Keep your customer list
Import the customer records your current provider gives you, then keep them exportable from Setora later.
Move from Nearcut to Setora, without losing a client.
Import the Nearcut files you receive, set up services and staff, then test your new Booking Page before switching links. No lock-in, no Setora commission, and one flat £39/month per location when you stay.
The switch promise
Move over without losing what matters.
Three things every owner worries about before they switch. Here is exactly what happens to each one.
Keep your bookings
Keep the old diary live while Setora is set up and tested. Import future bookings when the export is clean enough.
Keep your customers' trust
The same familiar booking experience, just a new link. No awkward re-registration for your regulars.
What comes across
What you can bring across from Nearcut.
Use the files your current provider gives you to rebuild Setora without starting from a blank diary. Here is what usually moves and stays yours.
Services & prices
Your full service menu with durations and prices, mapped onto Setora ready to book.
Staff & rotas
Every team member with their working hours and the services they offer.
Opening hours
Location opening times and breaks, so the diary reflects how you actually work.
Customer records
Names, contact details, consent and any visit history included in your export, so the useful customer detail is not left behind.
Booking history
Past and upcoming appointments can be imported when your current platform includes them in the export.
Notes & preferences
Client notes and preferences can move with the record when they are included in your export.
The switch, step by step
Four steps off Nearcut.
Keep taking bookings on Nearcut the whole time. You only switch your link once everything is in place and tested.
Export from Nearcut
Download what Nearcut makes available, or request your portable data before you cancel. We help you work out what can be imported.
Set up Setora
Map your services, team and opening hours onto Setora, so you are not rebuilding the menu by hand.
Import and test
Bring in the files you have, then run a test booking to check services, staff, customers and opening hours look right.
Switch your link
When you are happy, point your booking link at Setora from Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or your site.

A note on this comparison: Full disclosure: we built Setora, so this comparison has a point of view. Nearcut pricing and service terms checked 4 August 2026. The public page does not publish the customer booking charge or a standard Subscription total, so compare Nearcut's current quote with Setora's £39/month per-location price.

Before you switch
The questions owners ask.
The practical stuff about moving off Nearcut. Still unsure? Start the free trial, no card needed.
Will I lose my client data when I switch from Nearcut?
Nearcut's service terms say you own your Client Data, but its public pages do not describe a self-service export. Ask Nearcut what files it can provide before giving notice. Setora can import the supported records included in the files you receive.
Is Setora really £39/month per location?
Yes. Setora is £39/month per location, with unlimited staff and no Setora commission on bookings. SMS credits are separate if you use them.
How long does it take to switch from Nearcut?
Timing depends on the files Nearcut provides and how much you need to rebuild. Keep Nearcut live while you set up services and staff, import supported records and test your Booking Page. Change your public link only when you are satisfied.
What if I am a solo barber?
Nearcut's Free for You plan may suit a solo barber who wants no monthly bill and is comfortable with customers paying a booking charge. Setora may suit you if you prefer no customer booking fee, self-service data export and one flat price per location.
Do I need to give Nearcut notice before leaving?
Nearcut's service terms, checked 4 August 2026, require one month's written notice. Check the terms in your own agreement before acting. Setora is month-to-month with no exit fee.
Is Setora the best Nearcut alternative in the UK?
Setora is a strong fit for shops that want flat pricing, direct bookings and portable data. Nearcut may still suit owners who value its support model or current feature set. The better choice depends on your shop size and priorities.
