The Booksy alternative built for barbershops
Booksy costs €34.99/month and charges an extra €8 for each additional barber. 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 the only one with a native interface in Spain's co-official languages.

trimly is a barbershop's whole system — your own website with your own domain, booking, till, deposits and VeriFactu — and it's built for barbershops and beauty salons only. It's also the only one with a native interface in Spain's co-official languages (Catalan, Galician, Basque).

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.
