Fresha Fee Calculator: See Your Real Costs
Is Fresha really free?
No. Fresha ended its free tier in July 2026. It now charges a monthly subscription ($19.95 solo, or $14.95 per bookable team member), plus a 20% fee (minimum $6) on each new client's first marketplace booking, plus card processing fees (roughly 2.2–3.3% + $0.20 per transaction). For a busy salon doing 100+ bookings a month with a mix of new and returning clients, total monthly costs can reach $300–700 or more.
Fresha used to advertise "free to start" — that changed in July 2026. Between the subscription, the 20% new-client fee, and payment processing, costs add up fast. Use this calculator to see roughly what Fresha would charge you, and how much you'd save with BookrHub's 0% commission model.

Why Fresha Isn't Really Free Anymore
Fresha used to market itself as "the #1 free booking platform for beauty and wellness." That changed in July 2026. Here's what a "paid plan" now actually includes:
- $19.95/month solo, or $14.95/month per team member — required subscription, no permanent free tier
- 20% fee (minimum $6) on new marketplace clients — charged once per new client's first booking
- Payment processing fees — roughly 2.2-3.3% + $0.20 on top of everything else
- No ownership of customer data — Your customer relationships are on Fresha's platform

Fresha costs assume a solo Individual plan ($19.95/month), 30% of bookings from new marketplace clients (20% fee, min $6), and ≈2.7% + $0.20 card processing on every booking. A multi-person team on Fresha's Team plan ($14.95/month per member) would pay more. BookrHub costs based on Pro plan pricing. Actual costs depend on your plan selection and client mix.
