Common questions about Booksy alternatives
The best alternative depends on your priorities. Nearcut is barbershop-specific like Booksy. Setora offers flat-rate pricing at £39/month covering unlimited barbers with no commission on any booking. Fresha has a lower base cost but charges per staff and takes 20% commission on marketplace new clients.
Fresha has a £0/month base plan, though it charges £9.95/month per staff member and 20% commission on marketplace bookings. There is no genuinely free alternative that covers a full team without per-user or commission costs.
Setora and Nearcut both charge 0% commission on all bookings. Fresha charges 20% commission on marketplace new clients, and Booksy charges 30% Boost commission on new clients acquired through their marketplace.
No. Setora does not have a consumer marketplace. Clients book directly with your shop through your branded booking page. If marketplace discovery is important to you, Booksy's network is larger than any of the alternatives listed here.
No - Booksy reviews stay on the Booksy platform when you leave. This is one of the main reasons shops stay on Booksy longer than they want to. If you build your reputation through Google Reviews instead, those belong to your business regardless of which booking platform you use.
