Pricing last verified: November 5, 2026
We checked Fresha’s official pricing page, help center, and business terms, and looked at other sources where those materials left questions open. This guide brings that information together so you can see what’s included, when extra fees apply, and what you could pay in total. We link to our sources and label cost examples so you can see how we arrived at each figure.
How much does Fresha cost?
Fresha costs $19.95 per month for one bookable professional, or $14.95 per bookable team member per month for a team. Enterprise pricing is available by quote for high-volume businesses with more than 20 team members.[1]
Your bill can also include additional charges like payment processing, new-client marketplace fees, paid add-ons, and messages beyond your included allowance. Both paid plans advertise a seven-day trial.
If you’re comparing Fresha with another booking system, start with:
- How many people will take appointments.
- How often new clients find you through Fresha’s marketplace.
- How you take payments: reader, phone, online, or manual entry.
- Which messaging tools and add-ons you need.
Fresha plans and features
Independent includes 100 automated text/WhatsApp notifications and 50 marketing emails per month. On Team, those allowances increase with each bookable team member. Payment processing and paid add-ons remain separate.
Is Fresha billed monthly or annually?
Fresha advertises monthly subscriptions, with no annual discount or annual billing option shown on its pricing page. The prices above are the advertised subscription rates, rather than introductory discounts. The seven-day trial is the temporary offer.[1]
Does Fresha charge different prices for salons, spas, and medspas?
You’ll see the same published Independent and Team prices whether you run a hair salon, nail salon, barbershop, spa, massage business, or medspa. Your team size and optional services determine what you pay; Fresha doesn’t list a separate subscription price for each of these business types.[1]
How does Fresha pricing compare to competitors?
Fresha’s solo subscription starts below the other entry prices in this table. For a team, the comparison changes: five bookable professionals cost $74.75 per month on Fresha before extras, compared with GlossGenius Gold at $48 per month billed annually. Compare the features and billing commitment alongside the subscription. GlossGenius also has separate Medspa & Aesthetics plans.[8]

How does Fresha pricing change when you add staff or locations?
You pay for people who can take calendar bookings, rather than every person with a profile. If you manage the business without taking appointments, your workspace-owner profile can be non-bookable.[2]
When you hire your first bookable employee, you move from Independent to Team. You’ll pay $29.90 for both of you—not the solo price plus a separate $14.95 charge. After that, each additional bookable team member adds $14.95 per month.
Adding another location doesn’t create a separate published base subscription charge: Fresha prices the plan by your workspace’s bookable team members. You can assign the same person to multiple locations. Location-based add-ons, additional staff, and hardware can still increase your bill.[5]
For example, Client Loyalty at two locations costs $119.90 per month before your subscription or any other charges. Insights is different: it adds $9.95 per bookable team member, so hiring another stylist increases that add-on as well.[1]
Fresha payment processing fees
If you mainly take payments on a reader, the in-person rate matters most. If you collect online deposits or type in card details, those payments use different rates. Tap to Pay also adds an authorization charge even though you’re taking the payment in person.
You can use Fresha’s scheduling tools without activating Fresha Payments. Deposits and no-show protection are among the reasons you might choose to enable it.[1]
Does Fresha charge for saving a card or refunding a payment?
When a client secures a booking by saving their card, Fresha’s business terms say the fixed component of the processing fee is charged at that point, with the percentage component charged when the appointment is checked out and paid through Fresha Payments.[4]
If you refund a deposit, payment processing fees can still apply. Fresha doesn’t list a separate refund-fee schedule or a dollar chargeback fee in its public guides.[12][11]
Fresha marketplace fees: when does the 20% charge apply?
Fresha charges a one-time 20% commission, with a $6 minimum, when a qualifying new client discovers your business through its marketplace. Returning clients don’t trigger another new-client fee.[1]
These examples show the acquisition charge before payment processing or tax. For higher-priced appointments, Fresha says a maximum cap applies, but doesn’t publish the dollar limit in the sources reviewed.[3]
Can Fresha charge a marketplace fee on a website booking?
Yes. If a new client discovers you on Fresha first and later books through your website or social media, the marketplace fee can still apply. Import existing clients before taking bookings. Unlisting your marketplace profile disables all Fresha online booking channels, including website and social bookings.[3]
What happens to Fresha’s new-client fee after a cancellation or no-show?
