Revyfy is the UK Fresha alternative: a 3-chair salon pays Fresha about £102 a month once the per-member subscription and the 20% new-client fee are added up, and Revyfy is £39.99 flat whatever you grow to. Revyfy has unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking, while Fresha charges a 20% one-time fee (minimum £4) on each new marketplace client, your own new clients included. The Revyfy team moves your data across during the free trial.

Why salons look elsewhere

Three costs that creep up.

Commission on new clients

Fresha charges a one-time fee of 20% of the booking, minimum £4, for each new client who books through its marketplace.

Per-staff fees add up

Fresha charges £9.95 a month for every team member. By four staff you are already paying more than Revyfy's flat price, before any fees.

Their marketplace, their shopfront

Your profile sits in the Fresha marketplace, listed alongside nearby salons. With Revyfy, clients book on your own branded page at your own link.

The maths

What a 3-chair salon actually pays.

A 3-chair salon with 8 new marketplace clients a month pays about £102 on Fresha, versus £39.99 flat on Revyfy. Take a salon with three bookable staff that gains 8 new clients a month through the marketplace, at a £45 average booking.

Fresha: about £102 a month

£29.85 in team subscriptions (3 × £9.95), plus £72 in new-client fees (8 × £9, being 20% of £45). Card processing on top.

Revyfy: £39.99 flatSame salon, roughly £62 a month less. Card processing on top, as anywhere.

Fresha, typical monthRevyfy
Solo, before marketplace fees£14.95, plus 20% on each new marketplace client£39.99 flat, everything included
3 staff, 8 new marketplace clientsAbout £102 (£29.85 + £72 in fees)£39.99 flat
6 staff, 12 new marketplace clientsAbout £168 (£59.70 + £108 in fees)£39.99 flat

Assumptions: £45 average booking, so each new marketplace client carries a £9 one-time fee. The gap grows with every team member you add and every new client the marketplace sends, and with Revyfy the price already includes marketing campaigns, forms and everything else on the pricing page.

Fresha: Independent £14.95/month, Team £9.95 per team member/month, 20% one-time new-client marketplace fee, minimum £4. Card processing applies on both platforms. Full breakdown: Fresha's fees, explained properly.

The Fresha marketplace can put your profile in front of people searching nearby, but those people are shown your competitors on the same screen, and each one who books carries the fee. 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.

Premium salons

If your clients pay for the experience.

A marketplace listing puts your salon on the same screen as the cheapest chair in town. A premium salon does better with a booking page it owns.

Your own page, your own brand

Clients book at your own link with your logo and your photography, not in a feed of nearby salons sorted by price.

Deposits and a policy they accept

Take a deposit at booking and show your cancellation policy before a client confirms, so a late cancellation on a long colour appointment is rare and paid for when it happens.

Forms and notes before they arrive

Consultation and consent forms go out with the booking and are signed on the phone. The stylist opens the record and sees the history, the formula and the notes before the client sits down.

Start your free trial

No card needed. Tell us you are coming from Fresha and we take it from there.

2

We move your data

Staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock. A real person does the work, not an import wizard.

Go live when ready

Run both systems side by side until you are happy. Share your new booking link and you are done.

What we need from you

Almost nothing. Tell us you are coming from Fresha and our team takes care of the move behind the scenes. You keep trading the whole time, and we confirm everything with you before anything goes live.

What to check before going live

We ask you to spot-check ten clients you know well and next week's diary against Fresha. When they match, share your new booking link on Instagram and Google, and the switch is done. Nothing is deleted on the Fresha side; that account remains yours to close whenever you choose.

"Leaving Fresha felt like a big step, but Revyfy moved everything for us. Clients, history, even our appointments. We were up and running in no time."

Switching FAQ

What people ask before they move.

Your staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock. You start with a full diary and a full client list, not a blank slate.

Most switches are finished well inside the 14-day trial, usually within days. You keep trading the whole time, and nothing goes live until you say so.

Yes. Run both side by side during your trial and compare them on your own bookings. Switch over when you are happy, not before.

Reviews on your Fresha profile belong to that marketplace, so they cannot move. Your Google reviews are yours and are not affected by switching.

No. Their details, history and upcoming appointments come across with them. You just share your new booking link, and they book as before.

No. The switch service is free and included in every trial. A real person at Revyfy does the work for you.

Not at all. Tell us you are coming from Fresha, our team handles the move behind the scenes, and we confirm everything with you before you go live. You never touch a spreadsheet.

Money already taken stays with your current payment provider and is honoured from there as those appointments complete. New bookings and deposits flow through Revyfy from the day you go live. Nothing is charged twice.

A quiet week, never your busiest. Start the trial early in the week, let us move the data, and run both systems side by side. Most salons go fully live within days, without closing for a single hour.

Very little. The diary works the way salon diaries should, and most teams are comfortable within a day. And we are on hand at hello@revyfy.com whenever anyone gets stuck.

Revyfy. It runs the whole salon for one flat price, £39.99 a month, with unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking, plus a branded booking page you own outright.

No, Revyfy does not have a free tier: it is £39.99 a month after a 14-day free trial that needs no card. Salon software marketed as free has usually been paid for somewhere else, most often through commission on your bookings.

Yes, for any salon with staff. A 3-chair salon with 8 new marketplace clients a month pays about £102 on Fresha (£29.85 subscription plus £72 in new-client fees) against £39.99 flat on Revyfy. At six chairs it is about £168 against the same £39.99. The gap grows with every extra staff member and every new client.

One that gives you your own booking page rather than a listing beside discounted competitors. Revyfy puts your salon at your own link with your own branding, lets you take deposits and show a cancellation policy before a client confirms, sends consent and consultation forms with the booking, and keeps client notes and history in one record. The price is £39.99 a month flat, so a premium salon with a large team pays the same as a solo stylist.

Ready when you are.
