How Taddoo compares
Taddoo is built for independent tattoo artists: every artist keeps their own app and data and can connect with a studio through Taddoo Studio. Booking link, deposits, consent forms, Tap to Pay, flash and a link in bio page come in one app, from $14 / €14 per month billed yearly, with no commission on revenue. If Porter already covers everything you need, there is no reason to switch; if you want it all in one app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and the web, try Taddoo free for 7 days.
