The self-hosted Fresha alternative
Slotly — Self-hosted appointment booking engineered so it can't double-book. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Fresha every month.
Fresha Independent €11.95 per month; Team €7.95 per team member monthly; Enterprise custom; card processing 1.29% + €0.20 per transaction; a one-time fee on brand-new clients who arrive via the Fresha marketplace (amount not on the pricing table) Slotly is $99.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
How Fresha pricing grows with you
Fresha meters by TEAM MEMBER per month, then by PROCESSING on every payment, then a fee per new marketplace client.

What Fresha does that we don't
Fresha is a marketplace as well as a booking tool — clients discover salons inside its app — with integrated payments and terminals.

Who should stay with Fresha
Stay with Fresha if marketplace discovery and integrated card payments matter more than the monthly fee — for a salon that wants new walk-ins from the app, its model is a fair deal. Slotly is booking on your own site and server; nobody discovers you through it. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Fresha
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Fresha's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Slotly vs Fresha comparison.
