These alternatives package their features differently from SimplyBook.me's custom-feature model. Fresha's AI Concierge answers calls and messages, and several of the others sell AI receptionists too. None pairs that with a cashback marketplace that acquires clients. Daisy replaces the complexity with one platform that also grows the business.

What Makes Daisy Different

Six things Daisy is built around

AI receptionist

Handles bookings, payments, and customer service in Arabic and English around the clock.

Customer acquisition engine

Cashback rewards and AI marketing, plus an optional marketplace in selected countries, working together to fill your calendar.

Branded booking page

A booking page with your logo, name and colours, hosted by Daisy. You can redirect your own domain to it.

Network effects

More businesses on the platform means smarter AI recommendations for everyone.

All-in-one

Booking, payments, CRM, marketing, analytics, inventory, marketplace, and AI in one platform.

Multilingual

Native Arabic and English with full RTL support, built for the GCC market and beyond.

Ready to switch from SimplyBook.me?

Daisy is built for salons that want growth tools, not just a calendar.

Free migration support to get you started
No lock-in contracts, cancel anytime
AI receptionist live from day one
Dedicated onboarding team for a smooth transition

No credit card required. Free 14-day trial included.
