Compare a real monthly example
Example month: solo business, 80 bookings, Boost enabled, 35% brand‑new customers from Boost, £50 average first visit.
- Bookivo Solo subscription: £24/mo
- 80 bookings/month: included
- New customer fee: £0
- Email reminders: included (no per-email charges)
- Marketing emails: Bookivo doesn’t charge per email
- Total example: £24/mo
- Booksy subscription: £40/mo (pricing page)
- 80 bookings/month; Boost enabled; 35% are brand-new customers from Boost
- Average first visit value: £50
- Boost fee: one-time 30% fee (min £5) on Boost client first visit → 28 × £15 = £420
- Total example: £40 + £420 = £460 (plus VAT and any extra users at £5/mo each, if applicable)
