Switching questions

Why is Rervva cheaper?

Rervva is a newer product with a narrower focus and lower overhead, and we'd rather win on price and product than on marketing spend. The trade-off is that we don't sell hardware or in-house processing — you connect Stripe.

Can I import my clients from GlossGenius?

Yes. Export your client list from GlossGenius as a CSV and import it into Rervva. Clients are matched by phone and email so history stays attached to the right person.

What does Rervva cost?

Pro is $24.99/month, Studio is $49.99/month, both with a 14-day free trial. Rervva also takes a flat 2% on payments processed through the platform, on top of Stripe's own rate.

Is there a contract?

No. There's no setup fee, no contract and no exit fee. Cancel from your dashboard in two clicks and export your data to CSV whenever you like.
