Subscription, plus commission, plus fees.
On top of the per-seat subscription, per its published terms at the time of checking Fresha may charge a new-client fee on every client who finds you through its marketplace/Boost (up to ~20%*; check the current terms before you choose), and card payments go through Fresha Pay (often a ~$499 USD terminal, per Fresha*). And here's the catch: the more new clients the marketplace sends, the more you pay — the bill grows in your best months. Mountify is one flat price, no commission on your clients, with your own Stripe. Stripe is free to connect and takes a few minutes — card payments land straight with you.
Figures are illustrative — Fresha's total varies with volume, add-ons and visibility. Mountify's line is its full list price.

A client record behind the calendar
Every booking lands in a record with history, notes and rebooking. The others are calendars or marketplaces; Mountify keeps the client with you.
Built for Bulgaria, in two languages
Bulgarian by default, English per user, local date, time and currency formats — not an afterthought translation.
Your money, your clients
Take payments and deposits through your own Stripe account. No commission on new clients, no forced wallet — and the client stays yours.
Switching from Fresha.
Do you charge commission like Fresha's marketplace fee?
No. Mountify is a flat monthly price by bookable spots. Mountify is built not as a marketplace but as the salon's own booking channel, so there's nothing to take a cut of — a new client costs you nothing extra, ever.
Can I keep my own card processor?
Yes — Mountify connects to your Stripe account and takes deposits straight to you. Stripe is free to connect and takes a few minutes. Fresha requires Fresha Pay, often with a ~$499 USD terminal (per Fresha*).
Can I migrate my clients from Fresha?
Yes. Export the list and import it with column mapping — built in and free on every plan, usually an afternoon's work, and it stays yours, not the platform's. If you'd rather not deal with it, we take the whole setup off your hands for €99 one-off.
Who should still pick Fresha?
Fresha is a mature marketplace for the first touch — discovery or a built-in retail till. But once the clients are in, run them in Mountify: commission-free, with your own payments, in a record that keeps the client with you. If you already get clients from a marketplace, Mountify takes the next step: your own page, a client record, deposits and repeat bookings — directly with you.
Will I lose my clients when I switch?
No. Your clients and their history stay yours — you export them and import them into Mountify, usually in an afternoon. That's the whole point: the client lives in your record, not on someone else's platform.
Do I need a Stripe account?
For online payments and deposits — yes, but connecting is free and takes a few minutes, we walk you through it step by step, and card payments land straight with you. You can also start without payments and turn them on later.
Can Mountify help with setup?
Yes, in two ways. Free: ask us in the chat or at [email protected], and importing your client base is built in and free on every plan — you upload the file yourself in a few minutes. Paid: we set the whole board up for you — services, team, schedule, branding, payments and your client base — for €99 one-off (excl. VAT), ready in 3 working days. All of it in Bulgarian.
Who is Mountify not a fit for?
If your only goal is to be found inside someone else's consumer marketplace and you don't need your own page, a record or direct payments — then the marketplace itself may be enough for you. Mountify is for those who want to own the client relationship.
What happens to clients who come from Instagram or Google?
They go straight to your Mountify booking page — they book, pay a deposit and enter your record. The traffic you earn yourself stays 100% yours, commission-free.
