Why switch
Why beauty businesses are switching from Fresha to OneBookPlus
No commission — ever
Fresha charges 20% commission on marketplace bookings. The more clients you get through their platform, the more you pay. OneBookPlus has zero commission on any booking. You keep 100% of your revenue, no matter how clients find you.
Own your client relationships
On Fresha, clients book through their marketplace — not your brand. If you leave Fresha, those marketplace clients stay on Fresha. OneBookPlus gives you your own booking page, full CRM, and email marketing so you own every client relationship directly.
Built-in accounting & GST/BAS
Fresha has no accounting, invoicing, or Australian tax features. Most beauty businesses using Fresha also pay for Xero or MYOB. OneBookPlus includes full accounting with P&L reports, GST calculation, expense tracking, and ATO-ready BAS summaries — no extra software.
Invoicing & quoting included
Fresha focuses on POS transactions, not formal invoicing. OneBookPlus includes GST-compliant invoicing with professional templates, plus quoting with one-click client acceptance. Essential for businesses that invoice corporate clients or need proper tax documentation.
Built for Australian businesses
Fresha is a global platform that isn't optimised for Australian tax requirements. OneBookPlus is purpose-built for Australian service businesses — with proper GST handling, ATO-compliant BAS summaries, and Australian payment processing. No workarounds needed.
FAQ
OneBookPlus vs Fresha — your questions answered
Is OneBookPlus a good alternative to Fresha for Australian beauty businesses?
Yes. OneBookPlus offers online bookings, client records, automated reminders, and payment processing — the core features beauty businesses use Fresha for. But OneBookPlus also includes GST invoicing, full accounting, P&L reports, BAS summaries, email marketing, and CRM that Fresha doesn't offer. And crucially, OneBookPlus never takes a commission on your bookings.
How does Fresha's commission model compare to OneBookPlus pricing?
Fresha's core software is free, but they charge 20% commission on new clients booked through their marketplace. They also charge for optional add-ons like automated marketing. These commissions can add up to hundreds per month as your marketplace bookings grow. OneBookPlus has no commission model at all — you keep 100% of every booking. The free plan includes everything, and paid plans are a flat predictable rate.
Does OneBookPlus have the same booking features as Fresha?
Yes. OneBookPlus includes an online booking page, automated appointment reminders, client records, and payment processing — the core booking features you need. What Fresha offers that OneBookPlus doesn't is a marketplace where new clients discover your business. However, OneBookPlus includes email marketing and Google review requests to help you attract clients through your own channels, without paying marketplace commissions.
Can OneBookPlus handle accounting and GST for my beauty business?
Absolutely — and this is a major advantage over Fresha. OneBookPlus includes full accounting with profit and loss reports, expense tracking, GST calculation, and ATO-ready BAS summaries. Fresha has no accounting or GST/BAS features, so most Australian beauty businesses need separate accounting software. OneBookPlus gives you everything in one platform.
What does OneBookPlus offer that Fresha doesn't?
OneBookPlus includes several features Fresha lacks: GST-compliant invoicing, quoting, full CRM and contact management, email marketing campaigns, accounting with P&L reports, BAS/ATO tax summaries, expense tracking, Google Calendar sync, Google review requests, and job management. Plus, OneBookPlus never charges commission on bookings — you own your client relationships entirely.
