Fresha alternatives for UK beauty businesses
Fresha is familiar to a lot of UK beauty businesses. Searching for an alternative usually means you want a different commercial model, a booking experience that feels more like your own brand, or a simpler monthly cost. This article does not pretend to audit Fresha’s entire product. It explains how to choose an alternative without copying anyone’s marketing.
Be clear why you want to switch
Write down the actual problem. Unpredictable fees, a marketplace feel, missing clinic forms, or just wanting your own website are different jobs. An alternative that only copies the calendar will disappoint you.
If marketplace discovery is still how you get most new clients, leaving without a Google and Instagram plan can go quiet. If regulars already book because of you, a branded site is often enough.
What Bookivo offers as an alternative
Bookivo is UK booking software with a branded website, online bookings, Stripe deposits, consultation forms, reminders, CRM and team calendars. There is no marketplace commission. Solo is £24/month; Growing Teams is £39/month. You can request a branded preview before you trial.
For a side-by-side feature discussion we already maintain a comparison page. Use that for the checklist, and Fresha’s own pricing page for their current numbers — those change.
How to move
Export whatever your current system allows, usually clients as CSV. Email hello@bookivo.co.uk. Export menus in other products change, so use that provider’s help centre for click-by-click export steps rather than an outdated blog screenshot.
