Your own app. Not a theCut listing.
theCut is a marketplace: clients find you next to every other barber, and free accounts pay $10 per new client. Barbercita gives your shop its own app and booking page.
Barbercita is barbershop booking and management software: online booking, every barber's calendar, payments, no-show fees, walk-ins, memberships, booth rent and your shop's own iPhone and Android app. $35 a month for any number of barbers and locations. Month to month. See what $35 gets you.
"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.
You're one listing out of many
theCut's app is a marketplace where clients browse barbers. Barbercita gives your shop its own app and booking link, so clients book you, not the barber down the street.
New clients cost $10 on the free plan
theCut lists client discovery at $10 per new client on Free; PRO ($25 a month per barber) includes it. Barbercita never charges for new clients.
Shop tools
We couldn't find a walk-in kiosk, waitlist, memberships or a product store on theCut's pages. All four are in Barbercita's $35 plan.
One bill for the shop
On theCut, each barber chooses Free or PRO on their own account. Barbercita is one $35 bill for every barber and location.
