A Fresha alternative for direct online bookings

Compare the way you want customers to find and book your business. Bookrightly provides direct booking tools and flat plan prices; Fresha combines salon software with marketplace discovery.

Start free — no card needed

Understand marketplace acquisition fees

Fresha says its marketplace new-client fee applies once to a new client discovered through the marketplace. Returning clients do not attract that marketplace fee. Read its current pricing and fee conditions rather than assuming a percentage applies to every booking.

Bookrightly’s direct-booking model

Bookrightly adds no booking commission. Share your own booking link with customers or add a widget to an existing website. You still need to bring people to the page through your existing customers, social profiles, website and other marketing.

Compare the features you actually use

Check your service menu, branding, deposits, reminders and queue needs against the plan. If you need a large staff setup, inventory, a marketplace audience or other salon operations tools, compare those requirements in both products before switching.

A plan you can try before choosing

Paid plans start from £5/month. Full is £10/month. Paid plans include a 90-day free trial without card details. Free remains available without a time limit. Stripe’s own processing charges apply to paid transactions. The cost of your plan and card processing are different things.
