FlowHub vs Fresha: one flat fee for the whole team.

The short answer

If your clients mostly rebook with you directly, FlowHub usually costs less, and it doesn't go up when you add therapists. Clients book you on channels you own, where no other salon or spa is listed next to you.

Fresha charges per team member, takes a one-time fee on new marketplace clients and earns on card processing. FlowHub charges one flat monthly fee and takes nothing per booking. Which is cheaper depends on your team size and where your clients come from.

SWITCHING FAQ

What spa and salon owners ask before leaving Fresha.

Not answered here? Ask us on WhatsApp.

How is FlowHub different from Fresha?

Fresha charges a monthly subscription for each bookable team member, a one-time fee on new clients its marketplace sends you, and card processing fees on payments it handles. FlowHub charges one flat monthly fee and takes 0 percent of any booking, so your cost does not grow as your spa or salon gets busier or adds therapists.

Is Fresha still free?

No. Fresha now sells subscription plans: one price for a solo professional and a price per bookable team member for teams. The one-time fee on new marketplace clients and card processing come on top. Returning clients carry no marketplace fee. Prices differ by country, so check the plan on your own account.

Which one is cheaper for my spa or salon?

It depends on two things: how many bookable team members you have, and how many brand-new clients Fresha's marketplace sends you each month. More therapists and more marketplace clients push the Fresha bill up. Put the numbers from your last Fresha invoice into the calculator on this page to see both side by side.

Can I move my client list and appointment history?

Yes. Exporting your client list is part of our migration checklist, and our team imports it into your FlowHub CRM during the 48-hour concierge setup, including notes and visit history where your export includes them.

Does FlowHub handle therapist and room scheduling?

Yes. FlowHub books by staff member and by resource, so therapist availability, room availability and treatment duration are all respected in one calendar.

Do you have a marketplace that sends me new clients?

No, on purpose. On a marketplace your spa or salon is listed next to competing venues, and the client who came looking for you can be shown other options. FlowHub sends clients to channels you own: your website, Google, Instagram and WhatsApp. There you are not compared side by side, and the client relationship stays with you.
