Why businesses switch from Booksy
No marketplace — customers only see your business
Booksy is a discovery marketplace. Customers searching for a barber or nail tech in their area may find you — or they may find a competitor. Nextro is your own booking website at your own URL. Customers who visit see only you.
No per-booking fees
Booksy charges per booking or requires a paid subscription at varying price points. Nextro is a flat £29/month — however many appointments you take, the cost is the same.
Your customer relationships stay yours
On a marketplace, customer loyalty can be to the platform rather than to you. With an independent booking website, your customers are booking you — not discovering you through a third-party app.
Set up in 15 minutes
Create a Nextro account, add your services and availability, connect Stripe, and share your link. Most businesses are live in under 15 minutes.
