Data and timing

Your data stays yours.

Request the records Nearcut provides before cancelling. Import the supported fields, review them and keep the old account live until your Setora setup has been tested.

  1. Export before cancelling. Ask for the records you need while your current account is still active.

  2. Check before changing links. Review imported records and test the booking flow first.

  3. Keep a secure copy. Store the original export safely while you check the move.

  4. Keep an exit route. People with permission can export customer records and available reports from Setora.

Before you switch

The practical questions.

What to check before moving away from Nearcut.

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 £59/month per location?

Yes. Setora is £59/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.
