Find Your Alternative

Fresha Alternative

You loved the idea of free salon software — until the hidden fees started adding up.

Booksy Alternative

Great app, but per-provider pricing and limited AI are holding your business back.

Vagaro Alternative

Vagaro manages your business well — but it doesn't help you grow it.

GlossGenius Alternative

Beautiful design and great for solo pros — but what happens when you want to grow?

Mindbody Alternative

An industry giant — but the dated interface, high prices, and marketplace commissions are pushing businesses away.

Boulevard Alternative

Premium design and smart scheduling — but $158-410/mo and no marketplace is hard to justify.

Mangomint Alternative

Beautiful operations tool — but no AI, no marketplace, and no customer acquisition.

Square Appointments Alternative

Great POS, but generic scheduling doesn't cut it for serious beauty businesses.

Phorest Alternative

Excellent CRM and loyalty — but the world has moved to AI, and Phorest hasn't.

Acuity Scheduling Alternative

Great for appointments, but your beauty business needs POS, CRM, AI, and a marketplace too.

Timely Alternative

Clean interface but per-staff pricing and zero AI are holding back growing teams.

Best Alternatives Roundups

Fresha is the world's largest beauty marketplace, but hidden transaction fees, 20% marketplace commissions, and no AI features are pushing businesses to look elsewhere. We've compared the top alternatives based on features, pricing, AI capabilities, and international support.

7 Best Booksy Alternatives in 2026

Booksy is a popular mobile-first booking app, but per-provider pricing gets expensive for teams, Digital Doorman AI is limited to call routing, and there's no GCC support. We've ranked the best alternatives for different business needs.

7 Best GlossGenius Alternatives in 2026

GlossGenius is loved for its design and simplicity, but team features require Platinum ($148/mo), AI is limited to analytics, and there's no marketplace. For growing businesses, here are better options.

7 Best Mindbody Alternatives in 2026

Mindbody dominated wellness software for years, but high prices ($139-699/mo), marketplace commissions, and a dated interface are driving businesses to modern alternatives with AI and transparent pricing.

5 Best Boulevard Alternatives in 2026

Boulevard is a beautifully designed platform, but premium pricing and AI locked behind the Premier tier push businesses to seek better value. Here are the top alternatives.

5 Best Mangomint Alternatives in 2026

Mangomint has the highest Capterra rating (4.9/5), but its premium pricing, no AI, and no marketplace leave room for alternatives that add growth capabilities.

Square Appointments is a solid free scheduling tool with great POS, but it's not built for beauty businesses. These alternatives offer industry-specific features, AI, and marketplace capabilities.
