Where Fresha starts to break
What changes with your own branded booking setup
Stop building on marketplaces
Marketplaces help you get discovered — but they keep your clients, your brand, and your repeat bookings inside their platform.
Marketplace
- Clients see platform branding first
- You compete next to other businesses
- Repeat bookings happen inside the marketplace
- You depend on rankings and algorithms
Your branded app
- Clients see your brand only
- No competitors next to you
- Repeat bookings come directly to you
- You control your business and client relationships
