Booksy is the easiest pricing on this list: $29.99 a month plus tax unlocks every feature, and each additional team member costs $20 a month. That covers 24/7 online booking, calendar and client management, no-show protection, waitlists, custom forms and liability waivers, Reserve with Google, online gift cards, memberships and packages, reporting, email marketing and 2,000 free SMS marketing messages a month. Clients book through the free Booksy app or your profile link, and Booksy says it never charges clients to book. Payments are integrated, with 2.49% + $0.10 on the Booksy card reader and free next-business-day payouts. The catch is Boost: if you switch on this marketplace promotion, Booksy takes a one-time 30% of a new client's first visit, capped at $100, so share your own profile link to avoid the fee on clients you bring in yourself. Payroll, commissions and deep inventory tools are thinner than at Vagaro or Mangomint.
