No. Fresha charges a subscription: €19.95/month for a single professional (Solo plan) or €12.95/month for every bookable team member (Team plan), plus VAT. On top of that come the extras: a one-off fee for every new client who books through its marketplace, calculated on their first appointment (it doesn't publish the percentage), 1.29% on every online payment, messages beyond the monthly allowance, the loyalty programme (€39.95/month) or your own website (€13.95/month).

How much does Fresha cost per staff member?

On the Team plan, Fresha charges €12.95/month + VAT for every bookable team member. A 3-person salon pays €38.85/month + VAT; a 5-person one, €64.75/month + VAT. With Bellioo Team you pay €12.95/month in total, with unlimited staff.

Does Fresha charge a fee for new clients?

Yes. When a client who isn't on your list discovers you on the Fresha marketplace and books online, according to its help centre Fresha applies a one-off fee calculated on the value of their first completed appointment, with a minimum and a maximum, but it doesn't publish the percentage and its Spanish pricing page shows that line as "Free": confirm it with Fresha before signing up. Later visits and direct bookings are fee-free. With Bellioo the commission on new clients is 0%.

How much does Bellioo cost compared to Fresha?

Bellioo costs €9.95/month (Individual) or €12.95/month (Team, with unlimited staff). Fresha starts at €19.95/month + VAT for one professional and charges €12.95/month + VAT per team member, according to its official website in Spain. A 3-person salon pays €12.95/month with Bellioo and €38.85/month + VAT with Fresha.

Does Bellioo charge per booking or per new client?

No. With Bellioo you only pay your flat monthly fee: no commission per booking, none per new client and no percentage of your revenue.

Is it hard to switch from Fresha to Bellioo?

No: create your account, set up services, schedules and your team in minutes and start taking bookings. You can keep both platforms running in parallel while you switch.

What is the price frozen for life?

If you're among Bellioo's first 100 clients, the fee of your base plan (Individual or Team) won't go up as long as you keep your subscription without interruption; if you switch between those two plans, you keep the frozen price of the destination plan. It doesn't cover Pro or taxes, and it's lost if you cancel or if a payment stays unpaid for more than 30 days (Business terms, section 4).

How we did the maths

Scenario: a salon with 3 bookable professionals, over 12 months.
Bellioo: Team plan, €12.95/month × 12 = €155.40 a year, with all 3 professionals included and 0% commissions.
Fresha: Team plan, €12.95/month per bookable team member × 3 = €38.85/month × 12 = €466.20 a year. We leave out the marketplace new client fee (Fresha doesn't publish the percentage: its pricing page marks that line as "Free" and its help centre describes it with a minimum and a maximum), the 1.29% on online payments and the loyalty (€39.95/month) and website (€13.95/month) add-ons.
Amounts are compared excluding VAT: Fresha states its prices don't include the 21% sales tax (VAT).
Fresha data is taken from its official pricing page and help centre (see Sources) and checked again whenever they change; the last review date is shown at the top of the page.

Who is each option for?

Bellioo is for you if…

You have a team and don't want to pay per member: Bellioo Team is €12.95 a month in total, with unlimited professionals.
You want loyalty and a newsletter included from day one, without €39.95/month add-ons.
You prefer a simple tool focused on your agenda, bookings and clients.

Bellioo is not for you if…

You need online payments, deposits, a POS, card terminals or stock control: Fresha has them built in and Bellioo doesn't process appointment payments yet.
You want WhatsApp reminders within the base fee: in Bellioo they come with Pro (+€9.95/month, 200 messages a month, then €0.05 each) and only reach clients with an account who have switched that channel on.
You count on the marketplace to bring you new clients: Bellioo's has just launched and today has very few businesses and users, so the visibility included in your fee is worth little for now; your own channels bring in your clients.
You run several locations and need one combined agenda, one set of metrics and one subscription: in Bellioo you can have several locations under the same account and switch between them, but each has its own agenda, plan and reports, with no consolidated view.

Fresha is a better fit if…

You sell products, take payment upfront or want payments built in (1.29% online, 0.99% in person) within the same tool.
You're a solo professional who makes the most of its marketplace and client app, and its €19.95 + VAT a month suits you.
You need advanced features such as team sales commissions or its AI virtual receptionist.
