Fresha vs salonMonster, at a glance
Based on each company's current pricing pages. Fresha's prices change by currency and region. See their pricing page for exact numbers in your area.
Fresha's 20% fee only applies to a client's first booking through their marketplace, not to clients who find you through your own website, Google, or referrals.
Fresha fits best if its marketplace and wide feature set matter more to you than owning the client relationship.
salonMonster fits best if you want your own brand front and center, the essentials included, and real support from people who know the industry.
Why beauty pros switch to salonMonster
Your booking page should build your name, not Fresha's. And when you switch, we do the heavy lifting.
Your booking page, your brand
salonMonster's booking widget lives on your own website, under your own name. No extra account for clients to create, no other brand in the way. Booking with you should be easy, not a detour through someone else's app.
Don't have a website yet? A full website builder is on the way, so you'll be able to build your whole site with salonMonster, no other software needed. Coming soon

Frequently asked questions
Is salonMonster cheaper than Fresha?
Not always by sticker price alone. Fresha's starting price can be lower. The fairer comparison is your whole month, once you add their marketplace fee and any paid add-ons you'd need.
What if my Fresha data doesn't export cleanly?
It depends on what Fresha's export includes. We'll tell you exactly what can move over before you cancel anything on Fresha.
What if I want to leave salonMonster later?
Export your data anytime from Settings. No contracts, no lock-in. That's our No-Trap Promise.
