Vagaro makes you wait a week. Square holds for 1-2 days. Smooth Intentions pays you the same day a client walks out the door — automatically, every time.
Every day your money sits in someone else's account is a day it's not in yours. Here's how Smooth Intentions stacks up.

After years on Vagaro, getting paid same-day feels surreal. I used to float a week of revenue at all times. That's just not happening anymore.
The scheduling AI genuinely surprised me. It filled three gaps in my week I didn't even know I had. And the payouts hit before I even get home.
I was paying Square $0.25 per instant transfer. Every. Single. Day. That math was embarrassing. Smooth Intentions fixed it on day one.
