What is your booking app’s commission costing you?
Fresha, Treatwell and Booksy all take a cut when a new client finds you through them. Put in your own numbers to see what that adds up to over a year, next to Hourbook’s flat monthly price.

Fresha charges 20% on the first booking from each brand-new client who finds you through the Fresha marketplace, plus VAT, according to their pricing page on 16 October 2026. Fresha also charges a minimum fee per new client, which this leaves out, so the real figure can be higher.
This counts the new-client fee only, not card fees or extras. Those fees pay for clients Fresha finds for you, and Hourbook doesn’t list you on a marketplace.
