Honest comparison

Tattoo Ledger vs Goldie

Goldie (formerly Appointfix) is a polished, well-reviewed booking app serving 150,000+ beauty professionals — hair, nails, lashes, and yes, some tattoo artists. If you want a lightweight mobile scheduler, it’s a fine product.

The comparison comes down to one question: do you want a beauty app that accommodates tattooing, or software built for nothing else?

Where Goldie is genuinely strong: mobile apps, SMS reminders (paid), and a generous free tier for very light use.

Switch to Tattoo Ledger if…

  • You run drops or a waitlist and screen clients before booking
  • You need waivers that would hold up — ID capture, minors, versioning
  • You book sleeves and large pieces across many sessions
  • You want one flat CAD price instead of tier-shopping

Stay on Goldie if…

  • You mostly need a free, simple mobile scheduler for walk-in-style bookings
  • SMS reminders are non-negotiable (Tattoo Ledger reminders are email-only today)
