Over 12 months, new-client fees alone: Booksy $3,240, Mindbody $2,160, Fresha $2,160. The other vendors in this ledger show no new-client fee on the pages we read.

Not in the ledger (no price, quote only, or a general scheduler): Acuity Scheduling, Setmore, TeamUp, Phorest, Zenoti, Treatwell (UK), Salonized (EU)

  Bars share one scale. Hover a segment for its amount. “from” = entry plan; “3rd-party” = vendor page not read.
