Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really a free alternative to Booksy?
Yes. Slotivo is free forever for salons and barbershops with 1-2 staff — not a trial. You get online booking, a branded booking page, reminders, and deposit collection at no cost, with no card required to sign up.
Does Booksy have a free plan too?
Booksy lets you list for free but takes a commission — historically up to 100% of a new client's first visit — as its fee for marketplace exposure. Slotivo charges 0% commission at any tier; the only cost is a low flat processing fee on card payments.
Why switch from Booksy if it's already "free" to join?
Booksy's marketplace listing is free, but every new client it sends you costs a slice of that booking, and you also compete for attention against every other salon on the marketplace. Slotivo gives you your own branded booking page and keeps 100% of what you charge, whether the client came from Google, Instagram, or word of mouth.
Can I bring my existing Booksy client list over?
Yes. Our support team helps migrate your client list, appointment history, and service catalogue from Booksy at no extra cost, so switching doesn't mean starting from zero.
What happens if my team grows past 2 staff?
You move to a flat monthly plan that covers unlimited staff — never a per-seat charge like Booksy's add-on pricing. Your data, bookings, and settings carry over automatically.
