Comparison

Looking for a Booksy alternative?

Booksy is a major name in beauty booking — a subscription platform whose marketplace can put your profile in front of people browsing for a barber or stylist nearby. For some shops, that discovery is worth the monthly fee.

The trade-offs: a subscription that runs whether bookings come or not, and a marketplace where clients browse — which means your profile lives alongside others. Reservy takes the opposite stance: a booking page that is only yours, free, with your clients seeing your brand and nobody else’s.

When Reservy is the better fit

Your clients come from your Instagram, WhatsApp, and word of mouth — not from browsing a marketplace.
You’d rather pay $0 than a monthly subscription.
You want your booking page to show your business only — no adjacent profiles.
You want schedule, clients, and earnings in one minimal app your whole team can use free.
You’re keeping your client relationships — their contact info comes to you with every booking.

When Booksy may fit better

You’re new in town with no following, and marketplace discovery could seed your chair.
You want built-in card payments, no-show fees, and marketing automation, and the subscription math works for you.
Your local market genuinely browses Booksy (common in some cities’ barber scenes).

We’d rather you pick the right tool than the loudest pitch — features and pricing above reflect Booksy’s publicly listed plans and may change; check their site for current details.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose bookings without a marketplace?

If your bookings already come from your own following, no — a marketplace mostly re-routes demand you generated. Discovery marketplaces earn their fee when they bring you strangers; check honestly where your last twenty clients came from and the answer is usually clear.

What does Booksy cost vs Reservy?

Booksy is subscription-based, priced per month (see their site for current plans). Reservy is free — no subscription, no commission, no card required — for any number of staff.

Can I move my regulars from Booksy to Reservy?

Yes — your regulars book wherever you send them. Put your Reservy link in your bio and reminders, tell clients at the chair, and within a booking cycle or two your calendar fills through your own page.

Try the simpler option — it’s free

Reservy is free. Set up your booking page and your day schedule in the next ten minutes.
