BOOKIN AND BOOKSY

A Booksy alternative without Boost commission

Booksy is £40 a month plus VAT, and £5 a month for each extra person. Its Boost feature brings new clients from the Booksy app and charges 30% of their first visit, at least £5, plus VAT. With Boost off there's no new-client fee.

Bookin costs less than one month of Booksy for a whole year on Basic, and has no commission to switch off.

Booksy's prices are before VAT, so add 20%. Boost commission applies only to new clients from the Booksy app. Super Basic isn't VAT registered, so our prices are the full price.
