Bookodile vs Fresha

Free at one location with up to two active booking spots and 40 bookings a month, every add-on included. Not a trial — a plan a small business stays on. More

No free plan. Independent and Team are both paid after a 7-day trial, and the help centre describes the plan as one subscription bundling the essentials. Fresha's own pages do not date when the earlier free plan ended. Source

No commission, no new-client fee, no per-booking charge. The bill is the subscription and nothing else. More

A one-time 'Marketplace new client fee' on the first completed appointment of a customer who discovered you through the Fresha marketplace — a percentage with a minimum and a cap, the help centre says, referring to the pricing page for the rate, which the page served to Slovakia does not print. It applies even if that customer then books through your website or social links, is charged if you cancel on their behalf, and cannot be opted out of while listed. No fee on returning customers, and no per-booking fee otherwise. Source

Every add-on is free and included — reminders, reviews, vouchers, the waiting list, multi-location, forecasting. Nothing is sold separately. More

Sold separately on the page served in euros: Client Loyalty €49.95 per location, Insights €9.95 per bookable team member, Google Rating Boost €8.95 per location, Xero €8.95 per location, Team Connect €2.79 per member, Data Connector €135 per location, all monthly; text and WhatsApp reminders beyond 20 a month; marketing emails beyond 50; marketing texts at €0.20; card terminals from €339. AI Concierge is a credit-based add-on and the Smart Website has its own subscription, neither priced on that page. Source

There are no plans and no tiers. Every account, including a free one, has every feature. More

The two plans split by headcount. Independent is one bookable team member and one calendar column, and the pricing table shows a dash under it for multiple locations, team permissions, sales commissions, wages, pay runs, timesheets and per-team-member service pricing and duration. Independent gets email support; Team gets phone, chat and email. The paid add-ons are priced the same on both. Source

Monthly, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. Paying yearly is optional and costs ten months. More

Month to month, auto-renewing, cancel any time, no minimum commitment; charged on the first day of each calendar month. On cancellation, workspace access is removed and the marketplace profile is unlisted at the end of the cycle; a declined card pauses the account. Source

Bookodile does not take your customers' money. The payment-tracking add-on records what you were paid; payment stays between you and the customer. More

Fresha Payments: online and in-person cards at 1.29% + €0.20 per transaction on the page served in euros, Tap to Pay for €0.10 more per authorisation, terminals from €339, deposits and no-show fees. Optional — the pricing FAQ says you can use Fresha without it — and available in 'select countries' that Fresha does not list. Source

bookodile.com/book/your-business, with your logo, colour, services and hours. One page per location. More

Your marketplace profile is the booking page, plus direct booking links from the Link builder — to everything, to services, to memberships or to gift cards, filterable by location and team member — and a QR code. To activate booking links you must list your profile on the marketplace, and unlisting disables every online booking channel. Source

One snippet embeds the whole flow in any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-built — inline or behind a Book-now button. A QR code is generated for print. More

A 'Book now' button or link that sends the customer to your Fresha page. No iframe or script widget is documented, so the booking itself happens on fresha.com, not inside your site. The link carries the business name it was created with; a rename needs support to regenerate it. Source

A name plus an email or a phone number. No account, no app, no password. A web portal shows customers every booking they hold, if they want it. More

Customers need to create or sign in to a Fresha customer account to book and confirm an appointment online. Browsing is open; booking is not. The workaround the help centre gives is the business booking them by hand. Source

Combo services chain stages into one booking, and the extras you configure are offered during booking, in more than one round. Customers do not pick arbitrary pairs from the catalogue — you decide which combinations exist. More

Customers choose several services into one appointment. A booking sequence can force a fixed order, and service bundles group two or more services, booked in sequence or in parallel, with their own or a discounted price. Source

Each stage of a combo can have its own team member, its own duration and its own room, booked back to back. Each person is blocked only for their own stage, never for the whole visit. Staff move the whole visit in one step, at times that fit every person in it. More

When several services are booked, the customer can pick a different professional for each; auto-assignment has a switch to split multi-service appointments across team members; bundles are booked in sequence, one after another, or in parallel across several team members. Each service is its own calendar entry. Whether a customer can choose a different person per stage inside a bundle is not stated. Source

Rooms, chairs and equipment with a capacity and their own hours. A service can need a resource alone, a person alone, or both, and capacity is enforced when the booking is made. More

Rooms and equipment as resources with a type, a capacity of one appointment or a set number of two or more, and resource-only services with no team member required, per location. Online booking cannot double-book a resource. Launched March 2026. Source

Events with a capacity and a registration list for one-off things; a recurring class is a service on a resource with a capacity, so it fills up and stops. More

'Group appointments' are several individual appointments joined under an organiser. Customers can book for up to six people online when the switch is on, and it then applies to every service. No class with a fixed capacity and no timetable of sessions is documented, and a group cannot book the same team member online. Source

A service can be priced per team member, or per category such as Junior and Senior, and the customer sees which is which. More

