Does EchoCue work with my booking app?

Yes! EchoCue integrates with any booking app that syncs with Google Calendar, including Square Appointments, Booksy, Vagaro, Schedulicity, and more. We also support Zapier, Make, and n8n for custom integrations.

Can I send reminders from my own phone number?

Absolutely! With our mobile app, reminders are sent from your personal or shop phone number. Clients see your name and number, not a random shortcode. This builds trust and increases response rates.

How much does EchoCue cost for barbershops?

EchoCue offers a free trial to get started. Paid plans start at an affordable monthly rate that typically pays for itself after preventing just 1-2 no-shows. Most barbershops see ROI within the first week.

Can each barber in my shop use their own phone?

Yes! Each barber can install the EchoCue app on their own phone and send reminders from their personal number. Perfect for shops with independent barbers or booth renters.

Scale

One shop or a chain?

Every location keeps its own number, and every reply lands in one dashboard so no client goes unheard, no matter which shop they walked into. Add a shop by pairing a phone and printing a QR code.

Pair an Android phone per shop for SMS. Each phone keeps its own SIM and carrier plan, with no gateway fees on paid plans.
Add a WhatsApp Business number per brand or region. Templates and approvals stay isolated per number so nothing crosses over.
Every SMS and WhatsApp thread lands in one unified inbox on Growth and Scale, with a per-thread badge showing which number received it.

Plan limits: 1 device on Free and Starter, 4 on Growth, 12 on Scale. SMS phones and WhatsApp numbers share the same limit.

No-shows under 5% within 30 days
Cancellations fill in 90 seconds via the waitlist
Zero manual confirmation calls
Rebook nudges fire at the right interval, so repeat business climbs
