How much commission does Treatwell take?
Treatwell's UK pricing page lists 35% commission on first bookings made by new customers introduced through the marketplace. All commissions and fees are subject to VAT, so at 20% UK VAT that is effectively 42% of the booking value.

Will I lose clients if I leave Treatwell?
Customers who found you through Treatwell's marketplace may not find you immediately after you leave. Returning customers already know your shop or salon, so you can share your direct booking link with a simple message. Consider your marketplace bookings before deciding to switch.
Does Setora have a marketplace like Treatwell?
No. Setora does not have a consumer marketplace. Customers book directly with your shop or salon through your branded Booking Page. If marketplace discovery is a meaningful source of new clients for you, that is worth factoring into your decision before switching.