Advanced pricing and durations set a service's price for specific team members or locations, and per variant, and the customer sees each team member's price. The pricing table lists this under Team, with a dash under Independent. Source

A service can take a different time per team member. Leave someone blank and they use the service's own duration. More

On the same screen, a duration per location and per team member; customers see the appropriate price and duration for each team member. Under Team on the pricing table. Source

A buffer after every service blocks the person and any resource it used. Enforced on the booking page and in the booking API. More

Extra time per service in three kinds: blocked time (customer gone, team member unavailable), processing time (customer present, team member free for another booking) and extra servicing time, placed before or after, and also per appointment. Slot generation counts processing time. Source

A cancellation is offered automatically to whoever has waited longest for that service, with a three-hour countdown. Confirming books them straight in. More

'You pick' or 'Automatically book' modes, with priority by first in line, highest value, or offer to all. Customers can join online; when a slot opens they are told by email, text or WhatsApp, and the next in line is notified if the first does not book within the set time. Included in the plan. Source

Your team can create a repeating series from the calendar — weekly, every two weeks or monthly, up to 52 visits. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. More

Repeat appointments created by the team with a frequency and an end date, generated up to 12 months ahead; edit or cancel one or the whole series. Nothing documented lets a customer book a repeating series online. Source

Minimum notice, maximum advance days, slot interval, auto-confirm or approval, and a cancellation window — one set of rules per business. More

Minimum notice from immediately to two weeks, maximum advance up to 12 months, a slot interval with 'reduce' or 'eliminate calendar gaps' options, per-service availability limits, and cancellation windows through payment policies. No manual-approval mode is documented. Source

Customers cancel from the confirmation email, outside your cancellation window. Rescheduling is cancel and book again; there is no one-step move. More

Customers cancel or reschedule from their Fresha account, outside your cancellation or reschedule window, including bookings made in person. Not for group appointments, and not if the service has been removed from online booking. Source

No card on file and no deposits, because Bookodile does not process payments. A no-show is recorded on the customer, not charged. More

Payment policies: a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, card capture, a no-show fee as a percentage of the appointment value, a late-cancellation fee, a refundable-until window, rules per service or customer group, auto-cancel if unpaid within 1 to 72 hours, or full prepayment. Requires Fresha Payments. Source

Extras are offered while booking, per service or per category, in up to several rounds, with an optional discount for adding them. More

Service add-ons with their own price and time, shown as an extra step in the booking flow; service upselling suggests up to five services with a discount; membership upselling; promo codes, flash sales and last-minute offers. Source

No marketplace. Your booking page carries only your business, and no competitor is shown beside you — which also means it sends you no new customers.

A consumer marketplace on the web and in the Fresha app. Listing is the condition for online booking: to activate booking links your profile must be listed, and direct links show no other businesses in your area. Unlisting disables all online booking channels. Source

No consumer app. Customers book in the browser, and a web portal lists every booking they hold with any Bookodile business. More

'Fresha for customers' on iOS and Android, with over a million installs on Android, for finding, booking, managing and paying for appointments. Source

English, Slovak, Czech and Vietnamese, set per business. What your customers read and what you read in the dashboard are separate settings. More

The consumer site and booking pages come in 33 languages, including Czech, German and Vietnamese; Slovak is not among them, and fresha.com/sk returns a 404. A business sets a default language for team and customer messages, and customers override it in their own account. The business app is English only. Source

Every time is shown in the business's own zone, including on your dashboard. A customer in another zone sees both clocks before they confirm. More

A workspace time zone under Settings, Scheduling, with daylight saving handled. Whether each location can have its own zone, and which clock a customer in another zone sees, are not stated. Country and currency are fixed at sign-up. Source

Your logo, a second logo for dark backgrounds, a logo that links back to your own website, your brand colour with a contrast check, and a banner strip. No custom CSS and no custom domain. More

The booking page is your marketplace profile: photos, portfolio, team profiles and an 'Important info' block, with your business name in the link. No colours, fonts, CSS or custom domain for the booking page are documented. A separate Smart Website builder has layouts, themes, colours, fonts and a custom domain, charged separately. Source

The hosted page follows the customer's device. The embedded widget stays light on purpose, so it matches the website it sits in. More

Nothing in the help centre or on the feature pages mentions a dark theme for the booking page.

No Reserve with Google or Instagram integration. Your booking link goes in your Google profile, your bio or a post like any link.

