Keep your clients. Keep the money too.
Fresha sends you new clients from its marketplace and takes a cut of that first booking. Appointfy works the other way round: your clients book in the chat they already use, and every booking is yours.
What Fresha is genuinely good at
Fresha's marketplace puts you in front of people who have never heard of you, and its point-of-sale and inventory tools go deeper than ours. If discovery through a marketplace is what you need, it is a serious product. This page is for owners whose clients already know them and message them directly.

The three real differences
No marketplace, no cut
We never put your salon in a list next to your competitors, and we never charge a percentage of a booking. You pay per staff member and keep the rest.
Booking happens in the chat
Your client does not open an app or create an account. They message you where they already message you, and get a link back in seconds.
Messages are included
Reminders, confirmations and review requests are part of the price instead of being billed per message.
Switching from Fresha
Can I move my clients over?
Yes. Your client list is yours; you can bring it with you and we help you import it during setup.
Will I lose the clients Fresha sends me?
Possibly some discovery traffic, yes — we are not a marketplace. What you gain is that the clients who already know you stop costing you a commission.
What does Appointfy cost?
$20 per staff member per month, everything included, no commission. The first 7 days are free and we do not ask for a card.
