Your Salon's Website, Not a Marketplace Listing

On Booksy, clients book through Booksy's app, where your profile sits next to other pros. With SalonDigi, clients book on your own website (yourname.salondigi.com, or your own domain on Starter), designed around your salon.

No Boost Math

Boost is optional, but while it's on, every brand-new client who books through it costs 30% of their first visit, up to $100. Ten new clients at $80 is $240 in one month. SalonDigi takes no commission on any booking. Try your own numbers in our booking app fee calculator.

When Booksy May Fit Better

If most of your new clients come from the Booksy marketplace, or you need built-in card payments and deposits, Booksy does things SalonDigi doesn't do today. SalonDigi fits best when clients already find you on Instagram, Google or by word of mouth.


Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on where your clients come from. If they find you through Instagram, Google or referrals, a booking website with no commission, like SalonDigi, keeps that revenue with you. SalonDigi's Solo plan is free for one person (up to 80 appointments a month), and Starter is $39/mo for up to 10 staff with unlimited appointments.

Only through Boost. Booksy says it charges no commission on clients who find you through your own link or marketing, or on Booksy when Boost is off. With Boost on, it charges a one-time 30% of a new client's first visit, up to $100 (Booksy pricing page, checked November 2026).

Booksy lists $29.99 per month plus tax for the first user and $20 per month for each additional team member, with a 14-day free trial. Card processing is charged separately.

Yes. Sign up, add your services and team during setup, and your booking website goes live. SalonDigi doesn't import data from Booksy automatically, so share your new booking link with your existing clients.

Not today. Clients pay at your salon with the payment method you already use, and SalonDigi takes no cut of your revenue.
