Pick your trade. Every page has your starter services, your numbers in the savings calculator, and the same promise: 0% commission, one flat price for the whole team.
What you get
Every line below is paired with what real Fresha users have written about it. These are reviews, not statistics.
0% on every booking, including a client's first one. We record where a booking came from for your own reports, never to bill you.
“This company will rob you with 20% commission fee for ‘new clients’ even though these clients have found you on instagram ads that you are paying for.”
Connect your own Stripe account in two minutes for deposits, no-show protection and tap-to-pay checkout, or keep your current card machine. Stripe pays you directly; we never touch your money and take nothing from your card payments. A Stripe Interac tap is 15¢. Fresha lists 2.29% + CA0.20 on every in-person card, Interac included. Card reader optional for deposits and no-show fees. For in-person tap checkout, Stripe readers from about CA$79 (Bluetooth) or CA$419 (countertop, S700).
Fresha's pricing page in Canada shows one in-person rate for every card. It has no separate debit rate.
We import your clients, future bookings, services and staff from your Fresha export, then show you a side-by-side check. Nothing goes live until you say so. Booking page, calendar and reminders can be live in 48 hours; card payments start when you are ready: connect Stripe, or keep your current card machine and record payments in Fairbooked.
Saved cards can't move between systems, so clients are asked to add a card again. We tell you that up front.
You get a real person's name and number, usually a reply within the hour during business hours. It is not a guarantee, and it is not a ticket queue.
“Fresha is terrible! They have terrible customer service. No phone number to ring. Terrible lags in getting back to support emails.”
Cancel in the app in two taps. Export clients, appointments, services, staff and payments as CSV whenever you like, and for 90 days after you cancel.
“…unless I pay hundreds of dollars a year, I will be completely locked out of my own account. No access to my calendar, no access to my client list — nothing.”
Email and SMS reminders and confirmations are part of the product. No per-message fees, no add-on to switch on.
“I just want somewhere to keep track of clients and send out reminders (for which we had to pay for SMS anyway).”
A public status page, and a service credit for every hour we are down. Double-booking is blocked in the database itself, not just on screen.
“This app constantly updates.. with features that arguably make it worse and in general are buggy.”
CA$29 a month for the first 50 businesses, locked for 24 months in the terms, then CA$49 with 12 months' written notice. Flat for the whole team. The lock covers the subscription only, never card rates.
“Early testers were specifically promised that we would never be charged per employee — unfortunately, that promise did not hold true.”
Savings calculator
Put in your own numbers. We work out Fresha's monthly bill from its published prices, and ours as Stripe's card rates plus our flat monthly price, and show every line of both. The figures start on an example business.
You would keep
CA$1,756 a year
That is CA$146.35 a month, 38.1% less than Fresha.
Rates as of September 2026. Fresha can change its prices. With us means Stripe's published Canadian card rates, paid to Stripe, plus our CA$29 a month. Card reader optional for deposits and no-show fees. For in-person tap checkout, Stripe readers from about CA$79 (Bluetooth) or CA$419 (countertop, S700).
Savings = Fresha's total minus ours = CA$146.35 a month, times 12 = CA$1,756.20 a year. We assume 85% of card volume is taken in person and the rest online, that 45% of it is Interac debit in person at CA$0.15 a tap, and that the number of payments is card volume divided by your average ticket.

Who it is for
Independent barbers and small salons, from one chair to six: places where the owner is often the one holding the clippers, and the diary lives on a phone. Spas, clinics and studios book the same way: pick your trade above.

How switching works
Step 1
A short form: who you are, what you use now and roughly how big you are. A named person texts you, usually within the hour during business hours.
Step 2
Clients, future bookings, services and staff come across from your Fresha export, and you look at a side-by-side check. Nothing goes live until you say so.
Step 3
Booking page, calendar and reminders are live in 48 hours from your export. Point your Instagram, WhatsApp and Google links at your new page, and connect Stripe for deposits and card payments, or keep your current card machine and record payments in Fairbooked. Cancel Fresha when you are happy.
