Both combine salon software with consumer discovery. Here is how to compare their published pricing, marketplace role and questions to ask before signing in 2026.
There's a third option neither mentions —0% commission with Slotivo ↓Fresha currently publishes a £14.95 monthly Independent plan, a £9.95 per-bookable-member Team plan, and a 20% one-time commission for qualifying new marketplace clients. Treatwell pricing can depend on the salon's partner proposal, so request the complete subscription, commission and payment terms in writing. The better choice depends on team size, marketplace demand and the value of each acquired client.
Commission structure, subscription costs, and marketplace exposure.

Fresha figures checked against Fresha's official UK pricing page on 3 August 2026. Treatwell terms should be confirmed in the salon's current partner proposal. Both brands are trademarks of their respective owners; Slotivo is not affiliated with either company.
It depends on team size, marketplace bookings and the Treatwell proposal offered to the salon. Fresha currently publishes UK subscription prices and a 20% one-time commission for qualifying new marketplace clients. Ask Treatwell for its current subscription, commission and payment terms, then model both with your own booking mix.
Both offer consumer marketplace discovery, but their commercial structures and qualifying booking rules differ. Fresha publishes its marketplace fee on its pricing page. Treatwell salons should confirm the current terms in their individual partner proposal.
Some salons run Fresha as their day-to-day booking system while also listing on Treatwell's marketplace through Treatwell Connect, a sync tool that mirrors your calendar without forcing you to migrate. It can work, but you take on two sets of marketplace fees and two systems to keep in sync. See our full breakdown on Fresha vs Treatwell Connect.
Both platforms also maintain a relationship with customers who use their consumer marketplaces. Before choosing either, request a demonstration of the exact client, booking and marketing-consent data you can export if you later leave.
A new salon should compare the value of marketplace discovery with the complete cost and contract. Fresha and Treatwell can help clients discover businesses; an independent system is more suitable when the salon already generates demand through its own local reputation, Google or social channels.
Fresha and Treatwell both need to show your clients other salons to make their marketplace work — that's the business model. Slotivo is a flat-rate booking system with no public marketplace: your booking page is yours, your client list is yours, and you keep 100% of what you charge.
Free forever for 1-2 staff. No commission, no marketplace, no competitor ads on your booking page.
