Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
A sensible pick for Indian single- and multi-location salons or spas wanting an all-in-one system with WhatsApp marketing and GST-aware billing without heavy setup. The watch-out is that it's a smaller bootstrapped vendor, so test multi-location reporting, data export and support during a trial.

In short
Zylu is listed under Salon, Spa & Wellness, reviewed for Indian buyers. It costs about ₹625/mo before GST, billed in rupees. It issues an India GST invoice, so you can claim input credit. FindThatSoftware rates it best for Indian salons and spas digitizing manual ops; a poor fit for multi location chains beyond 50 staff, because the published tiers stop there and anything larger becomes a custom sales conversation.
What Zylu costs in India
The rupee price a business actually pays, after the card forex markup, with GST shown both ways.
True India price
Registered business, per month, billed yearly
₹625
Zylu is billed in rupees at ₹624.92/mo, so there is no forex markup. A registered business reclaims GST, so that is roughly the cost (₹7,499/yr). Without reclaim, add 18% for about ₹737 a month.

What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.
What is Zylu?
Zylu is a bootstrapped, India-focused cloud platform for beauty and wellness businesses moving off pen, paper and Excel. It bundles appointment scheduling with automated reminders, POS billing, customer profiles, staff scheduling and attendance, inventory and expense tracking, loyalty, and marketing over SMS, WhatsApp and email, with web plus iOS and Android apps.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Staff seats, SKU counts and appointment volume are published per tier, so you can see which tier your salon outgrows before buying
- Annual subscriptions carry a 14 day full refund guarantee, and self setup is free rather than a mandatory onboarding charge
- Done for you setup is a one time fee plus GST, which is light against the implementation fees most salon suites quote
The catch
- The Lite tier caps appointments at 300 a month and stock at 25 SKUs, which a two chair salon with retail passes quickly
- Staff counts are hard tier limits of 4, 10, 15 and 50, so hiring one extra stylist can force a whole tier upgrade
- WhatsApp API messaging and the ZAP AI message generator sit in a separate add-on subscription outside the plan price, with Meta conversation charges on top
- The 14 day money back guarantee is written for annual subscriptions, so monthly buyers do not get the same no questions asked exit
Best for
- Indian salons and spas digitizing manual ops
- Multi-location beauty and wellness brands
- Owners wanting WhatsApp/SMS marketing built in
Who should avoid it
- Multi location chains beyond 50 staff, because the published tiers stop there and anything larger becomes a custom sales conversation
- Salon owners who want WhatsApp campaigns inside the base price, since that runs on a separate add-on subscription plus Meta conversation fees

Zylu questions
Does Zylu give a GST invoice in India?
- Zylu issues an India GST invoice, so a GST-registered business can claim input tax credit on it directly.
Is Zylu good for Indian small businesses?
- It suits Indian salons and spas digitizing manual ops. It bills in rupees and issues a GST invoice, so a registered business claims the GST back. It is not the right pick for multi location chains beyond 50 staff, because the published tiers stop there and anything larger becomes a custom sales conversation.
Does Zylu have a free plan?
- Zylu does not list a permanent free plan in FindThatSoftware data. Check the official pricing page for trial terms and current offers.
