Fresha or Leturi? Bookings by WhatsApp, no commission on new clients
Fresha offers its scheduling software for free, but charges commission on appointments that reach you through its marketplace. Leturi has no marketplace of its own: your customers book through your WhatsApp or your own website, and you never pay commission on any of them.
| Fresha | Leturi | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free base software + commission on marketplace bookings | Flat fee from €19.90/mo (Essential) or €34.90/mo (Pro), based on team size + VAT |
| Commission on new clients | 20% on the first booking of each client acquired through its marketplace | 0%, always — there's no marketplace for that commission to depend on |
| Main booking channel | Its own app and marketplace | WhatsApp with a real conversational assistant, or your own website |
| Widget for your own website | Not the focus: the profile lives inside their marketplace | Included in every plan |
| Sectors | Beauty and wellness (salons, spas) | Hair salons, dog grooming, physiotherapy, veterinary clinics, dental clinics |
| Lock-in | Not specified in their public terms | None, cancel whenever you want |
Example with 10 new clients a month
Assume a €40 service and 10 new clients acquired that month through Fresha's marketplace (€400 billed). If those same 10 people came through your own WhatsApp or website instead of a third-party marketplace, here's the difference:
Fresha
€80/mo
- 20% commission on those 10 first-time appointments
- €960/year just in this commission, not counting the software fee
Leturi
€0 commission
- Those clients are yours from the first message, not the marketplace's
- You only pay the plan fee + the real cost of the WhatsApp messages you use
A marketplace can also bring you clients you wouldn't have reached otherwise — that's real value. The comparison above shows what that same volume of appointments costs once you no longer depend on someone else's directory to get them.
The verdict
If most of your new appointments already find you directly (WhatsApp, Google, word of mouth), paying marketplace commission on them doesn't make much sense. With Leturi, that same volume doesn't cost you commission — just the flat fee of the plan you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Is Fresha really free?
The base scheduling software is, but it charges commission on appointments that reach you from its marketplace, per its own published terms. Leturi has no marketplace of its own, so that commission doesn't exist.
Can I have my own website if I use Fresha?
Fresha focuses on the profile inside its app/marketplace. Leturi includes a widget for your own website (or a template if you don't have one) in every plan, at no extra cost.
Does Leturi have any hidden commission?
No. The only variable line on the invoice is the real cost of WhatsApp messages (if you choose a plan that includes it), billed exactly as Meta charges it plus a 10% management fee — never a percentage of your service price.
