Quick facts

Answer: Remind each client just before their service's usual rebooking window and give them a reason to book that week; PEKO does this from one place, combining appointment booking, Receipt Scan loyalty, Group Check-In for groups and friends, and an AI Agent that sets up rebooking and win-back campaigns from one message, free up to 300 members, then S$49. Pick Idle instead if you want one suite for inventory and packages, or Fresha if its marketplace brings you new clients.

The PEKO ecosystem

PEKO and LOOP are two products from the same company. PEKO is the AI retention layer and runs alongside the POS you already use. LOOP is the AI-native POS that covers operations: recipe-level inventory, staff shifts, table plans and the kitchen display. Each works on its own, and run together they share one dataset, so nothing has to be entered twice. See PEKO + LOOP in one ecosystem

The honest one-paragraph per tool

PEKO

Our product

Best at: Appointment booking plus Receipt Scan loyalty, Group Check-In for friends, and an AI Agent that sets up rebooking and win-back campaigns from one message.
Weakness: PEKO does not run inventory, packages or payroll. Keep your current system for those, and let PEKO handle booking-to-rebooking retention.
Pricing: Free up to 300 members, then S$49; 0% commission, cancel anytime.
Choose PEKO if…: Salons, nail, lash and spa studios whose main problem is clients not rebooking.

PEKO pricing: free up to 300 members, then S$49/month on the Standard plan, 0% commission, cancel anytime.

Idle

Best at: A Singapore salon suite with online booking, an AI WhatsApp agent, and loyalty, packages and inventory on its Grow plan.
Weakness: Loyalty and marketing automations are on Grow, not Solo (idlebooking.com, checked Oct 2026). Fine if you want one suite, while PEKO adds retention on a free plan.
Pricing: Solo S$15 per month per store, billed yearly (idlebooking.com, checked Oct 2026).
Choose Idle if…: Salons that want booking, inventory and packages in one suite.

Fresha

Best at: A global booking marketplace and salon system that can bring new clients.
Weakness: Client Loyalty is a paid add-on and marketplace clients carry a one-time new-client fee (fresha.com, checked Oct 2026). Worth it if the marketplace fills your chair.
Pricing: Independent $19.95/month; Team $14.95/month per bookable team member (fresha.com, checked Oct 2026).
Choose Fresha if…: Salons that win most new clients from the Fresha marketplace.

Most salon clients don't leave because of one bad visit; they simply drift past their usual window and book somewhere convenient. The fix is timing: a reminder just before the window, with a small reason to book that week.

Rebooking cycles

Typical guidance only: every client's hair, nails and skin differ, so set your own timing from your booking history. The AI Agent can time a reminder just before each window.

- Nails (gel, extensions), About 3 to 4 weeks. Remind around week 3.

- Lash refills, About 2 to 3 weeks. Remind around day 18.

How PEKO handles this

Know who's about to stop coming

PEKO flags regulars who are drifting away and brings them back with automatic reminders.

Why PEKO for salons and spas

Appointment booking, online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders.

Receipt Scan Loyalty: clients snap the receipt after the appointment and points land in seconds, whatever they paid with. No POS integration and no front-desk step.

Group Check-In: friends who come in together (a bridal party, a mum and daughter) each scan one QR and join, so every guest becomes a client you can invite back, not only the one who paid.

AI Agent: type “Remind lash clients 18 days after their last set, WhatsApp only, free lash bath for rebooking this week” and the Agent builds the segment, offer and message, then waits for your Approve.

Price: free up to 300 members, then S$49, 0% commission, cancel anytime.

When another tool fits better

If you want one suite for inventory, packages and an AI WhatsApp agent that replies to clients, Idle is built for Singapore salons. If the Fresha marketplace brings you most new clients, keep it for discovery and use PEKO to bring them back. Already on one? See /singapore/idle or /singapore/fresha.

FAQ

How soon should I remind a lash client to rebook?

Lash refills usually fall about 2 to 3 weeks apart, so a reminder around day 18 is a common starting point. Adjust it from your own booking history.

Does PEKO have appointment booking?

Yes. PEKO includes online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders, alongside Receipt Scan loyalty, Group Check-In and the AI Agent, so a salon or spa can take bookings and bring clients back from one place.

Can PEKO work beside Fresha or Idle?

Yes. Keep your booking app, put the PEKO QR at the counter and import your client list by CSV; PEKO's AI Agent then runs rebooking and win-back campaigns.

Does receipt-scan loyalty capture every sale?

It records every visit a client chooses to claim, whatever the payment method. Prompts at the counter and AI rebooking reminders raise the share of clients who claim. Full answer: /answers/does-receipt-scan-loyalty-capture-every-sale.

What can the PEKO AI Agent do?

It turns a plain-language request into a ready voucher, customer segment, campaign, loyalty rule, menu or points change. You review and approve; nothing goes live without you.

Next step

Turn this into repeat visits

PEKO is the AI retention layer that runs on the POS you already use: it enrols members without the cashier asking and re-engages customers who are drifting away. Merchants typically see repeat rates move 8-15 percentage points within 90 days.
