Does Booksy have a free plan too?
Booksy offers a trial followed by a paid subscription. Its standard marketplace bookings are included; optional Boost promotion has a separate acquisition fee. Slotivo is free for 1–2 staff, with Stripe processing fees for online payments.
When does switching from Booksy make sense?

Can I bring my existing Booksy client list over?
Contact support with the export fields available from your current system. We can review what can be imported before you switch. Check future appointments and payment records separately; do not assume all history transfers automatically.
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.
