Predictable flat pricing instead of a subscription plus marketplace fees, your own booking page, and a platform that keeps your clients yours — here's SalonSync and Booksy, side by side.
Start free trialBooksy is a popular global booking platform — but a monthly subscription plus marketplace/new-client fees, combined with limited local support, can feel costly and foreign outside its core markets.
SalonSync makes a different bet: we never take a cut of your bookings. Below is an honest, no-spin comparison so you can decide for yourself.
| SalonSync | Booksy (typical model) | |
|---|---|---|
| Booking commission | 0% — we never take a cut of your bookings | Monthly subscription; marketplace/new-client fees may apply in some markets |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly plan + free tier; predictable all month | Monthly subscription; extra features and staff may cost extra |
| Who owns the client? | Your own booking page; clients stay yours | You may be listed next to competitors in the Booksy directory |
| Data ownership | Export your data anytime — it's yours | Check their export terms |
| Your own booking page | Branded page and link, no competitors alongside | Directory-style listing |
| Setup | Live in an afternoon — services, hours, booking page | Usually quick to set up |
Comparison is for general guidance only. Competitor pricing and features vary by region, plan and over time — check their site for current details. Brand names belong to their owners.
Commission grows with your success; flat pricing leaves the growth with you. A full calendar shouldn't mean a bigger software bill.
A branded page that's yours. Clients book directly with you — not next to competitors in someone else's directory.
Export your clients and history anytime. The freedom to leave is what keeps any provider honest — including us.
Yes. We don't take a cut of your bookings — 0% booking commission. You pay only a flat, transparent plan fee, and there's a free tier to start.
