Fresha markets itself as free for salons. What they don't lead with is the 1.9% transaction fee applied to every booking paid through their system. For a busy salon this is not a minor line item. It compounds with every appointment.
A salon processing 200 bookings per month at £45 average generates £9,000 in revenue. At 1.9%, that's £171/month or £2,052/year going straight to Fresha. As your business grows, so does the fee.
Vomni charges a flat £35/month regardless of how many bookings you take. That includes online booking, automated appointment reminders, lapsed client outreach, and review request messages. The cost stays fixed whether you do 50 bookings a month or 500.
How much does Fresha charge per booking?
Fresha charges a 1.9% transaction fee on all bookings processed through their platform. This is applied to the total booking value including any add-ons. For a salon doing 150 bookings/month at £40 average, that's £114/month or £1,368/year in fees.
Does Fresha have a flat-rate subscription option?
Fresha's free plan uses a percentage-based fee model. While they offer some premium features, there is no flat-rate plan that removes transaction fees entirely. The fees scale with your revenue, meaning busier salons pay significantly more.
What does Vomni charge instead?
Vomni charges a flat monthly subscription starting at £35/month with no per-booking fees. The cost stays the same regardless of how many appointments you take, which means the more bookings you process, the more you save.
Is Booksy more expensive than Fresha?
Booksy charges approximately 2% per transaction, slightly higher than Fresha's 1.9%. For high-volume salons, this difference adds up. Both platforms charge percentage fees, unlike Vomni which charges a flat monthly rate.
At what booking volume does switching to Vomni make sense?
At Fresha's 1.9% rate, a salon processing £1,842/month in bookings (roughly 46 bookings at £40 average) would pay £35/month in fees. That is exactly what Vomni costs. Any volume above that and Vomni is cheaper.
