In their own words
Fresha
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.
