Where they differ
Boulevard's plans and features change; check joinblvd.com for the current tiers and prices. Checked 9 November 2026. 'Not listed' means we could not find it on Boulevard's site on that date. The honest summary: Boulevard does more, for a bigger or more spa-like business, with a demo and an onboarding plan. Ozync does the front desk a busy salon uses every day, at a flat price, with nobody to call.

Why a self-serve, flat-priced setup matters
- No demo, no contract, no onboarding calendar. Create the business, add services and staff, and the kiosk works the same day.
- One price per location with unlimited staff, so adding a stylist doesn't move you up a tier.
- Walk-ins are first-class: a kiosk at the door, a per-stylist queue on the TV, a text when it's their turn.
- Ozy, the voice assistant on the kiosk, checks clients in by talking, in English, Spanish or Vietnamese.
- Every client gets an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass for your salon.
- Waivers are in the base plan, and you keep the card processor you already use: Stripe, Square or Clover.
- Free for your first 25 clients, so you can run a real Saturday on it before you pay anything.
What Boulevard does that Ozync doesn't
Boulevard is deeper on the appointment side: precision scheduling that packs the calendar, HIPAA-compliant charting for medspas, buy-now-pay-later at checkout, Shopify inventory sync, payroll and commission connections, franchise and enterprise tooling, and an API on its top tier. If you run a spa or medspa group that needs charting and a dedicated onboarding team, Boulevard is built for that. Ozync has no charting, payroll or public API; its strength is the shop floor.
