Question 1

How does Booksy compare to other salon software in terms of pricing?

Accepted Answer

Unlike competitors like Vagaro or StyleSeat, which often have hidden add-on fees or complicated tiered pricing, Booksy offers one transparent price of $29.99/month. You get every single feature—from marketing tools to inventory management—included in your base subscription.

Question 2

Why is Booksy a better choice for beauty and wellness pros than Square?

Accepted Answer

While Square is a 'one-size-fits-all' processor, Booksy is built specifically for beauty and wellness professionals. We offer specialized features like No-Show Protection, specialized client notes, and a dedicated Marketplace that helps you get discovered, rather than just a basic booking link.

Question 3

What makes Booksy different from Acuity or GlossGenius?

Accepted Answer

For a similar price point, Booksy provides a much more robust Marketplace and advanced growth tools. While Acuity is a general scheduler, Booksy connects you to millions of active clients through our Marketplace. Compared to GlossGenius, Booksy offers more exposure and more sophisticated team management features for growing businesses.

Question 4

Is it true that Booksy offers free data migration from other platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We make switching stress-free by offering 1:1 onboarding support and free data transfer. We can migrate your client database, service list, future appointments, past reviews, and even your portfolio photos from platforms like Fresha, Vagaro, or Square.

Question 5

How does Booksy's Marketplace compare to platforms like TheCut or Squire?

Accepted Answer

Booksy provides a better value for solo barbers and small shops by offering more robust business management features at a more competitive price. Our Marketplace is one of the largest in the world, giving you significantly more exposure to new clients than niche barbering apps.

Question 6

Does Booksy have tiered plans for advanced features?

Accepted Answer

No. At Booksy, we don't believe in gatekeeping features. Whether you are a solo pro or a large salon, you get access to every tool—Waitlists, Gift Cards, Social Media Creator, and Boost—under one transparent monthly fee.

Question 7

Who owns my data if I decide to switch to Booksy?

Accepted Answer

You retain 100% ownership of your client data. Booksy's terms of service ensure that your business information and client list belong to you. You can export your data at any time, ensuring you are never locked into the system.

All the features you need, one transparent price.
