Booksy keeps pricing simple: $29.99 a month for the business, plus $20 a month for each additional team member, with every feature included. That covers marketing tools, message blasts, waitlists, gift cards, text and email marketing, a free listing on the Booksy marketplace and unlimited bookings, and clients book through a free app with no fees. There is no commitment and a 14-day trial that does not need a credit card. Booksy does not take commissions on clients who find you through your own link or marketing. The paid exception is Boost, an optional marketing feature that charges 30% of the first visit for brand new clients who book while it is on, so share your own profile link with regulars. In-person payments on the Booksy card reader cost 2.49% plus 10 cents per transaction. Booksy fits barbers and independent pros better than spas that need resources, charting or multi-location controls.