- Client cancels online: the fee moves to their next booking.
- You cancel for the client: the fee still applies.
- No-show: mark it on the same day to defer the fee.
- Fee already charged: it is non-refundable.
The fee is based on the original booked value; extras added at checkout are excluded.[3]
Fresha text message and email costs
Appointment notifications and marketing messages have separate allowances. You can’t treat the included notification allowance as free marketing texts.[2]
If you send 600 automated SMS notifications with three bookable team members, 300 are included and the other 300 cost $6. A separate campaign of 500 marketing texts costs $40.[1]
Extra notification messages use a prepaid communication balance. You can top it up manually or enable recurring top-ups. Purchased credits don’t expire; if your allowance and balance run out, messages stop sending.[6]
Fresha add-ons: which features cost extra?
These are additional charges, rather than higher subscription tiers.[1] If you want a loyalty program, advanced reporting, and a website, add those costs to the plan you’re comparing. For three bookable team members, Insights alone adds $29.85 per month.
Basic booking links are included, while Smart Website is a paid add-on. You also get client management, POS, and inventory tools in the core plans. Team includes pay runs and wage tools, but those features alone don’t establish that you can replace a payroll service that files taxes or handles compliance.
Fresha hardware, onboarding, and migration costs
Fresha lists card terminals from $139 per device. The Team plan also advertises a free terminal subject to processing volumes. That’s a conditional hardware offer, so the free device shouldn’t be assumed for every team.[1]
If you’re moving to Fresha, you can import information such as client details and product inventory. More involved migrations can use paid support packages, but a public package price isn’t listed.[1]

Fresha monthly cost examples
Both examples below assume $10,000 in monthly reader payments across 100 transactions. The marketplace example adds ten qualifying new clients with $100 appointments; those payments are already included in the $10,000 of card sales.
These examples exclude messaging overages, add-ons, hardware, migration, disputes, and tax. The 12-month figure illustrates the recurring cost; it isn’t an annual contract.
Fresha billing, cancellation, and switching costs
Your subscription is charged on the first day of each calendar month. Bookable staff changes take effect in the next billing period.[2]
Fresha advertises no long-term commitment and says you can cancel anytime. Its Partner Terms also require at least 30 days’ written notice to cancel paid services or end the agreement. If you’re leaving, ask Fresha to confirm your final billing date so those two descriptions don’t leave you expecting an earlier end date.[1][4]
Subscription prices can change with 30 days’ written notice.[4]
How do you cancel Fresha?
- Open Settings → Billing → Subscriptions.
- Under your plan, choose Actions → Cancel plan.
- Continue through the prompts and confirm cancellation.
Your workspace and marketplace profile become unavailable at the end of the current billing cycle. Your reviews stop appearing publicly, but they aren’t deleted and can return if you reactivate.[2]
What can you take with you when you leave Fresha?
Export your client list in CSV or Excel before access ends. You can export appointments separately, but saved client card details cannot be exported or transferred.[7]
If your new system charges for migration, add that to any overlap between subscriptions. You may also need clients to save their cards again and update the booking links on your website and social profiles.
Fresha pricing FAQs
Is Fresha still free?
No. Fresha’s current business plans charge a subscription after the trial. Older descriptions of subscription-free Fresha don’t reflect the advertised Independent and Team plans.[1]
Does Fresha offer a free trial or discount code?
Independent and Team both advertise a seven-day trial. Fresha supports subscription discount codes during activation, but a universally available code isn’t advertised on the pricing page.[1][2]
Does Fresha charge for every appointment?
No. Your subscription includes unlimited bookings. A qualifying new marketplace client triggers a one-time acquisition fee; card payments and chargeable messages have their own fees.[1]
Does Fresha charge your clients the 20% fee?
The 20% marketplace acquisition fee is charged to your business. A deposit, cancellation fee, or no-show charge you set for a client is a separate payment policy.[3]
Can you use a different payment processor with Fresha?
You can use Fresha without enabling Fresha Payments. That doesn’t mean another provider’s terminal is integrated with Fresha’s checkout. If you want deposits, saved-card payments, or no-show protection, check the payment setup those tools require.[1]
