Why switch
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fresha attracts beauty businesses with a free booking platform — but the real cost is hidden in marketplace commissions and the fact that you don't truly own your client relationships. OneBookPlus takes a fundamentally different approach: you get bookings, CRM, invoicing, accounting, and marketing in one platform with zero commission on any booking, ever. Your clients book through your brand, not a marketplace, and every dollar of revenue stays in your pocket.
Beyond bookings, OneBookPlus handles the business side of running a salon or clinic — GST-compliant invoicing for corporate accounts, expense tracking for product purchases, P&L reports so you actually know your margins, and email campaigns to keep clients coming back. It's the business platform Fresha never built.
CRM & email marketing: Build a real client database with visit history, preferences, and spending patterns. Segment clients by service type, visit frequency, or spend level, then send targeted email campaigns — birthday offers, re-engagement sequences for lapsed clients, new service announcements. Fresha doesn't give you this level of client intelligence or direct marketing capability.
GST invoicing & quoting: Send professional, GST-compliant invoices for corporate bookings, gift vouchers, or wholesale product orders. Create quotes for event styling, wedding packages, or multi-session treatments with one-click client acceptance. Fresha's POS handles walk-in transactions, but it doesn't support formal invoicing or quoting workflows.
Full accounting with BAS: Track every dollar in and out without opening Xero. OneBookPlus includes profit and loss reports, expense categorisation, bank feed reconciliation, and ATO-ready BAS summaries. For a salon owner, this means knowing your actual profit margin per service — not just what the POS says you took in.
OneBookPlus is the right move if you're tired of paying 20% commission on marketplace bookings and want to own your client relationships directly. It's also ideal if you're currently running Fresha plus Xero for accounting and want to consolidate, or if you need proper GST invoicing for corporate clients that Fresha can't handle. Salons, barbers, beauty clinics, day spas, and wellness practitioners who want a complete business platform — not just a booking tool — will get the most value from switching.
Create your free OneBookPlus account and set up your services, pricing, and team availability. Publish your branded online booking page and share the link with existing clients. Import your client list, connect your bank feed, and configure your Google review request automation. Within an afternoon, you'll have bookings, invoicing, CRM, and accounting running from one platform — with zero commission on every booking.
