Why switch from Booksy?

Booksy charges £30+ a month. Rexabook is £15 a month all in — half the price, cancel anytime, no contract.

Booksy sends push notifications. Rexabook sends WhatsApp messages your clients actually read.

Why switch from Fresha?

Fresha takes commission on every booking. Rexabook charges a flat £15 a month — your revenue is yours.

Fresha relies on email and SMS. Rexabook sends everything via WhatsApp.

Fresha treats every stylist the same on the menu. Rexabook's Service Variants let each team member set their own price and duration — visible on the booking page, quoted by the AI, paid out to the right person.

Export your Fresha clients as CSV and import them to Rexabook in seconds.

Why switch from pen and paper?

Switching FAQ

How long does it take to switch from Booksy?

About 5 minutes. Export your client list from Booksy as a CSV, upload it to Rexabook, add your services and hours, and you're live. We auto-detect the Booksy format.

Will I lose my clients if I switch?

No. Your clients book via your Rexabook link — just update the link in your Instagram bio, Google Business, or wherever you share it. Your client data imports with the CSV.

What if my clients prefer the old system?

Your clients don't interact with your booking system brand — they see your booking page and get WhatsApp messages. Most won't even notice you've switched, except their experience will be better.

Do I need to cancel my old subscription first?

You can run both in parallel during your 30-day trial. Once you're happy with Rexabook, cancel your old subscription. No risk.
