The basics

What is Booksy?

Booksy is a booking platform with a consumer marketplace and app. Its one UK plan is £48 a month with VAT, plus £6 a month with VAT for every additional team member. A salon appears in the Booksy Marketplace and can also share its 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 (minimum £5) on a Boost client's first visit. A 7-day free trial is available with no card. Revyfy is the flat-price alternative described below: one price, no VAT added, no marketplace fee, your own booking page.

Even a solo pays Booksy £48 with VAT against Revyfy's £39.99. The gap opens as a team grows: every extra team member adds £6 with VAT on Booksy, and turning Boost on adds a one-time 30% fee on each Boost client's first visit. Revyfy's £39.99 does not move, and your booking page is your own, not a shared marketplace listing. Card processing applies on both platforms, as it does everywhere.

The detail

Where the models pull apart.

Pricing and VAT

Booksy is £48 a month with VAT, plus £6 with VAT for every additional team member. Revyfy charges £39.99 flat, no VAT added, whatever the size of the team.

Boost

Booksy's Boost feature is free to turn on but charges a one-time 30% fee, minimum £5, on a Boost client's first visit. Booksy's own advice is to share your profile link so clients who book through it are not charged for when Boost is on. Revyfy has no paid visibility feature and takes 0% commission on any booking.

Getting booked

New clients can find a business through the Booksy Marketplace or the Booksy for Customers app. With Revyfy, clients book on your own branded page at your own link, from your Instagram bio or Google profile, with no app to install.

Trial and terms

Booksy offers a 7-day free trial, no card, cancel anytime, monthly. Revyfy offers a 7-day free trial, also no card and cancel anytime.

AI assistant

Revyfy's Revy AI is an optional add-on at £24.99 a month, with the first 2 months free and included.

The real choice

A listing in their marketplace, or a shopfront of your own.

What the marketplace gives you

The Booksy Marketplace gives you a listing where people search for nearby businesses, plus an app of its own for clients to book from. What it cannot give you is a shopfront of your own: your listing sits in their marketplace, next to your competitors, and the price rises with VAT and every extra team member.

What your own page gives you

A branded booking link that is yours from day one, shared from Instagram, Google and word of mouth. Whether you are just you and a chair or a team of six, the price stays £39.99, no VAT added, no fee ever comes out of a booking, and every client you win stays yours. Growth costs nothing extra.
