Booksy is huge with barbers and independent stylists. It charges a base monthly fee plus a per-team-member fee, and its client-finding feature, Boost, takes a significant one-time commission (Booksy has published rates around 30%) on the first visit of each new client it brings. VantaReach never charges for client acquisition and focuses on something Booksy does not: keeping the clients you already have, using AI win-backs, plus running the whole back office.
