Separate the Booksy subscription from Boost
Booksy publishes a monthly subscription and additional-staff pricing. Its pricing distinguishes normal bookings from optional Boost. With Boost off, Booksy says it does not charge commission for clients attracted through your own efforts. Payment processing is a separate cost. Confirm the country and current plan before using a number from another market.
How optional Boost changes the decision
Booksy describes Boost as an optional acquisition feature with a one-time 30 percent commission on the first qualifying visit; repeat visits are commission-free under that model. Country-specific terms can change. Compare the value of acquired clients with the expense, rather than calling Booksy commission-driven for every existing client and appointment.
Direct website bookings require a traffic plan
Your own website can explain services, display staff and accept appointments under one brand. Keep the booking link consistent across profiles and messages. A website does not itself provide marketplace discovery. Record your current sources of new clients before removing a channel, and measure completed appointments after the change instead of assuming lower acquisition charges mean higher profit.
Check SalonDigi against your actual team
Solo supports one staff member, one branch, one language and 80 monthly appointments. A custom domain and automatic reminders need an eligible paid plan. More staff and additional languages also have plan limits. Review your monthly messaging and campaign needs independently; campaign access follows the first successful paid payment and is not a feature to promise during the trial.
Verify data and future appointments before switching
List upcoming bookings, service durations, team availability and the client records you need to retain. Confirm export and import capabilities with each provider; this guide does not promise a bulk import or a transfer within 24 hours. Create and cancel test appointments before changing public links. Make a clear cutover plan so staff do not have to reconcile conflicting schedules.
Use a side-by-side decision sheet
Compare subscriptions, extra staff, processing, optional acquisition, messages and website requirements using the same workload. Record specialist requirements such as POS, inventory and room allocation separately. If a feature is essential, require a demonstration instead of treating a comparison headline as proof. Keep dated notes so you can reassess your choice as pricing or operations change.

Questions before choosing a booking platform
Does Booksy always charge commission?
No. Booksy distinguishes its subscription and payment processing from optional Boost acquisition charges. Its pricing states there is no commission for clients attracted through your own efforts when Boost is off.
What is the Booksy Boost fee?
The published Boost model charges a one-time 30 percent commission for the first qualifying visit, with country-specific conditions. Check current local terms; repeat visits are treated separately.
Will a SalonDigi website replace Booksy marketplace traffic?
That has not been demonstrated. A direct website needs its own discovery and marketing channels, which you should plan before switching.
Are reminders and unlimited staff included in free Solo?
No. Solo is limited to one staff member, one branch, one language and 80 monthly appointments. Automatic reminders require an eligible paid plan.
Is migration guaranteed within a day?
No. Verify available exports and imports, future bookings and client permissions. Test your actual operation before replacing public booking links.
