The real cost of "free" salon software
Marketplace platforms like Fresha advertise themselves as free. They're not. They take a cut of every new-client booking, at a rate they set and can change. On a busy month that is money leaving the business every single week — work out your own number in the calculator below.

What Trimsy does instead
Built in Australia, for Australian salons, barbers, and beauty businesses.
PROBLEM · commission on every new client
Monthly fee — no commission on any booking
$24.99 or $49.99 per month flat. We don't take a cent of your bookings — ever. Card processing goes through your own Stripe or Square at standard rates.
PROBLEM · Lost in the marketplace
Your own booking page on your subdomain
yoursalon.trimsy.au — branded, indexable in Google, embeddable in your Instagram bio. Not a profile inside someone else's app.
PROBLEM · You don't own your clients
Full client database — yours to export, anytime
Every booking adds the customer to your CRM with phone, email, history, notes, loyalty points. Export to CSV in one click. We never email or market to your customers.
PROBLEM · Walk-ins are chaos
Walk-in queue + tablet kiosk — included
Tablet at the door, customers tap in, ticket numbers, SMS-when-next. Marketplace platforms don't do this — Trimsy was built around it.

Based on marketplace commission rates published by the vendors (checked September 2026) — Fresha's is a one-time fee per brand-new client, so this figure assumes a steady stream of them.

Frequently asked
How is Trimsy 0% commission when other platforms take a cut of every booking?+
Trimsy is a fixed monthly subscription — like Xero or Shopify. You pay $24.99–$49.99/month flat, no matter how many bookings you take. Marketplace platforms like Fresha and Booksy take a percentage of every new-client booking because their business model is selling traffic. We don't — your booking page lives on your own subdomain, and your customers are your customers.
What about card processing fees?+
Trimsy lets you bring your own Stripe Connect or Square Terminal, so you pay your processor's rate directly (1.7–2.2% in Australia). We never touch the money — it goes straight to your bank.
I get a lot of new clients from the Fresha marketplace. Do I lose those?+
No. You can still list on marketplaces while running Trimsy as your main system. Most owners migrate gradually — start by sending repeat clients to your Trimsy booking link, save the commission on those bookings, and reinvest it into ads or local SEO that you own.
Is there a contract or lock-in?+
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We export all your data on request — clients, bookings, history.
How long does it take to set up?+
Most salons are fully live in under 30 minutes. Add services, set hours, connect Stripe or Square, share your booking link. We import client lists from CSV or your previous platform if you have an export.
What happens after the 14-day free trial?+
You pick a plan ($24.99 Essential or $49.99 Growth). No card required to start the trial — we only ask for billing details if you decide to continue.
Do you charge per staff member or per location?+
Not per location, and never a percentage. Staff are counted: Essential includes 1 and Growth includes 3, and an extra seat is $7 a month on either plan. Bookings and customers are unlimited, and multi-location is part of Growth.
Is there phone support?+
Email + chat for all plans. Growth gets priority support during AU business hours. We answer most tickets within a few hours.
