DaySync has no per-member fees and no new-client commission: the Free plan is a complete booking system for one person, and Pro is $25 a month — or $250 a year — flat per location, with unlimited team members. Fresha, by contrast, charges per team member ($19.95/mo solo, or $14.95/mo per member for teams, US pricing) plus a one-time 20% commission, minimum $6, on the first visit of each new client who books through its marketplace. If your clients find you through your own Instagram, Google profile or referrals, on DaySync you keep all of it.
Fresha pricing and fees checked against Fresha's published US pricing, June 2026. Their terms can change — always confirm on their site.
Fresha grew up as free booking software, then moved everyone to mandatory subscriptions in 2025. DaySync keeps a real free tier: a complete booking system for a solo operator, no card, no clock.
A first visit booked through Fresha's marketplace costs 20% of that visit, minimum $6 (US) — and reviewers report disputes over who counts as a marketplace client. On DaySync there is no marketplace fee: every booking from your link is simply yours.
At $14.95 per team member, a four-chair floor pays about $60 a month on Fresha before processing fees. DaySync Pro is $25 flat per location whether you are three people or ten.
Take a four-person salon that gains ten new clients in a month, each first visit averaging $80. On DaySync that month costs $25, full stop. On Fresha it costs $59.80 in subscription plus $160 in one-time new-client fees if those ten found you through the marketplace — about $220.
The honest counterpoint: Fresha's marketplace can be where those ten clients came from, and if marketplace discovery genuinely drives your growth, the commission buys something real. But if your chair fills from your own Instagram, your Google profile and word of mouth — as it does for most independent businesses — you are paying marketplace economics for clients you brought yourself.
If most of your new clients genuinely arrive through marketplace search, that commission buys distribution — and Fresha remains a fair choice.
