Fees
No cut on new clients.
With Boost on, Booksy charges a one-time fee of 30% of a new client's first visit, up to $100. BKRDY takes 0% on every booking, new client or regular. On card payments you pay Stripe's standard fee, nothing on top.
Booksy alternative
Your clients. No Boost fee.
Booksy is a marketplace app with a monthly fee and an optional Boost fee on new clients it sends you. BKRDY is your own booking site, with 0% commission on every booking and a Free plan to start.

Why owners switch
What changes when
you leave Booksy.
Your site
A site that is yours.
Booksy gives you a Booksy Profile, a public page with your services, prices, reviews and a booking button. BKRDY gives you a designed booking website with your gallery, policies and reviews. It is your site, not a listing beside other studios.
Kito
An assistant that knows your book.
Ask Kito who is booked tomorrow, where the openings are, or what sold best this month. He answers with real names and numbers, and proposes bookings or moves as a card. Nothing changes until you tap Confirm.

Fair is fair
When Booksy is the better pick.
If you want a marketplace to send you new clients, Booksy has one, and Boost only charges when it brings someone new. Booksy also sells card readers that work with its app, and one price covers every feature, memberships and loyalty cards included.
Coming from Booksy, Vagaro, GlossGenius, Square, Fresha, StyleSeat or Acuity? We move your services, clients and upcoming appointments for you, free, usually the same day.
How switching worksQuestions
Short answers.
Does BKRDY charge a fee on new clients?
No. BKRDY takes 0% commission on every booking, whether the client is new or has sat in your chair for years. Card payments go to your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢.
Can you move my Booksy clients and appointments?
Yes, for free. We move your services, clients and upcoming appointments for you, usually the same day, so your booked clients keep their times while you switch.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. BKRDY Free is $0 forever with no card, and includes a booking site, deposits, a client book and email reminders. Paid plans start at $21 a month and add unlimited text reminders.
Do my clients need an app to book?
No. Clients book 24/7 as a guest from your site and manage the booking from the link in their confirmation email. They can make a free client account if they want one.
Can I keep Booksy while I switch?
You can. Booksy bills monthly with no commitment, and BKRDY Free costs nothing, so you can set up your site, move your book and change your bio link before you cancel.
