Honestly
What we don't claim.
Fresha and Treatwell charge 0% commission on bookings through your own link and on repeat bookings. Anyone claiming otherwise gets corrected by the first invoice. Their fee only bites on the first appointment of a client who found them through the marketplace.
Zero commission is not the difference
With them you pay nothing on your own bookings either. So that is not our story, and we won't pretend it is.
A marketplace rents you your own clients
Their app, their brand on your booking page, 'salons near you' listing your competitors — and now a subscription on top. With Booked. it is your brand, your link, your client list, your reviews.
And when you're better off staying
If your clients really do come in through the marketplace, it gives you something we can't: new people. Then stay. Booked. is for the pro who brings her own clients, through Instagram and word of mouth.
