Booksy’s model
Booksy’s published US pricing is $29.99 a month plus $20 for each additional team member, plus tax. The Boost feature raises your visibility in the marketplace: it has no monthly fee, but each new client who arrives through Boost costs a one-time 30% of the first visit, up to $100. Confirmations and reminders are included; payments have per-transaction fees. Check prices and terms for your own country.
Saloria’s model
Saloria has no marketplace and takes no commission: clients come from your website, social media, Google or the QR code in your window. The Free plan includes the salon calendar, a booking page, email confirmations and reminders and a one-page salon website. Individual professional calendars start with Basic; consultation, analysis, reports, matching and AI previews are included in every plan.
When Booksy is the better fit
If you want new clients from a platform with many users and accept a commission on the first appointment, the marketplace can help. Booksy also handles payments, card readers and a client app, which Saloria does not offer.
When Saloria is the better fit
If clients already find you and you want a calendar with no fee and no commission, or you want to stand out with a guided consultation, Saloria covers these needs. Till, payments and stock stay outside Saloria.
