"I met with Sq**re reps and got emails from B**ksy and downloaded the C*t to see what the hype was all about and was very disappointed with how generic all the plans were. To get to the good stuff you had to spend 100s a month. If I could go back in time I would've switched over way before opening my own barbershop."

Same booking. Less of the catch.
The bill grows with your team
Booksy is $29.99 a month plus $20 for each extra person. Six barbers is $129.99 a month. Barbercita is $35 for six barbers, or sixty.
New clients can cost you
With Booksy Boost, Booksy lists a fee of 30% of a new client's first visit, up to $100. Barbercita never charges you for new clients.
No app with your name on it
We couldn't find a shop-branded app on Booksy's pages. Every Barbercita shop gets its own app in the App Store and Google Play, included.
Shop tools are thin
We couldn't find booth rent collection, a walk-in kiosk, loyalty or a product store on Booksy's pages. Barbercita has all four in the $35 plan.
