BOOKSY ALTERNATIVE

Leaving Booksy?
Keep the bookings, drop the subscription.

Barbers usually search for a Booksy alternative for one of three reasons: the monthly cost against a quiet calendar, being one listing among many, or wanting the client list to be plainly theirs. Here is how MyBarb answers each, and what you give up.

The three differences

What actually changes

Price. Booksy charges a monthly subscription per staff member. MyBarb is free forever for a solo barber, and paid only when you add staff, from €9.90 a month for the whole shop. Commission is 0% on every MyBarb plan.

Your page instead of a listing. On a marketplace your shop sits in a list next to competitors, sorted by an algorithm. On MyBarb you get mybarb.com/your-name: your own page, your services, your prices, no competitor one thumb-scroll away.

Your clients. Every client who books through your MyBarb page lands in your own list, visible with full name and number, exportable any day. Clients belong to the shop that cut their hair.

What Booksy does better

The honest column

Booksy has a consumer marketplace where people browse for a barber, and that reach is real, especially in big cities where clients already use the app. If a meaningful share of your new clients find you inside Booksy search, that is worth paying for and you should stay.

If instead your bookings come from Instagram, WhatsApp, walk-ins and referrals, you are paying a marketplace fee for a marketplace you do not use. That is the barber MyBarb is built for.

Switching

One afternoon, not a project

1. Open your shop on MyBarb, free, no card. Your services and hours are set up in a few minutes.

2. Put your new link in your Instagram bio and WhatsApp status, the two places your clients already look. From the next client message onward, send the link instead of typing times back and forth.

3. Keep Booksy running until the calendar has visibly moved. Nothing forces a hard cut-over: the shops that switch most smoothly run both for two or three weeks and then stop paying for the one they no longer need.

Questions

Asked before switching.

For a solo barber, yes: free forever, 0% commission, no card to sign up. For shops with staff, MyBarb has paid plans from €9.90 a month for the whole shop. Check both pricing pages and do the arithmetic for your own chair count.
Booksy provides your client data through its business tools and support. Export it before you cancel, then keep it wherever you like. On MyBarb your list is always visible in the app and stays yours.
No, because nothing requires you to switch off Booksy on day one. Open MyBarb alongside it, move your link in bio and status, and let the calendar tell you when the old subscription has become unnecessary.
No, and that is the honest trade-off. MyBarb gives you your own page instead of a listing in a crowd. If marketplace discovery is your main client source, Booksy earns its fee. If your clients come through Instagram and WhatsApp, you do not need one.
