Booksy does not take commission on your bookings, so this is not that argument. It charges a subscription that grows with the number of team members who need access, and it includes a listing on its marketplace. Webkio charges one flat plan, gives you your own website, and has no marketplace at all. Which of those is the better buy depends almost entirely on two numbers: how many chairs you have, and how many of your clients already know your name.
The verdict
Run both if the marketplace is working for you, because it does a job your own site cannot. The case for Webkio is the chair count and the rest of the business: one flat plan, your own address, and a shop on the same site if you sell product. If you are one chair and the marketplace fills it, Booksy is the simpler buy and we would rather say so.
What each one costs
The shapes differ in one way that matters as you grow. Booksy is a base monthly fee for the first user plus a further fee for every additional team member who needs access, with all features and the marketplace listing included; the rates differ by country and have changed, so read their pricing page rather than a number from us. Card processing is separate, as it is everywhere. Webkio is a flat plan that includes bookable staff up to a cap - five on Starter, fifty on Growth Business, uncapped on Agency - plus a 2% platform fee per online payment on Starter and 1% from Growth Business up, on top of your own processor. So a solo barber will usually find the per-user model perfectly cheap, and a five or six chair salon is where a flat plan starts to win. If you have ten chairs, price both properly, because our Starter cap stops at five and theirs just keeps adding.
What moving involves
Keep the Booksy listing if it is bringing you new clients, and build your own site underneath it for the ones who already know you. The move that actually matters is not the software, it is getting your own address onto the things a regular already looks at: the appointment card, the confirmation message, your Google Business profile, the window. Export your client list before you need it rather than after.
When to choose them instead
Two things, and the first is the one we cannot match. Booksy has a marketplace: people browse it looking for a barber or a salon near them, and a listing is included in the subscription rather than charged per booking. That is discovery, and nobody browses Webkio looking for a haircut. The second is that it is salon software first - the client history, the rebooking prompts, the no-show handling are all built around a chair and a stylist, and it shows.
