What shops tell us about Booksy
Boost takes a cut of new clients
When Boost is on, Booksy keeps a percentage of a new client's first visit, a recurring complaint about surprise charges and unclear ROI.
Per-staff fees
On top of the base price, each additional team member adds to the monthly bill.
The marketplace owns the relationship
Clients book through Booksy's app and see competitors alongside you; if you leave, that relationship can stay with Booksy.
Or run it as a Collective
Rent chairs to independent barbers, each keeping their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts, while you sponsor their seats on one bill. Chairs start at $24.50 a month and the rate drops as the room fills, down to $15.00, so growing your shop lowers your cost per chair. No Boost lead fees, no per-staff pricing, and no marketplace between your barbers and their clients.
Make the switch in an afternoon
Import your clients, set your services and hours, and share your booking link the same day. Keep your clients, your payments, and your money.
No credit card required.
Switching from Booksy: common questions
Do I keep the clients I got through Booksy?+
Your barber.rsvp client list is yours to keep and export. Unlike a marketplace, no platform sits between you and your regulars or keeps the relationship if you leave.
Does barber.rsvp take a cut of new clients like Booksy Boost?+
No. You keep 100% of every client and every visit, there are no lead fees and no marketplace commission on first visits.
Is there a per-staff fee like Booksy?+
No. One flat price per shop covers unlimited barbers.
How do payments work compared to Booksy?+
Payments run through your own Stripe account with direct payouts, instead of being processed by the marketplace.
I rent chairs to independent barbers. Can barber.rsvp handle that?+
Yes, either with a Shop or a Collective. If your chairs run as one storefront (a shared menu and price list, one booking page, you running the book), that's a Shop, and one flat plan covers every chair. If each barber runs their own business (their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts) under your roof, that's a Collective, where you sponsor their seats and pay one bill. Either way, no marketplace comes between your barbers and their clients.
