FRESHA VS GLOSSGENIUS RUN THE WHOLE SALON FROM ONE PLACE

Comparing fresha vs glossgenius? Fresha runs a booking marketplace and GlossGenius sells a flat monthly app for solo beauty pros, but neither gives you a real website you own that wins new clients. Instinctor is the all-in-one third option: a site that ranks on Google, plus booking and payments, at a one-time $99 to build and $44.80 a month to run. We design it for you, $99.

MORE CLIENTS. MORE MONEY. LESS HASSLE

WHAT FRESHA AND GLOSSGENIUS BOTH MISS
No website you own. Fresha lists you inside its marketplace app, and GlossGenius gives you a simple booking page from its builder. Neither is a real website that ranks on Google and turns local searchers into booked clients. Instinctor is built around that website.
The real cost is hard to read. Fresha starts near $19.95/mo, then adds a 20 percent commission on new marketplace clients plus processing fees and paid add-ons. GlossGenius runs $24/mo to $48/mo, and $148/mo once you grow a team. Instinctor is a one-time $99 to build, then $29.90 a month license and $14.90 a month hosting, everyone included.
They keep you inside their app. Fresha rents your new clients back to you through its marketplace and takes a cut of each one. GlossGenius keeps your booking page locked to their platform. With Instinctor your client list and your site are yours, with no marketplace in the middle.
HEAD TO HEAD

ONE SYSTEM BEATS A BOOKING APP

Fresha runs your bookings through a marketplace, and GlossGenius gives solo pros a flat monthly app with a basic booking page. Neither is the website that wins clients. Here is how all three compare.
