Three things Fresha, Booksy, and Vagaro get wrong
Every platform takes a cut. LaunchBook gives you a direct line to your clients.
Every other platform makes you chase payments. LaunchBook uses auth-hold — card is held at booking, captured if they no-show. You never send that awkward text again.

The Money Math
How a single $120 booking stacks up across platforms.
| Fresha | Booksy | Vagaro | LaunchBook | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $19.95 | $29.99 | $30 | $24.99 |
| Per booking | 2.79% + $0.20 + 20% marketplace | 2.69% + $0.30 + 30% Boost | 2.75% | 2.75% flat |
| You keep on a $120 fill | ~$96 | ~$84 | ~$90 | $116.70 |
| 40 bookings/week | ~$3,840 | ~$3,360 | ~$3,600 | $4,668 |
$22+ more per booking. 40 bookings a week = $888 more per month than Fresha.

People who switched from Fresha, Booksy, and Vagaro to their own @handle.
I was paying Fresha $400+ a month in marketplace commissions on new clients. Switched to LaunchBook and my @handle is in my Instagram bio. Same clients, no commission.
Maria TorresNail Tech, San DiegoThe auth-hold is a game changer. I used to lose $100+ a month to no-shows. Now the card is held at booking. I actually get paid.
James ChenBarber, Austin
Set up in one afternoon. Imported my Stripe, uploaded my logo, and I was live at launchbook.app/@diamondcuts. No platform branding. Just my shop.
Darnell WilliamsDog Groomer, AtlantaMy clients love that they don't need to create another account. Two taps and they're booked. The 71% abandonment stat is real — I was losing bookings.
Priya PatelMassage Therapist, Portland
Vagaro was charging me $30/mo plus $10 per extra staff. LaunchBook is $24.99 flat. For a solo operator that adds up to almost $200/year in savings.
Mike O'BrienMobile Detailer, DenverI was skeptical about leaving Booksy because of the marketplace traffic. But 30% of my first visit revenue gone? I'll take my own @handle and keep it all.
