Bookzyr vs Fresha.
Fresha's “free” plan charges a 20% commission on every new-client booking that comes through their marketplace. Bookzyr is a monthly fee per team member. Here's the math — and where Fresha still has the edge.
Side by side
What “free” actually costs.
The math: 5 new clients × $200 average ticket × 20% = $200/month in fees. That's more than Bookzyr's subscription for a team of 9 ($19.95 per team member a month).
