Booksy Review
Appointment booking app with a large consumer marketplace, popular with barbers and salons.
Our verdict
Booksy is the barber-shop and salon favorite for a reason: the consumer app has real search traffic, and $29.99/mo flat is easy to understand. Per-user pricing makes it pricier than Setmore or Fresha for multi-staff teams, and serious marketplace growth usually means paying for Boost. Great for individuals and small shops that live on walk-in-style local demand.
Best for Barbers and independent stylists who want clients from a busy consumer app

Frequently asked questions
How much does Booksy cost per month?
Booksy Biz is $29.99/month plus tax for one user, with each additional team member at $20/month. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Does Booksy take a cut of my bookings?
No commission on standard bookings — you pay the flat subscription plus card processing (from 2.49% + $0.10 with the card reader). Optional Boost promotion charges a fee for new clients it brings in.
Booksy vs Fresha — what's the difference?
Both have consumer marketplaces. Booksy charges a higher flat subscription but no new-client commission outside Boost; Fresha is cheaper monthly but takes 20% of the first sale from new marketplace clients.
