How much is Booksy a month?
Booksy has one plan, "all features included", at £48 a month with VAT, plus £6 a month with VAT for each additional team member. Revyfy is one flat £39.99 a month, and no VAT is added to that price.
Does Booksy charge per staff member?
Yes, Booksy charges £6 a month with VAT for every additional team member on top of the £48 plan. The table below shows how that adds up as a team grows; Revyfy does not move at all.

| Team size | Booksy (with VAT) | Revyfy |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | £48/month | £39.99/month, unlimited staff |
| 3 (owner + 2 extra users) | £60/month | £39.99/month, no per-user charge |
| 6 (owner + 5 extra users) | £78/month | £39.99/month |
Even a solo pays Booksy £48 with VAT against Revyfy's £39.99. From the second team member on the gap widens: every extra user adds £6 with VAT to Booksy's bill, while Revyfy's £39.99 stays the same whatever the team size.
What is the Booksy Boost fee?
Boost is "free to turn on, no monthly fee", but it carries a "one-time 30% fee (with a minimum of £5) based on the total cost of a Boost client's first visit". Booksy's marketplace bookings are otherwise free: "we do not charge commissions for any new clients that find you online or through your own marketing efforts, or on Booksy Marketplace when Boost is not turned on." Booksy's own advice is to share your Booksy profile link so clients who book through it are not charged for when Boost is on.
A worked example: a salon running Boost that gets 8 new Boost clients a month, each with a £45 first visit, pays 8 x £13.50 = £108 in Boost fees on top of the subscription. Revyfy takes 0% commission on any booking and has no paid visibility feature to switch on.
Is Booksy free?
No, Booksy is not free, though it can be tried for free for 7 days. Booksy offers a 7-day free trial with no card, no commitment, cancel anytime, monthly. After the trial, the £48 a month plan with VAT applies. Revyfy's 7-day free trial also needs no card, before its flat £39.99 a month begins.
What are Booksy's card fees?
Booksy charges Mobile Payments at 1.29% + 20p + VAT per transaction, Tap to Pay at 0.99% + 20p + VAT per transaction, and Fast Payouts, paid out within 30 minutes, at a 1.5% fee. SMS marketing is included up to 500 messages a month, with messages beyond that limit costing 5p each; appointment confirmations and reminders are always free. Revyfy does not publish card processing rates on its site: card processing applies on both platforms.
What a 3-chair salon pays: Booksy vs Revyfy
A 3-chair salon (the owner plus 2 additional team members) pays £48 + 2 x £6 = £60 a month with VAT, before Boost. Revyfy's flat price is £39.99 a month at the same staff count.
Swipe sideways to see the whole table
| Business | Booksy (subscription, with VAT) | Booksy with Boost (8 clients/mo) | Revyfy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-chair salon | £60/month | about £168/month | £39.99/month |
If that same salon turns Boost on and gets 8 new Boost clients a month at a £45 first visit, the Boost fees alone add £108, taking the month to about £168 on top of the £60 subscription with VAT. A salon sending 800 marketing texts a month also pays 300 x 5p = £15 extra on Booksy once the 500 free messages are used. Revyfy's £39.99 does not carry any of those variables: it is one number, unlimited staff, zero commission, whatever the team size and whatever happens with new clients that month.
The flat-price alternative: Revyfy
Revyfy is £39.99 a month, flat, for unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking, with no VAT added. The price includes online booking on your own branded page, the diary, POS, client records with notes and consent forms, reminders, email and SMS marketing, custom forms, waitlist, deposits with a shown cancellation policy, and gift cards at the till. Revy AI, the assistant that answers questions about the business and helps manage clients, is available as an add-on at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free.
Whether the business is a single chair or a team of six, the price stays £39.99. There is no per-user charge to track as staff join, and no Boost-style fee taken from a new client's first visit.
During your 7-day free trial, the Revyfy team moves your data over from Booksy: staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock all come across, so you are not starting from a blank system. No card is needed to start the trial.
