Where Wynkie wins
Never a cut of your bookings
Wynkie charges a flat monthly price and takes 0% commission on your bookings — ever. Fresha takes 20% (min $6) of each new client from its marketplace.
Predictable cost
You know your Wynkie bill before the month starts: free, $14.95/mo, or $29.95/mo. Fresha’s cost rises with your bookings and processing volume.
Built for your own clients
Wynkie is built to run the clients you already have — a booking link you own, reminders, deposits. No marketplace skimming a percentage off the top.
Switching from Fresha takes minutes
Export your clients from Fresha as a CSV and import them into Wynkie in a couple of taps. Because Essentials is free, you can set Wynkie up and run it alongside Fresha before you switch for good.
Free. No card. No expiration.
Wynkie vs Fresha — common questions
Is Fresha really free?
Fresha’s booking software is free to use, but it monetizes by charging a 20% commission (minimum $6) on new clients who book you through the Fresha marketplace, plus payment processing fees. Wynkie’s free Essentials plan takes no commission on any of your bookings.
Does Wynkie charge a commission like Fresha?
No. Wynkie never takes a percentage of your bookings. You pay a flat price — free Essentials, $14.95/mo Plus, or $29.95/mo Pro — and keep what you charge (minus only standard card-processing fees you’d pay with any processor).
Is it hard to switch?
No. Export your client list as a CSV from your current app and import it into Wynkie in a couple of taps. Your booking link, services, and hours take a few minutes to set up — most pros are live the same day. Wynkie’s free Essentials plan means you can set it up and run alongside your current app before you commit.
