The detail

Where the models pull apart.

Pricing

Fresha earns more from you as you grow: every bookable team member adds £9.95 a month, and each new marketplace client carries a one-time 20% fee, minimum £4. Revyfy charges £39.99 flat whether you have one chair or eleven. At three staff Fresha comes to about £102 once the new-client fee is added, and at six about £168.

Getting booked

Both give clients online booking. The difference is whose shopfront it is. On Fresha, your profile lives in their marketplace, listed alongside nearby salons. With Revyfy, clients book on your own branded page at your own link, from your Instagram bio or Google profile. Nobody advertises a competitor next to your diary.

Growing your team

This is where the maths moves fastest. Adding a fourth chair on Fresha means another £9.95 every month. On Revyfy, staff four, five and six cost nothing extra. If your plan is growth, the flat price is a bet on your own success.

Everything included

Revyfy's flat price covers the whole platform: booking, diary and reminders, POS, client records, email and SMS marketing, consent forms with e-signatures, and rooms and equipment scheduling. The only optional extra is Revy AI at £24.99. What you see on the pricing page is the whole bill.

Switching

Moving to Revyfy is done for you: we move your staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock during the 14-day trial, free, and you can run both systems side by side until you are ready. The full detail is on our Fresha alternative page, and the general playbook is in how to switch without losing a booking.

The real choice

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

What the marketplace gives you

The Fresha marketplace gives you a profile where people search for nearby salons, with a one-time fee on each new client it sends. What it cannot give you is a shopfront of your own: your listing sits in their catalogue, next to your competitors, and the audience it builds belongs to the marketplace.

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 never moves, no fee ever comes out of a booking, and every client you win stays yours. Growth costs nothing extra.
