Where Boulevard wins
- Software built around the client experience, with self-booking and two-way texting.
- Unlimited professionals on the Premier plan.
- An onboarding specialist helps set you up.
- Forms, text marketing and automated campaigns available as you grow.
Where Kiri wins
- Discovery: Boulevard has no marketplace. Kiri exists to bring new clients.
- $0 to list, against $143 a month and up.
- No demo call: send a form and the Kiri team builds your page.
- Clients find you by the hairstyle they want, from search and AI answers.
You can run both.
Kiri is not a point-of-sale and does not try to be one. Boulevard runs the appointment book and the checkout; Kiri sends new clients toward it. Accept a Kiri request, then book it in Boulevard like a call to the front desk.
Boulevard fits best
When the client experience at the front desk is the priority, and you have the budget for premium software sold by demo.
Kiri fits best
Solo stylists, small teams and salons of any size that want new clients to find them by the work they do, a page built to rank for their name and area, and booking requests without paying a platform for the privilege.
