soon (Telegram, Messenger, Viber, Apple Messages / iMessage, WeChat, LINE, KakaoTalk) — subject to each platform’s policies and your enabled integrations.

It is built for real appointment work: hair, nails, tattoo, makeup, brows, lashes, barber, spa, bridal, medspa scheduling, piercing, pet grooming — and other calendar-based businesses. Individual results vary; the AI assists with messaging and booking workflows and does not replace licensed professionals or clinical judgment where those are required.

A photo can become the brief: service, size, time, price, and the right specialist — when that workflow is enabled for your business.

One system for the whole business

Booking — Confirmed. Pending hold. Request day & time. Preferred days. Custom page. Personal staff links for Instagram, Google, TikTok, and ads. Pay at salon, deposit, or full payment. Tips on or off.

Request day & time and Preferred days are useful when the calendar cannot be a rigid open grid: tattoo studios, permanent makeup, medspa and aesthetics consults, bridal and event makeup, photographers, personal trainers, consultants, and other custom or long-session work.

Clients — Import from many booking apps or CRMs — free on the core. Not just a contact list: the person. Visits, photos, files, notes, conversations, and payments on one card.

Inbox — One thread with the person. A public comment can become a client card when comment-to-book is enabled. Stories and free-slot boards for demand where supported.

Inventory & money — The visit can draw stock. Accept payments with no marketplace commission from UNLIMOS. Finance and pay splits in one place. Stripe and Square where they operate; other rails on request.

Marketing you can see — Track where clients come from: Instagram, Google Maps, Google Ads, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, email, web, and staff links (as connected).

Built for appointment businesses

Beauty and hair salons. Barbershops. Nail salons. Massage and bodywork. Spas and skincare. Brows, lashes, waxing, permanent makeup. Tattoo and piercing. Medspa and aesthetics appointment businesses. Makeup, bridal, and beauty studios. Pet grooming — and other businesses that live on the calendar.

Free forever. Pay only for what you use.

• Free forever core to run your business: calendars, clients, online booking, unlimited staff chairs, finance, loyalty, inventory, and more — as listed on current pricing.
• Pay as you go for SMS, email, and AI.
• Pro only when you need more (including multi-location and related options).

No UNLIMOS seat tax on the free forever core. No UNLIMOS marketplace commission. 200+ countries (feature and payment availability can vary by country).

Native MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, and autonomous agents

UNLIMOS includes native MCP so staff can connect ChatGPT, Claude, and autonomous agents to the business desk — a staff-side connector for how modern teams work with AI. This is separate from the client-facing AI receptionist.

UNLIMOS made MCP available free for everyone on March 1, 2026. In the months after that, other platforms announced their own MCP-related features — including marketplace-shaped ones. Announcing an MCP is easy. Shipping an owner-calendar booking path is a different product choice.
