Who should stay on Kitomba
We'd rather you didn't switch if:
- You want an Australian and New Zealand salon vendor with phone support on every plan, which Kitomba lists on its pages.
- You take in-person payments and want Kitomba Pay EFTPOS terminals from the same company as your bookings.
- You use Kitomba's stock and inventory, targets and incentives or multi-location tools, and a quote from them fits your budget.
Switching is a checklist, not a leap.
You keep trading the whole time, and you approve the result before a single client sees it.

Kitomba figures read from its own pages on 22/10/2026; where a page doesn't say, we say so rather than guess. Kitomba is a trademark of its owner; Dayfill isn't affiliated with it. Prices change, so check Kitomba's pricing page and Kitomba's home page for current ones.
