Fresha Fees UK: Subscription, Marketplace and Payment Costs

Fresha's cost depends on the plan you choose, the number of bookable team members, how customers discover you and which payment method they use. Looking only at one fee can therefore give a misleading picture.

Pricing checked 3 August 2026. Providers change prices and terms, so confirm the latest amount on Fresha's official pricing page before making a purchasing decision.

Fresha's UK Monthly Plans

Fresha's public UK pricing page lists an Independent plan at £14.95 per month for a one-person business. Its Team plan is listed at £9.95 per bookable team member per month. Fresha also advertises enterprise options for businesses with more than 20 team members.

For a team plan, multiply the per-member amount by everyone who needs a bookable calendar. Then add any paid messaging, payment or marketplace costs relevant to the business.

Fresha Marketplace New-Client Fee

Fresha states that a one-time 20% commission applies when a brand-new client discovers and books the business through the Fresha marketplace, with a minimum fee of £4 per client. Its pricing page says this fee does not apply to returning clients or to new clients who find the business through its own website, Google or social channels.

This charge is best evaluated as customer-acquisition spend. A business that receives valuable new demand from the marketplace may decide the fee is worthwhile. A salon that already generates most demand directly should measure how many bookings the marketplace actually introduces.

Payment and Messaging Charges

Fresha publishes different rates for online payments, in-person transactions and other payment methods. It also lists allowances and additional charges for messages. These figures can change by plan and payment type, so use the official table to model the methods your clients use rather than relying on one headline processing rate.

How to Estimate Your Fresha Cost

Add together:

• The monthly plan or per-bookable-member subscription.
• New-client marketplace fees.
• Payment processing for the relevant transaction types.
• Messaging or optional feature charges beyond included allowances.

Run the calculation using your last three months of bookings. Separate clients acquired by the marketplace from clients generated by your own marketing.

When Fresha May Be a Good Fit

Fresha may suit businesses that value its consumer marketplace, want its wider product ecosystem and can attribute profitable new-client demand to the platform. The marketplace fee is easier to assess when the business knows its average first-booking value and repeat-client rate.

When to Consider an Independent Alternative

An independent booking system may be a better fit when the salon already attracts clients through referrals, Google, social media or its own website and wants predictable software costs without a consumer marketplace.
