Square handles payments.
Bizily handles everything.
Square is a payments company that added appointments. Bizily is an AI-native platform built for salons from day one. That difference matters.
The Architecture Difference
Square (Payments-First)
Square built a payments platform, then added appointments as a feature. AI is an afterthought—basic automations, no learning, no real intelligence.
Bizily (AI-Native)
Bizily built AI at the core, then added everything else on top. Every feature is enhanced by AI that learns, remembers, and improves.
What AI-Native Means for You
AI That Runs Your Business
Square gives you reminders. Bizily gives you an AI that handles booking, answers questions, sends follow-ups, and gets smarter every week.
One Brain, All Channels
Square can't read your Instagram DMs. Bizily's AI handles Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, LINE, and more—with context that travels.
Built for Salons, Not Everyone
Square is the same for florists, consultants, and salons. Bizily is purpose-built with classes, waitlists, team scheduling, and service variants.
