Fresha's public pricing page returned US dollars on 12/10/2026 even on the en-GB URL, so those cells stay in USD. Booksy prices exclude VAT. Appointful plan prices are shown as published here; whether they include VAT is still to be confirmed. Recheck vendor pages before you decide.

Pricing questions

How does the free trial work?

You get 30 days to set up your services, staff and booking page. No card is required to start. When the trial ends, choose a plan to keep the dashboard.

Can I cancel?

Yes. There is no contract. Cancel from the billing page and the subscription stops at the end of the period you have paid for.

What do text reminders cost?

Email reminders are included. SMS is billed separately, currently about 3p per text. That rate can change, so check it in your account before you rely on a monthly SMS budget.

What happens when I add staff?

Solo covers 1 staff member, Team up to 3, and Business up to 6. From 7 staff, it is £10 per extra staff member each month. Adding someone mid-month is adjusted on your subscription.

Can I switch from Fresha, Booksy or another system?

Yes. Email support@appointful.co.uk with an export of your clients and upcoming bookings, plus the date you want to switch. We will help you move. There is no self-serve import button in the product yet.
