FARSET vs LABÉAU

FARSET provides booking and management software for salons, barbers, and beauty businesses. Clients can book through a branded page at any time, and businesses can add a booking widget to a website. Staff calendars, service assignments, client profiles, and client history help organize day-to-day work. FARSET also lists gift cards, memberships, loyalty rewards, marketing tools, and a POS and shop. For payments, it connects to the business’s own Stripe account for deposits or full payments and says it charges no booking commission. Its widget can be embedded on WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify sites. The dashboard is responsive for phone use without an app download, and FARSET also mentions an Android app. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card, and cancellation is available at any time. The Free plan is free and allows 20 confirmed bookings per month. Pro costs £15 a month, billed monthly, for unlimited bookings. FARSET Shop is an optional add-on listed at £5 a month.
