Why businesses look for a Booksy alternative

Booksy is a popular choice, especially with barbers. But if you want to be promoted to new clients in Booksy’s marketplace through Boost, each new client’s first visit carries a one-time 30% fee (minimum £5), on top of the monthly subscription and extra-user charges.
