Why salons look elsewhere

Three costs that creep up.

Per-user charge

Booksy charges £6 with VAT a month for every additional team member. By the sixth person the subscription is £78 with VAT.

Boost fees

Booksy's Boost feature takes 30% of a new client's first visit, minimum £5, whenever Boost is on. A £45 first visit costs £13.50.

VAT and messages

The headline price is £48 with VAT, and SMS marketing past 500 a month is 5p a message. With Revyfy, clients book on your own branded page, and every feature is in the £39.99 price, no VAT added, from day one.

The maths

What a 3-chair salon actually pays.

A 3-chair salon pays about £60 a month on Booksy and £39.99 flat on Revyfy, for an owner and two team members each taking their own appointments.

Booksy: £60 a month with VAT

Booksy's one plan costs £48 a month with VAT before any extra users. Add two extra users at £6 a month each and the subscription is £48 + 2 x £6 = £60 with VAT, before Boost. Turn Boost on and 8 new Boost clients a month at a £45 first visit add 8 x £13.50 = £108 in one-time fees, taking the month to about £168. Revyfy stays £39.99, whatever the team size and whatever happens with new clients that month.

Revyfy: £39.99 flatNo VAT added, unlimited staff, whatever the team size.

Even before Boost, a 3-chair salon on Booksy pays £60 a month once VAT and two extra users are added, against Revyfy's £39.99. Turn Boost on and each new client's first visit adds a further 30% fee. With Revyfy the price already includes marketing campaigns, forms and everything else on the pricing page, at any team size.

Booksy is £48 a month with VAT, plus £6 a month with VAT for each additional team member. Boost is a one-time 30% fee, minimum £5, on a Boost client's first visit. Full breakdown: Booksy pricing in the UK, explained.

What Booksy is

A marketplace-first booking platform.

Booksy is a booking platform with a consumer marketplace and app. A salon pays a monthly subscription and appears in the Booksy Marketplace, where clients search and book, and clients can also book from the salon's own Booksy profile link. Marketplace bookings are free unless the salon turns on Boost, a paid visibility feature charged as a one-time 30% fee on each Boost client's first visit. All features are included in the one plan; the price rises by £6 with VAT per additional user. Revyfy's edge is what sits underneath that: one flat price with marketing, forms and your own booking page already included, for any size of business.

Booksy's Boost can put a listing in front of people searching nearby, but Booksy's own advice is to share your profile link so clients who book through it are not charged for when Boost is on. A booking page you own, shared from your Instagram, Google profile and word of mouth, builds a following that is yours from day one, whether you are a team of six or just you and a chair.
