"Free" until they take 20% of your new clients
Fresha advertises as free, but charges $9.95 per staff member, 20% commission on marketplace new clients (even if they found you on Instagram), mandatory hardware fees, and blast marketing charges. Nothing about it is actually free.

Frequently asked questions
Is Fresha really free?
No. Fresha charges $9.95 per staff member, takes 20% commission on clients who book through their marketplace (even if those clients already knew you), charges for SMS marketing, and requires you to buy their hardware. THROWNE's Starter plan is genuinely free.
I got clients through Fresha's marketplace. Will I lose them?
Those clients are YOUR clients. Export their contact info, import into THROWNE, and send them your new booking link. They follow you, not the platform.
Will I lose my clients if I switch?
No. You export your client list from your current app, import it into THROWNE, and send a quick announcement text to let them know your new booking link. Most stylists complete the switch in under a day.
Can I run both apps during the transition?
Yes. Keep your old app for existing booked appointments. Send new clients to THROWNE. Within 2-4 weeks, all your clients will have naturally migrated.
What if I have upcoming appointments on my old app?
Honor them there. New bookings go through THROWNE. As old appointments complete, your schedule naturally transitions. No lost revenue.
Is THROWNE really free?
The Starter plan is always free — up to 5 services, 25 clients, 25 bookings/month. No trial, no credit card. Pro is $24/month for unlimited everything, or $199/year (save $89).