Reserve with Google — needs an exact name and address match, a listed profile, shifts in the next 30 days and priced services, and is refused to a business filed under 'Other' — plus Facebook and Instagram Book now buttons through a Meta business account, free. All three need a listed marketplace profile. Source

Day, week and month. Drag a booking to a new time or a different person, block out time, add a walk-in, filter by person or service. A visit with several services moves as one — dragged in the calendar, or from the booking dialog, which offers only the times that fit everyone in it. More

Day, three-day, week and month views; drag to a new time or team member in Day view; resize by dragging the edge; filters by status, channel, payment status, service and requested team member; blocked time; a resource view; colour by service. Source

No native app. The dashboard is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen and works there. More

'Fresha for business' on iOS and Android — the latest and two prior iOS versions, and Android 8 or later. Source

Any number of locations in one account, each with its own team, hours, services and booking page, and a group dashboard that totals them. More

Multiple locations on Team, not Independent. Each location has its own schedules, team, services, reports, opening hours, marketplace profile and, optionally, billing profile. The subscription is per bookable team member rather than per location, but Loyalty, Google Rating Boost, Xero and Data Connector are priced per location. Source

Owner, Manager, Employee and Receptionist ready-made, or build a role and set each permission by hand — including whether someone sees only their own bookings, customers and figures. More

Templated roles plus unlimited custom permission roles across ten areas — own or all calendars, sales, full or name-only customer details, team or own reports, team, catalogue, online profile, marketing, payments and workspace. The pricing table lists permissions under Team only. Source

Revenue, bookings, average value and cancellation rate; twelve months charted; top services; team ranked by revenue; per location or across all. Forecasting and revenue split are included add-ons. More

44 reports included — sales, finance, performance, payments, liabilities, deposits, gift cards, customer retention — exported one at a time as PDF, CSV or Excel. Eight premium reports, custom reports and advanced filters need the Insights add-on at €9.95 per bookable team member a month. No forecast report is named. Source

A monthly competition on bookings or revenue that the whole team sees, with a winner per category if you want one, results frozen and emailed on the 1st, and a Hall of fame. Revenue amounts stay hidden from the team unless you show them. An included add-on. More

The Performance Summary report compares team members, and Fresha's own tip is to use it to pinpoint top performers. Whether a team member sees the whole team's figures or only their own is a permission the business sets; no ranking, winner or competition for the team is documented. Source

No point of sale, no stock, no payroll. A walk-in is a booking. More

Point of sale with split payments, refunds, voids, receipts, taxes, tips and service charges; stock with suppliers, stocktakes, orders and transfers, and an online product store; commissions, wages, timesheets and pay runs paid from the Fresha wallet, which needs Fresha Payments; Xero and QuickBooks sync, Xero as a paid add-on. Source

Email confirmations, reminders the day before and two hours before, cancellations and follow-ups — all included, in your business's language. Text messages are built but not switched on. More

Email notifications are free. Text and WhatsApp reminders with an and/or fallback between them, two by default plus one extra; 20 free text or WhatsApp messages per bookable team member a month, then €0.15 a text or €0.10 to €0.30 a WhatsApp message on the page served in euros. If the message balance runs out, customer messages stop. Source

No bulk email or text campaigns. An automated win-back sequence for customers who drift away, and promotions shown on the booking page, are included add-ons. More

Blast email and text campaigns with segments and scheduling: 50 free emails per team member a month then €0.02 each; texts €0.20 each, paid upfront. Automated rebook, birthday, win-back, loyalty and thank-you messages, and deals such as promo codes, flash sales and last-minute offers. Source

Collect a review after each visit, publish on your booking page when you choose, reply in public or privately, and ask happy customers for a Google review in the same email. More

Automatic review invitations after each appointment, with stars, a comment and photos, published on the marketplace profile; public or private replies as the business or a team member; Google reviews synced into one dashboard; AI-drafted replies through AI Concierge. Asking for a Google review is the paid Google Rating Boost add-on, €8.95 per location a month. Source

Gift vouchers, discount codes, promotions and upsell discounts, all included. No packages or memberships, and vouchers are issued by you rather than sold online. More

Gift cards (selling them online needs Fresha Payments), promo codes with limits and a minimum spend, flash sales, last-minute offers, smart pricing, bundles with a discount, packages of prepaid sessions, and recurring memberships. Loyalty points, tiers and referrals are the paid Client Loyalty add-on at €49.95 per location a month. Source

Bookings are pushed into Google Calendar as they are made, moved or cancelled. One direction only — Google events do not block your availability — and no Outlook. More

Per team member: two-way Google Calendar sync; Outlook and Apple through an ICS link, export only or import only, linked twice for both. Imported events become blocked time, and a sync takes up to 15 minutes. Source

A consent checkbox in your own wording, invoice details that can be optional or required, and a notes field. No custom intake forms and no e-signatures. More

Consultation forms from basic and custom templates, attached to services and sent automatically on booking or added by hand, stored on the customer profile and printable. Listed as included on the pricing table. No e-signature is documented. Source

Export bookings and customers to CSV whenever you like — the list is yours. No import tool yet, and no public API. More

Customers export to Excel or CSV, appointments to PDF, CSV or Excel, and reports one at a time; CSV import of customers and products. Card details cannot be exported or transferred. No public API or webhooks are documented; raw data is the Data Connector add-on at €135 per location a month, one way into Snowflake. Source

Email support, included, with the documentation at bookodile.com/docs behind it. No phone line. More

Email, live chat and phone are included with every subscription, though the help centre says the channels vary by country or region. The pricing page gives Independent email support with a typical 24-hour response and Team phone, chat and email. Hours are not published. Paid data-migration packages for larger businesses. Source
