Quick Answer
Booksy is strong on barber/salon discovery but charges per-new-client fees and locks clients inside its app. Beautifyx ships marketplace discovery (via Beautifyx Discover) plus a complete back-office: POS, payroll, P&L, inventory, marketing — and your client list belongs to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
I get a lot of bookings from Booksy's marketplace — what happens if I switch?
Keep your Booksy profile passive for discovery if you want, but run operations on Beautifyx so you stop paying booking fees and own your data.
Does Beautifyx work for barbershops too?
Yes. Barber-specific scheduling, booth rent tracking, and walk-in queue are all built in.
Will I lose new clients without Booksy Boost?
Beautifyx Discover surfaces your salon to nearby clients organically — and you can layer in your own paid marketing without giving up 30% per booking.
