Fair is fair: here is what Noona HQ genuinely does well.
Advertised as free software, but there is no free plan today: a 14-day trial, then from 15 dollars a month for one person, with per-seat pricing for teams, always in dollars. Reminders go out by SMS only, and messages beyond your plan cost 0.09 dollars each.
Where it shines
A genuinely vertical product for barbershops and salons, with a built-in POS and its own marketplace, and Costa Rican barbershops already use it. If you need an integrated register, it is a serious rival.

rezervaya is built for Costa Rica: it charges in colones, works in Spanish, English and French, reminds by WhatsApp and email, and takes SINPE deposits straight to your account. Noona is a good vertical product, but it charges in dollars and touches none of the country's rails.
Not today: its own pricing pages, in English and Spanish, show a 14-day trial and plans from 15 dollars a month for one person, with per-seat pricing for teams. The free-software headline refers to signing up and being listed on their marketplace, not to a permanent free tier.
No. Per its own help center, Noona reminders go out by SMS, and messages beyond the plan cost 0.09 dollars each. In Costa Rica almost everyone lives on WhatsApp: rezervaya confirms and reminds by WhatsApp and by email.
