Looking for a Fresha alternative?

Fresha made its name as “subscription-free” salon software — a genuinely capable platform (POS, inventory, marketing) that monetizes through card processing fees and a commission on new clients that arrive via its marketplace.

That model works well for salons that use the full suite and welcome marketplace traffic. If you mainly need scheduling — and want no fees anywhere in the chain, marketplace or processing — Reservy is the simpler, genuinely free path.

When Reservy is the better fit

You want no fees of any kind: no subscription, no commission on new clients, no processing cut required.
Your bookings come from your own channels, so a marketplace commission would tax clients you already earned.
You want a tool the size of your need: schedule, booking page, clients, earnings — not a full POS and inventory suite.
You want your team on it in an afternoon, no training.
You prefer keeping payments on your existing rails (cash, transfer, your reader).

When Fresha may fit better

You want built-in card payments and are comfortable with processing fees.
You’d welcome marketplace discovery and accept the new-client commission as marketing spend.
You need POS, product inventory, and marketing automation in one platform.

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

Frequently asked questions

How is Reservy free with no catch?

Reservy is a deliberately minimal product: it doesn’t process your payments, run a marketplace, or upsell plans — so there’s no fee mechanism hiding anywhere. You book, you get paid however you get paid, the app keeps your day in order.

What exactly does Fresha charge?

Fresha’s model (per their site) combines payment processing fees with a one-time commission on new clients acquired through its marketplace, plus optional paid features. Fair model — just check whether the clients being commissioned are ones the marketplace truly brought you.

Can I run Reservy alongside my card machine and cash box?

That’s the intended setup: Reservy never touches the money path. Mark appointments paid as they happen and the earnings view keeps day, week, and month totals regardless of how clients paid.

Try the simpler option — it’s free

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