Detailed Review
Planity plays the same role for French hairdressing and beauty that Doctolib plays for French healthcare: a consumer-facing network where clients already search and book, so a salon joining becomes findable rather than merely bookable. That is a materially different proposition from SimplyBook.me or Eversports, which sell software but bring no built-in demand of their own.
Behind the marketplace sits ordinary salon software — calendar, online booking, client files, reminders — but the marketplace reach is the reason salons pay for it. Planity's own pricing is not published; access is arranged through a demo, which is less transparent than cituro's or Bookwhen's published tiers.
Planity SAS is registered in Paris, created in 2016 according to the French official business register, and operates mainly in France with a smaller presence in Belgium and Germany. It is the closest thing in this category to a second Doctolib-style network, just for a different kind of appointment.
