What is the best alternative for Faces Consent if I want to avoid online booking fees?

If you want to avoid marketplace or per-booking fees from your booking platform, Bookivo charges a flat monthly subscription with no marketplace commission. Standard card processing fees still apply.

Is Faces a bad choice for aesthetics clinics?

No. Faces is popular with UK aesthetics clinics — especially for consent workflows — and the core software is free. Bookivo is worth comparing if you want a branded website, flat monthly pricing, or fewer per-deposit platform fees.

What does Faces charge if the app is free?

Per Faces FAQ, the software is free but deposit payments include a 1.8% Ryft transaction fee plus VAT and a 20p Faces handling fee. Other Faces services may have separate fees.

Can Bookivo replace Faces for my aesthetics clinic?

It depends on your workflow. Bookivo covers booking, forms, deposits and a branded website. It does not replicate Faces prescriber/pharmacy clinic features — confirm what you rely on before switching.

Can you import my Faces client list?

Yes — where you can export a CSV from Faces, we can import standard client fields. Email hello@bookivo.co.uk to get started.

Does Bookivo charge commission on bookings?

No — flat monthly pricing with no marketplace commission.

Why aesthetics clinics compare Faces alternatives

“Free” software can still have transaction costs — and some clinics want a fuller branded website experience.

Deposit transaction fees
Faces is free to use, but its FAQ states deposit payments include a Ryft transaction fee plus VAT and a 20p Faces handling fee.
Fee model vs flat subscription
Per-deposit fees can be harder to predict than a fixed monthly subscription as your booking volume grows.
Website vs app-first workflow
Some clinics want a standalone branded booking website — not only an app-led booking flow.
