Your services. Your new Booking Page.

What can move

Bring across what Trimsy provides.

The exact result depends on the fields in your export. Review every file and mapping before relying on it.

Services & prices

Move service names, durations and prices when they are included in the export, then check them before the Booking Page goes live.

Staff & working hours

Recreate each team member, their availability and the services they offer.

Opening hours & breaks

Set opening times, staff breaks and working patterns so availability matches the real shop.

Customer records

Import names, contact details, consent and useful history when those fields are present in the file supplied by Trimsy.

Upcoming bookings

Bring across future appointments when the export includes the dates, times, services and staff needed for a reliable import.

Notes & preferences

Customer notes can move when Trimsy includes them in the export. Review sensitive notes and your lawful basis before importing them.

A careful move

How we compared: Prices and features checked 8 September 2026. Setora is £10/month more before VAT at the public prices checked. Trimsy says its joining price is locked while the subscription remains continuous. “Not documented” means no claim was found on the Trimsy UK public pages checked, not that the feature is definitely unavailable. Setora is £59/month per location, before VAT where applicable. SMS credits and card processing are separate if you use them. Competitor prices, add-ons, taxes, marketplace fees and exchange rates can change, so check the current provider pricing before you decide.

Data and timing

Your data stays yours.

Move with confidence by requesting the full Trimsy export before cancelling. Trimsy's terms say the shop owns its customer, booking, history and photograph data and can receive it in a spreadsheet. Inspect the fields and keep Trimsy active until the supported records have been checked in Setora.

  1. Export before cancelling. Request all records and photographs you need while the Trimsy account is active.

  2. Check before changing links. Review imported records and future bookings before sending customers to Setora.

  3. Keep a secure copy. Store the original export safely while you check the move, then delete unnecessary local copies.

  4. Keep your customer relationships. Your customer list belongs to your business, not a marketplace.

Before you decide

Check the details for your business.

Before you switch

The practical questions.

What to check before moving away from Trimsy.

Is Setora cheaper than Trimsy?

No. At the prices published on 8 September 2026, Trimsy advertises £49/month per shop plus VAT and Setora is £59/month per location, before VAT where applicable. Setora is £10 more per month before VAT. Trimsy says its joining price stays locked while the subscription continues without a break. Setora does not promise a lifetime price lock.

Will I lose my customer data?

Trimsy's terms say your customers, bookings, history and photographs belong to you and can be supplied in a spreadsheet. Ask for the export before cancelling. Setora can help import supported records included in the files you receive, but fields missing from the export cannot be moved.

Does Setora charge booking commission?

No. Setora is £59/month per location and takes no commission on bookings, card payments or walk-ins. SMS credits and Stripe processing are separate when used. Trimsy also advertises zero booking commission.

What does Setora offer that Trimsy does not advertise as live?

Setora documents deposits, full online payments, Booking Protection, an automatic waitlist, multi-location support and Mailchimp sync as available now. REST API v1 is in alpha, with access by request. Trimsy marks card on file and no-show charging as coming soon. The other features were not documented on the Trimsy UK pages checked, so confirm their current availability directly.

What is different about the mobile apps?

Setora provides a management app for owners and staff through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Customers still book through the web-based Booking Page. Trimsy advertises a shop-branded installable staff web app that sits on a barber's home screen without an app-store download. Trimsy offers stronger shop branding, while Setora offers an app distributed through the two main app stores.

Can Setora build my website?

Setora offers Shop Websites with a homepage and location pages linked to the Setora Booking Page. Trimsy also includes a shop-branded website and says the website can be taken with you if you leave. Discuss design, domain and portability requirements before switching because the two offers are not identical.
