Treatwell Connect isn't a Fresha competitor — it's an add-on that plugs into whatever booking system you already use. Here's exactly what it does and what running both actually costs.
There's a simpler option than running two systems —see Slotivo ↓Fresha is a full booking system. Treatwell Connect is not — it's a sync tool that lets salons on other systems (Fresha included) also appear on Treatwell's marketplace, without migrating. If you're already on Fresha and considering Treatwell Connect, you're not choosing one or the other — you're deciding whether to add a second subscription and a second marketplace commission on top of what Fresha already charges you.
What each option actually involves.
One system, one marketplace. You pay 20% commission on new clients Fresha's marketplace sends you, no subscription fee. No Treatwell exposure.
Fresha stays your booking system. Treatwell Connect syncs it to Treatwell's marketplace. You pay Fresha's fees and Treatwell's subscription plus commission on anything booked via Treatwell.
One flat-rate system like Slotivo, no public marketplace. You drive your own traffic via Instagram, Google, and your website — no commission, no second calendar to manage.

Treatwell Connect is a sync tool from Treatwell that lets salons using another booking system — including Fresha, Phorest, Timely, and others — appear on the Treatwell marketplace without switching software. It mirrors your existing calendar so bookings made via Treatwell land directly in your current system.
Correct — they solve different problems. Fresha is a full booking system (calendar, client records, payments, and its own marketplace). Treatwell Connect is not a booking system at all; it's an add-on that plugs your existing system into Treatwell's separate marketplace. Many salons searching this term are really asking whether to add Treatwell Connect on top of the system they already use, Fresha included.
You pay for both separately. You keep whatever Fresha already costs you (0% subscription, 20% commission on Fresha marketplace new clients), and add Treatwell's own subscription and commission on top for any bookings that arrive through the Treatwell marketplace specifically. It does not reduce or replace Fresha's fees — it's an additional cost and an additional source of marketplace commission.
No — that's the point of Treatwell Connect. It syncs availability and bookings automatically so you don't get double-booked across the two platforms. The tradeoff is you're now dependent on two companies' systems staying in sync correctly, and paying two sets of marketplace fees for the privilege.
If the appeal of Treatwell Connect is marketplace exposure without switching software, it's worth weighing that against just running one independent booking system with your own booking page, shareable on Instagram, Google, and your website — no second subscription, no second commission structure, and no second calendar to reconcile.
If you're weighing up whether a second marketplace fee is worth it, it's worth comparing against just switching to one independent, flat-rate system. No Fresha fees, no Treatwell Connect fees stacked on top — just your own booking page and 0% commission.
