Fresha vs Rosy

Fresha is appointment-booking software available on the web, iOS, and Android. Businesses can provide booking pages for customers, manage appointments in a calendar, and collect payments. Calendar synchronization works one way. Scheduling options include group bookings and round-robin assignment, while automated reminders support appointment communication. Fresha uses a freemium model with a free plan and a 7-day trial. Its listed plans distinguish team size: Independent is for one team member, while Team supports unlimited team members. The maker, Fresha, is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The combination of customer booking pages, scheduling modes, reminders, payment collection, and multi-platform access covers core appointment administration for businesses with different staffing levels.

Rosy is cloud-based salon and spa management software for day-to-day operations. Its scheduler handles appointment booking, client history, personalized reminders, and visits with multiple services. Clients can book or check appointments through a salon website, social media, or mobile web app at any time. Point-of-sale tools cover checkout, cash drawers, transaction management, and integrated card processing. Inventory tracks product sales, returns, and shipments, with alerts for preset low-stock levels. Rosy lists more than 100 reporting options, including accounting and payroll reports, and supports multiple locations. The service works in a browser and has locally installed Android and Apple apps. Subscriptions are month to month with no contract, and hosting requires an internet-connected device rather than an in-salon server. A 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan. The Standard Subscription with RosyPay discount is $29 a month.
