Fresha's calendar is free to start, but it makes its money on new-client marketplace-booking fees and card processing, and it puts your clients on its marketplace. Mewayz gives you bookings, deposits, a branded site and the full back office on one flat plan — no per-client fee, no marketplace.
The calendar is free, but bookings from Fresha's marketplace carry a new-client commission, and card processing has its own cut — so growth quietly costs you.
New clients arrive through the Fresha marketplace and app, so the relationship and the data sit with the platform, not with you.
No branded website, no real CRM, no accounting — you stitch those together elsewhere.
