Where Fresha is honestly the better choice
Fresha is particularly strong for new client acquisition. These points favor Fresha:
- –The Fresha marketplace can bring you new clients without you doing active marketing yourself – in exchange, you pay 20% commission per new marketplace client.
- –If your clients pay exclusively in cash and you don't need SMS reminders, Fresha can be used for free.
- –Fresha is an established, internationally used product with broad salon and spa industry experience.
- –SMS reminders are available on Fresha (paid) – BookASlot currently only offers email and push notifications.
BookASlot is a good fit if...
...you want predictable fixed costs without a commission model, and acquire new clients mainly through your own channels rather than a marketplace.
Fresha is a better fit if...
...marketplace visibility for new clients matters to you and you can factor the per-client commission into your pricing.
