What are the differences day to day?
The business model. Planity sells visibility: its directory is its flagship product, and its subscription is negotiated in a sales meeting.
RDV360 sells a tool that serves your brand: the price list is public, from €0 to €59.90 excl. VAT/month, and your clients book through your channels (website, Google Business Profile, social media). Directory visibility exists too, but as a bonus, not as the flagship product: every salon has its own page on the rdv360.com directory (8.1 million unique visitors and 1.4 million bookings over 12 months), included in every plan and with no commission on the bookings it receives.
The brand your clients hear from. A question to ask any marketplace: who signs the booking page, the SMS reminders and the emails your clients receive, your salon or the platform?
And where does the client go if you’re fully booked or closed, when the directory shows neighboring salons on the very next page?
At RDV360, we help you build your own brand image: your own reviews, your own website, SMS reminders in your salon’s name, and a client file that belongs to you.
Getting started. At RDV360, the Free plan (calendar, online booking, client file) is free, not just a 14-day trial. It’s the way in for independent professionals and new businesses, including mobile ones.
Cost over time. For a comparable plan (calendar + certified POS), the observed difference is roughly €650 to €900 excl. VAT per year; the detailed figures are in our article Planity: how much does it cost in 2026?. In late 2025, Planity customers also reported mid-contract price increases on Trustpilot.
Support. It’s the number one thing mentioned unprompted in our Trustpilot reviews (4.8/5): a team in Rennes, answers within hours, from real people our clients thank by their first name. On Planity’s side, the overall rating mixes consumers and professionals; complaints from salons are mostly about incident handling and billing.
What Planity does better
The planity.com directory is currently better known to the general public than rdv360.com: in highly competitive areas, it can make a difference in attracting clients. That’s the argument to weigh against the quote: it’s up to you to judge whether it alone justifies a budget 2 to 3 times higher for a comparable plan.
That said, Google is still where people start: it’s where your future clients look for you, before any directory. And on that front, RDV360 puts you forward: as an official Reserve with Google partner, it places the “Book” button right on your Google Business Profile, starting with the Free plan.
