## The short version

Fresha combines booking, point of sale, and a consumer marketplace, and charges per team member. FindSlot is a booking layer with a flat focus on the client-facing flow. The choice usually comes down to how you want new clients to find you and how you feel about metered messaging.

### What Fresha is built for

Fresha pairs booking with point of sale and a consumer marketplace, charged per team member, with a monthly message allowance and per-message charges beyond it, and a one-time fee for new clients who arrive through the marketplace. Its pricing moves with headcount, messaging volume, and marketplace bookings.

### What FindSlot is built for

FindSlot puts your own booking page at the front, with QR booking to convert walk-in traffic directly and reminders that are included with the plan rather than metered per message. Clients arrive through your page, social profiles, and in-person traffic, and stay yours.

## What each one covers

Fresha's pricing page describes a subscription charged per team member, with an Independent plan for a single person and a Team plan priced per team member. It lists calendar and appointment scheduling, point of sale, client management, online booking through Facebook, Instagram and Google, and automated email appointment reminders as part of the plan.

FindSlot covers the booking side: a custom booking page, automated appointment reminders, QR code booking, staff scheduling, and mobile-friendly booking. It concentrates on your own booking flow, alongside the point of sale you already use.

### Where the costs sit

Two things in Fresha's published model are worth understanding before comparing prices. First, text and WhatsApp messages come with a monthly free allowance and are charged per message beyond it, as are marketing emails past their included allowance. Second, Fresha applies a one-time fee for brand new clients who discover your business through the Fresha marketplace.

Both mean your monthly cost moves with your messaging volume and with how many clients arrive through Fresha rather than through your own channels, which a per-seat headline price does not show. With FindSlot, reminders come with the plan and clients arrive through channels you own.

### What to check before you decide

Look at where your last fifty bookings actually came from. If most were existing clients or your own channels, weight marketplace features lower. Estimate your monthly reminder volume and price it under each model. Then review the [features](https://findslot.ai/features) and [pricing](https://findslot.ai/pricing) and compare like for like.

### The short answer

FindSlot is the right choice when a focused booking layer, reminders that are not metered per message, and independence from a discovery marketplace fit the way your business finds and keeps clients.
