Adding a barber shouldn't
add to your software bill.
Booksy charges per provider — so every barber you add increases your monthly cost. barber.shop has no per-barber fees, and every one of them gets their own SEO-optimized profile page and booking link.

Where barber.shop stands out
No per-provider pricing
Booksy charges for each provider on your account. Grow your team and your costs grow with it. barber.shop doesn't charge per barber — add as many as you need.
No "Boost" upsell
Booksy's marketplace pushes "Boost" subscriptions to get visibility. On barber.shop, your shop's profile is visible to customers without paying extra for placement.
Multi-location from day one
Booksy is designed for individual providers, not multi-location businesses. barber.shop is built to scale - it gives you a single dashboard to manage all your locations, staff, and appointments.
In-shop card terminal
Booksy focuses on online payments. barber.shop integrates with CardPointe terminals for in-shop card processing — tap, insert, swipe, and PIN debit all supported.
Being fair about Booksy
Booksy has strengths worth noting.
- • Large marketplace — Booksy has a large consumer-facing marketplace where customers discover new providers.
- • Dedicated mobile app — Booksy has native iOS and Android apps for both providers and clients.
- • International presence — Booksy operates in many countries, which matters for international chains.
The question is whether Booksy's marketplace and app are worth a per-provider monthly fee that grows with your team — especially when barber.shop gives every barber their own SEO-optimized profile page with no per-barber fees. Check Booksy's pricing page for current rates.
