Booksy pricing and fees compared with Twizzlo

Booksy's reviewed US subscription is USD29.99 per month plus tax, billed month to month, and that price includes one team member. Booksy sells one subscription rather than a feature ladder: its pricing page states that all of its features are included in the core subscription price, with no higher tiers for access to more features and no monthly feature add-on fees.

The number that does not appear in the headline is the second person. Each additional team member is USD20 per month, and Booksy's own page restates the pair as USD29.99 per month plus USD20 per month for each additional team member, plus tax. Read 16 September 2026.

This comparison does not establish Booksy's multi-location billing rule. Obtain a quote for the actual locations and team members; do not multiply a per-user subscription into a location total without those terms.

Booksy's published formula is USD29.99 for the first team member, then USD20 for each additional member. On that basis the subscription is USD49.99 per month at two members, USD69.99 at three, USD109.99 at five and USD209.99 at ten. Every one of those figures is plus tax, because Booksy prices the subscription as "+ tax" and publishes no rate. These are subscription-only figures and exclude acquisition, payment and hardware costs.

Twizzlo Business Pro is $29.99 per month per business at every one of those sizes, because headcount is not in the subscription formula. That difference is a subscription comparison, not a complete bill: messaging use, Stripe processing and the 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee apply on top for Twizzlo, and Booksy's own payment, acquisition and hardware costs apply on top for Booksy.

Booksy's position is that features are not the upsell: one subscription, its advertised core features and unlimited bookings, with no higher tiers and no monthly feature add-on fees.

Booksy includes 2,000 marketing SMS per month; appointment confirmations and reminders are free under the reviewed pricing. Twizzlo's Pro allowance is 50 SMS followed by USD0.03 each. Marketing and appointment messages serve different workflows, so allowance counts alone do not establish equivalent value or cost. Confirm Booksy's marketing overage terms before estimating additional spend.

Four categories sit outside the subscription: additional team members at USD20 each per month, optional Boost acquisition, payment processing, and any card reader you buy. Tax is a fifth; Booksy states only "+ tax" and publishes no rate, so no figure on this page includes it.

Booksy's US payment pages checked September 17, 2026 list these method-specific charges:

Optional Fast Payouts carry a separate 1.5% fee. The US help page also identifies applicable transaction fees on refunds and a USD20 chargeback fee. Confirm the account terms, refund treatment, payout timing and the eligible amount to which each percentage applies before estimating a bill. These observations do not establish how every tax, tip, card type or payment state affects the fee base. Payment charges are separate from the subscription.

Rates read on Booksy payments, and refund and dispute charges on Booksy's payment-cost help article, both checked September 17, 2026.

Booksy Boost is optional. The reviewed official terms charge 30% of a qualifying new client's first visit, with no Boost commission on later visits. The Booksy US Help Center, read on 24 September 2026, sets a $10 minimum and a $100 maximum per first visit. With Boost off, Booksy says there is no commission. If Boost is on, use the official attribution rules for clients acquired through your own profile link. Confirm the fee base and eligibility in the current account terms before estimating a charge. Compare acquisition spending with the value of the clients it actually brings; it is separate from the software subscription.

Boost is buying new clients from a consumer marketplace, which is a service Twizzlo does not provide at any price. Official terms: Booksy Boost.

Booksy's US reader page checked September 17, 2026 displays Stripe Reader M2 at USD53.10 plus shipping and BBPOS WisePOS E at USD219.85 plus shipping. Confirm compatibility, availability, tax, shipping and purchase or return conditions before ordering; this review did not obtain a checkout quote. A one-time reader purchase is separate from subscription and processing charges.

No. Booksy has no permanent free tier. It offers a 14-day free trial, after which its business subscription starts. Confirm trial and account terms on Booksy's pricing page.

Twizzlo draws that line differently: the Free plan never expires, but it caps at 150 bookings a month and sends no SMS. A trial and a permanent free plan are different offers.

This worksheet uses three subscribed team members for twelve months. It is not an observed customer bill. Optional acquisition, hardware and payment costs need their own inputs; a missing amount is not zero. Twizzlo Business Pro's monthly subscription annualizes to USD359.88 before its messaging and payment charges. This is not a complete savings comparison.

Both products advertise USD29.99, but the billing unit underneath differs. Booksy charges USD29.99 plus tax for one team member and USD20 for each member after that. Twizzlo charges $29.99 per business on Business Pro and does not count staff, locations or bookings; unlimited bookings are a Business Pro feature, and the Free plan caps at 150 bookings a month with no SMS.

No headcount, staff or location change increases the Twizzlo subscription. That is a subscription statement, not a statement about the entire bill: Twizzlo payments carry Stripe processing plus the 1.5% platform fee, and messaging beyond 50 SMS is USD0.03 each. On the Booksy side, optional Boost acquisition, payment processing and hardware are separate categories with their own terms.

Booksy is the better choice if these matter most to your shop:

• Booksy runs a consumer marketplace and Twizzlo does not. Boost buys access to that audience; Twizzlo has no equivalent service.
• Booksy includes 2,000 marketing SMS a month, with appointment confirmations and reminders free under the reviewed pricing. Twizzlo Business Pro includes 50 SMS, then USD0.03 each. Marketing and appointment messages are different workflows.
• Booksy sells card readers that work with its own app, at displayed prices checked September 17, 2026. Twizzlo takes payments and tips online through Stripe.
• Booksy publishes method-specific card processing rates; Twizzlo payments run through Stripe, whose charges are set by your Stripe account, plus the 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee.
• Booksy's 14-day free trial includes all of its features, so you can test its marketplace before you pay.
