FAQ
Is Booknexo cheaper than Fresha?
It depends on booking volume. High-volume shops often pay less with a flat Booknexo subscription than with marketplace fees — calculate against your monthly booking value.
Will I get as many clients without a marketplace?
Marketplaces bring demand; Booknexo helps you convert demand you already have (Google, Instagram, walk-ins) and optionally list on Explore. Many owners use both models at different stages.
