Knowledge, running itself.
Everything we talked about on our call. The apps, the math, the reliability, the team behind the chair. Take your time. Send it to each other. Call Justav. Whatever helps.
Switching systems comes down to three questions.
Every barbershop thinking about changing platforms ends up at the same three concerns.
Does the math actually work. Is the customer and staff experience worth the switch. And when things break, or need to change, or need something new, is there a real team behind it.
This proposal answers all three. In that order.
What Squire is actually costing Knowledge.
Your out-of-pocket is $690/month. The real number is bigger. Drag the sliders to see the full picture.
Your customers catch it eventually. The ones who do often don't come back.
Plus the goodwill hit above. That one’s harder to price. But it’s not zero.
Three apps. One system. Yours.
We built Knowledge a working version of all three. Click in, try it, break it. Everything lives on your domain when you go live.
Your website. Your booking. Your brand.
Your customers book on knowledgebarbers.com. Not getsquire.com. Every barber has their own page. The experience is yours. The traffic is yours. The data is yours.
Everything built. Everything shipping. No vapor.
Squire is advertising AI features that are chatbots. We’re the opposite. Here’s the actual state of every feature you’d use at Knowledge — what’s live today, what we’re testing, what’s in development, what’s on the roadmap. If it’s not on this list, we’re not promising it.

Three ways to pay. One we’d recommend.
The math above changes depending on how you want to structure this relationship. We built three options because the market wants different things. Here’s each one, with live math tied to the calculator above.
Per Booking
Mix: customers booking online see a $2 fee; walk-ins and in-store pay nothing extra — the shop covers those.
- Square Stand + iPad hardware included
- $2 per booking, online or in-store
- Charge customers, absorb, or mix. Your rules.
- No monthly subscription
All-Inclusive
- Covers both locations, all 18 barbers
- Zero customer fees, zero per-booking markup
- Hardware included
- Locks for life with launch pricing
Partnership
- Hardware included
- Your booking fee, your rules
- Squire charges your customers $3 and keeps it. Here, you keep it.
- Every booking becomes revenue, not a cost
Come on as a launch partner.
We built all three options because different shops want different things. But if we could pick one, we’d pick the simplest version of the relationship — a flat rate, no transaction fees, no psychology, no counting bookings.
We’d rather be honest about what this costs than gatekeep features behind tiers.
$1,750/mo + $250/additional location
Everything we build, included forever.
Locked at this rate for as long as you stay.
You shape what gets built next.
That’s the option we’d shake hands on. The other three are there if this one doesn’t fit.
The questions that matter when you’re changing systems.
Take your time. We’ll be here.
Click around the apps. Send this to each other. Text Justav. Sit with the math. When you’re ready, we’re ready.
Two ways to move forward:
Fourteen days from yes to live. We handle everything.
No pressure. No follow-up spam. We’ll be here when you decide.
