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 card payments, and share your link. Most businesses are live in under 15 minutes.

Common questions
Answers about booking, payments, and getting started with Nextro.
What's the difference between Booksy and Nextro?
Booksy is a marketplace app — customers discover businesses through Booksy's platform, which lists you alongside nearby competitors. Nextro gives you your own independent booking website at nextroapp.com/book/yourname. Customers who visit only see your business — no competitor listings, no price comparisons alongside you.
How much does Booksy cost per month in the UK?
Booksy's UK pricing varies by plan and business type — typically starting around £14.99/month and rising to higher tiers for more features. Nextro is a flat £29/month for solo businesses regardless of booking volume, with no per-booking fees added on top.
Does Booksy charge commission on bookings?
Booksy's primary model is subscription-based rather than commission-based, but the subscription cost rises with tier and the marketplace listing means your clients can easily find and book competitors at their next appointment. Nextro has zero commission on bookings — ever.
Is there a Booksy alternative for UK barbers?
Yes — Nextro. Barbers on Nextro get an independent booking page at their own URL, take upfront card payments, and pay £29/month flat. There's no marketplace listing. Clients who book through your link see only your shop — no competitor barbershops can appear alongside you.
Is there a Booksy alternative without a marketplace?
Yes — Nextro. Unlike Booksy, Nextro doesn't operate a discovery marketplace. You get your own booking website URL. Clients bookmark it, share it, and return to it directly — they're never shown other businesses when they visit your page.
Can nail technicians use Nextro instead of Booksy?
Yes. Nextro is used by nail technicians for gel, BIAB, acrylics, nail art, and infill appointments. Clients choose a service, pick a time, and pay a deposit or full amount upfront. Your booking link is yours — not a Booksy URL.
Does Booksy own my client relationships?
When clients discover and book you through Booksy's marketplace, their relationship is partly with Booksy's platform — they can easily return to Booksy to find another practitioner. With Nextro, clients book through your direct link and are associated with your business.
How does moving from Booksy to Nextro work?
Create a Nextro account, add your services and availability, connect Stripe for payments, and share your new link. Setup takes around 15 minutes. You can run both in parallel while transitioning clients to your new Nextro link — most practitioners complete the switch within 2–4 weeks.
