Common questions about Setmore alternatives
Setora is the strongest barbershop-specific alternative. It charges a flat £39/month for unlimited barbers with no per-user fees, includes walk-in queue management and no-show deposits, and bills in GBP. Booksy is an option if marketplace discovery matters.
Setmore’s free plan covers 4 users with unlimited appointments, which is generous. However, it lacks SMS reminders, payment collection, and walk-in queue management. If missed appointments are a problem, you’ll need to upgrade to Pro.
Setmore Pro costs $11.99/user/month (billed monthly, USD only). For a 3-barber shop that’s roughly £26.88/month. Setora is £39/month flat for unlimited barbers. Setmore is cheaper for solo barbers; Setora becomes better value at 5+ chairs and includes barbershop-specific features at every level.
No. Setmore is an appointment-only platform with no walk-in queue feature. Setora includes walk-in queue management as a core feature, letting barbers manage both pre-booked and walk-in clients from the same dashboard.
Yes, but with limitations. Setmore lets you export up to 1,000 contacts at a time as CSV. For full appointment history or staff data, you need to email privacy@setmore.com. Setora provides self-serve CSV exports of all your data at any time.
