A Booksy alternative that gives you the page,not the listing.

It depends on why you are leaving. If you want the marketplace traffic but cheaper, Squire and Fresha are the closest swaps. If the marketplace itself is the problem, a plain booking page like ZenSched is the honest answer: you keep the client, you pay a flat price, and nobody lists a competitor beside you.

You lose the discovery traffic, which for most shops is a small share of the book. Regulars follow the link. The usual approach is to keep the Booksy listing for a month while your own link goes on Instagram, Google Business and the shop window, then decide with real numbers.

No. Pricing is flat per month per location. A first time client booking costs the same as a regular rebooking, which is nothing extra.

Yes. Each staff member gets their own hours and service list, and clients can pick a specific person or choose whoever is available. That works from the free plan up.

The closest marketplace style apps are Fresha, Vagaro and Squire, all of which mix a booking system with consumer discovery. If you want the booking system without the marketplace, ZenSched, Acuity and Square Appointments are the plain page options. ZenSched is the one with a free plan and no commission on new clients.

Fresha and Vagaro compete on marketplace reach, Squire competes specifically for barbershops, GlossGenius competes for solo beauty pros, and ZenSched competes on the opposite side: no marketplace at all, flat pricing, and a booking page that only shows your business.

Yes. The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. No credit card to start.

Yes. Every booking page has a standalone link at your Smart Slug on booking.zensched.app. Share it in an Instagram bio, on Google Business, in an email signature, or link to it from any site.

ZenSched sends a confirmation email the moment a client books and a reminder email before the appointment. Sends run on a queue so they never block a booking.

Yes. Every booking creates a customer record in your workspace. Export any time. ZenSched does not resell or remarket to your clients.

Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.

Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.
