What Booksy is

Booksy is a booking and business management app for beauty and barber professionals, including independent practitioners and salon or barbershop owners. Clients can book at any time through a Booksy profile, Instagram, Google, or the consumer app. To help manage missed appointments, businesses can set cancellation rules, send free SMS reminders, request deposits or cancellation fees, and use an automated waitlist. Payment options include Tap to Pay, a Booksy card reader, and card-on-file payments; next-business-day payouts are listed as free. Subscription features include text and email marketing, rebooking reminders, loyalty stamp cards, packages, gift cards, and automatic review requests. Team tools cover staff schedules, time off, commission and tip tracking, inventory, and access permissions. Booksy lists booking integrations for Google, Instagram, and Facebook.

Its paid plan costs $29.99 per month plus tax, with payment processing and hardware excluded; each additional user costs $20 per month. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is listed.
