Booking software for salons in Spain: alternatives to Booksy, Fresha and Treatwell
Four tools, the same criteria, data from their official pages
If you run a hair salon, a barbershop or a beauty centre and you're comparing booking software, here are the three best-known tools in Spain (Booksy, Fresha and Treatwell) and Bellioo, our own, side by side: what each one costs, what they charge per employee and per new client, whether they lock you in and what's included. We say so up front so you read this page with that in mind.

What to look at before choosing
Flat fee or commission
Some tools have a fixed monthly fee and others take a percentage of the first appointment of every new client who arrives through their marketplace. Work out how many new clients really reach you that way before deciding which one is cheaper.
Cost per employee
Some charge for every professional who takes bookings; others include the whole team. With 3 people, the yearly difference is hundreds of euros.
Lock-in
Month to month or a minimum 12-month contract. If it's your first software, being able to leave without a penalty matters.
What's included
Loyalty, WhatsApp reminders, your own website, online payments, POS: check whether you need each one and whether it comes in the base fee or as an add-on with its own price.
Where your clients come from
If you depend on the tool's marketplace, its audience matters more than its price. If your clients come through Instagram, Google, WhatsApp or word of mouth, prioritise the agenda, reminders and loyalty.

Read the comparisonAnd Bellioo, who is it for?
Bellioo is for you if…
- You run a small salon (1 to 5 professionals) and want a flat fee: €9.95 or €12.95 + VAT a month, with no per-employee cost or per-client commission.
- Your clients come through word of mouth, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp and you want online bookings, reminders and loyalty without paying for separate tools.
- You don't want lock-in: you pay month to month and leave whenever you like.
Bellioo is not for you if…
- You need online payments, deposits, a POS or stock control: Bellioo doesn't process appointment payments yet and only covers agenda, bookings, clients and loyalty.
- You count on the marketplace to bring you new clients: Bellioo's has just launched and today has very few businesses and users.
- You want WhatsApp reminders within the base fee: in Bellioo they come with Pro (+€9.95/month + VAT, 200 messages a month, then €0.05 each) and only reach clients with an account who have switched that channel on.
- You run several locations and need one combined agenda, one set of metrics and one subscription: in Bellioo each location has its own.
- You need built-in e-invoicing (VeriFactu or TicketBAI).
