Barberly vs Belliata

Barberly provides barbershops and salons with branded apps, online booking, walk-in queues, payments, team tools, and marketing features. A shop can publish a mobile app on the App Store and Google Play with bookings, waitlists, payments, and loyalty features. Its branded booking website supports a custom domain and can be embedded into an existing site. A tablet can act as a self-check-in kiosk, adding walk-ins to the queue alongside online bookings; the appointment board shows upcoming appointments and the electronic queue. Clients can book from a shop’s Google Search or Maps profile, with separate links for multiple locations. Supported payment providers are Stripe, Square, Revolut, and SumUp; Barberly says it takes no commission on payments. Businesses can require deposits, saved card details, or advance payment, and configure fees for no-shows and late cancellations. Plans include unlimited locations, team members, services, and app users, with no fee per booking. The subscription includes 500 SMS notifications per month; additional messages cost $0.03 each. Pricing starts at $9/mo, and the 30-day trial includes every feature without requiring a credit card.
