ABOUT

One word, like the light on your porch.

A porchlight means someone’s home, and you’re welcome. That’s what a good local salon feels like - and what its software should feel like too.

Porchlight started with a simple observation: much of the software running New Zealand’s salons charges more as the business grows. Some charge for every staff member, some charge more as the diary fills - so the reward for growing your team or getting busier is a bigger software bill. We thought that was the wrong thing to charge for.

So we price the way a good landlord does: one fair rate for the whole place. NZ$59 a month covers your entire team, up to eight staff. We don’t take commission on your bookings, because they’re your bookings. And your client list exports to CSV any time, because it was never ours to keep.

We’re NZ-based and building Porchlight alongside the first salons and spas to use it around the country - real floors, real Saturdays.

What we hold ourselves to

Flat pricing, forever

One price for the business, not per person. Your hiring decisions are none of our billing’s business.

No commission

We sell software, not a marketplace. Every dollar of every booking is yours.

Your data is yours

CSV export on every plan, any time. Leaving should be easy - that’s what keeps us honest.

No borrowed praise

You won’t find testimonials or star ratings here yet - we’re new, and we won’t invent them. We’d rather show you the pricing maths.
