A Booksy Alternative for Beauty & Wellness Businesses
Booksy is a marketplace. Clickobook is your own booking platform — with AI-generated booking & quoting forms, flat pricing, 0% commission and per-staff time slots. Own your brand, your data and your clients.
Why beauty & wellness businesses outgrow Booksy
Booksy is a marketplace that charges for discovery. Growing businesses want to be their own destination.
Paying per person + commission
$29.99/month + $20 per extra staff + 2.5-2.7% on payments + 30% Boost fee. Your bill grows with every hire and every card payment.
Your brand, not a listing
On Booksy your business is a profile in their marketplace. A custom domain with your own branding turns your booking page into your storefront — not a listing inside someone else\'s app.
Standard staff scheduling
Every staff member gets the same appointment duration. Service businesses with different skill levels need per-staff time slots so juniors and seniors can each work at their own pace.

Capabilities Booksy does not offer
Three things genuinely set ClickoBook apart for beauty & wellness businesses.
AI-generated booking & quoting forms
Describe a service in plain language. The AI builds the intake questions, options and dynamic pricing — and publishes them as a working form for your customers to book or get a live quote.
See the AI form generatorSmart auto-rescheduling & credit fallback
Recurring bookings generate the next session automatically. If a future slot becomes occupied, ClickoBook tries to reschedule on the same staff — and if there is no room, issues a credit so the value is never lost.
Per-service AND per-staff time slots
Give every team member their own time overhead for the same service, with buffers and breaks — instead of generic fixed-duration slots.
What switching from Booksy felt like
Real-world feedback from beauty & wellness businesses that made the change.
"We were on Booksy for two years. The breaking point was the commission — between the per-staff fee and the payment processing markup, we were paying hundreds a month. ClickoBook's flat pricing cut our software bill in half, and the AI quote forms brought in more clients than Booksy's marketplace ever did."
Elena V.
Beauty salon & spa, Barcelona
"I loved that Booksy brought me walk-in clients from the marketplace. But I realised I was paying for every single new booking 'discovery' while my regulars kept coming back. With ClickoBook I put that money into my own website and ads — and I own the client relationship, not Booksy."
Amir K.
Barbershop owner, Dubai
"The tipping point was per-staff time slots. In my nail studio, some artists work fast, some take their time. Booksy gave everyone the same slot. ClickoBook lets me set individual timing — and the AI form for our nail art consultations is pure magic."
Sakura T.
Nail art studio, Tokyo

Booksy is a popular beauty & wellness marketplace, but many businesses outgrow its model. You pay $29.99/month plus $20/month per extra staff, take 2.5-2.7% on every card payment, and when you turn on Boost marketing you pay 30% of the first visit. Plus, your business lives inside Booksy's marketplace — customers find you there, not on your own site. Businesses wanting to own their brand, their client data and their pricing often look for a platform where they are the destination, not a listing.
ClickoBook uses flat per-business pricing — not per person. A salon with 5 staff pays $59/month on Pro (10 staff included), not $29.99 + 4×$20 = $109.99 like Booksy. We also take 0% commission on payments — you only pay your own Stripe/PayPal processor fees (typical 2.2-2.9%), no Booksy markup on top. For most small and mid-sized beauty teams this works out significantly cheaper.
No — and that is a deliberate choice. ClickoBook is not a marketplace. You get your own booking page on your own custom domain, not a listing inside a directory. You own your client relationships, your data, and your brand. When you want customers to find you, you share your link, embed the widget on your own website, or connect via Google and social channels — without paying 30% commission on new clients.
Yes — it is our signature feature. Describe a service in plain language and the AI builds a complete booking or quoting form with intake questions, dynamic pricing and conditional logic. Booksy has custom forms and liability waivers, but not AI-generated booking and quoting forms built from a text description.
Yes. Deposits and partial payment with a full-payment discount, recurring appointments with smart auto-reschedule and credit fallback, packages and subscriptions via Stripe and PayPal — all included. Booksy offers memberships and packages too, but ClickoBook's auto-reschedule with credit fallback is unique.
Yes. On the relevant plans you can bring your custom domain and can remove the platform branding (white-label), so your booking experience looks like your own business — not a marketplace listing.
Booksy offers a marketplace where customers can discover your business, a built-in POS with card readers, gift cards, email marketing campaigns, text message marketing (2,000 SMS/month included), Boost advertising, Reserve with Google and a customer mobile app. ClickoBook focuses on appointment booking, AI quoting, payments and per-staff scheduling — choose based on whether you need a marketplace discovery engine or a platform where you own the full customer relationship.
