The Booksy alternative built for barbershops and salons
Booksy costs €34.99/month and charges an extra €8 for each additional employee. Switch Boost on and it also takes 30% of the first visit of clients its marketplace sends you. trimly is a flat fee from €0/month, with no commissions, and everyone uses it in their own language: each team member picks the language of their dashboard and your clients book in theirs.

trimly is your business's whole system — your own website with your own domain, booking, till, deposits and VeriFactu — and it's built only for appointment-based businesses: barbershops, hair salons, nail studios and beauty studios. And everyone uses it in their own language: each team member picks the language of their dashboard and your clients book in theirs, in up to 11 languages.
* Taken from each platform's own website — the Spanish one where it exists — and quoted as they state it: excluding VAT, like trimly's fee. These change without notice, so always check the source and the date.
Booksy prices per their own website, read on August 12, 2026 from a connection in Spain.
None of the four builds your business a website: Booksy, Fresha and Treatwell give you a profile on their marketplace plus a booking widget for a site you already have, and Altegio a widget plus a booking page. With trimly the website is the product.
Booksy pushes booking into its app. Fresha and Treatwell require an account on their platform. With trimly your client books from their phone browser, with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
Whose client is it?
Booksy charges 30% of a Boost client's first visit, but its Spanish pricing page nowhere explains when a client counts as a Boost client. Salon owners outside Spain report the same thing over and over: someone who already knew the shop installs the app, searches for it by name, books — and that visit is billed as a marketplace acquisition. With trimly there is no marketplace to attribute anything to. Equally, nobody brings you clients: that part is yours.
