Join 500+ barbers on the waitlist
Everything Booksy charges $30+/mo for — booking, scheduling, reminders, your branded page — is free on SmartFront. And your page says your name, not theirs.

You deserve better
There's the subscription fee. Then there's the part nobody talks about: Booksy puts your clients one tap away from booking a competitor. Your booking page is their marketplace. You're paying them to advertise against you.

Keep your hard-earned money
Both platforms charge similar payment processing fees (~2.5–2.7% per transaction). The savings above reflect the subscription and commission costs you eliminate.
Pricing sourced from booksy.com/biz/en-us/pricing (verified Feb 2026). Booksy subscription: $29.99/mo + $20/mo per additional staff. Boost: 30% commission on new client's first visit — optional, marketplace-sourced clients only. SmartFront Foundation (booking, scheduling, reminders, branded page) is free — not a trial. Payment processing is separate on both platforms at comparable rates. AI agents are a premium upgrade.
We don't believe in charging you for tools you need just to exist. Your client list, your calendar, and your booking page are basic infrastructure. You shouldn't pay rent for the keys to your own shop.
We make money when you scale. Our premium AI Business Agents handle the things that actually steal your time: filling late cancellations, following up with first-timers, and automating your inventory.
Native calendar that never overlaps and respects your breaks automatically.
Zero SmartFront branding on your client interface. It’s your shop, not a marketplace.
Full history, notes, and preferences for every client. Data you can export any time.
Automated reminders cut no-shows by 40%. When someone cancels, your AI booking agent fills the slot from your waitlist.
The difference between a landlord and a partner.

SmartFront doesn't have a marketplace yet. If you rely on Booksy to find new clients, keep it until you don't need it.
Booksy sells you features. SmartFront connects them.
No forms. No settings pages. Talk to the AI and it sets everything up — your hours, services, staff, and booking link.
Booksy app → Settings → Export Data → Download CSV. Takes 2 mins.
No forms, no settings pages. Just tell the AI your hours, services, and prices — or give it your downloaded CSV. It sets everything up.
Your storefront is live at your-shop.barber.smartfront.ai or your own domain. Drop it in your IG bio or Linktree.
The agent gives you a message to text or DM your regulars. Most barbers are fully switched in under 24 hours.
Not the right fit yet if:
You're a new barber building your first client base. Booksy's marketplace is genuinely good at connecting you with new clients in your area — that's what it was built for. Use it for discovery, build your loyal base, then switch when your clients come to you directly.
The frustration
Yes. Every Booksy business page includes a “Similar businesses” section. Your clients are one tap from booking someone else — on the page you’re paying for.
More than you think. Use our calculator above — most solo barbers pay $500–$1,500/year when you add subscription + payment processing. Shops with 2–3 staff easily hit $2,000+.
With Booksy Boost, 30% of the first visit goes back to Booksy — that’s $13.50 on a $45 cut. SmartFront takes zero commission. Your $45 stays your $45.
The switch
No. Keep Booksy running while you try SmartFront. Switch fully when you’re ready. No pressure, no deadline.
Send them your new link. Most barbers text their regulars directly — the AI gives you a message ready to send. Your regulars follow you, not the platform.
About 5 minutes. Export your client list as CSV from Booksy (Settings → Export Data), talk to the migration AI, and you’re live — names, phone numbers, visit history all come with you.
The details
The foundation is free — booking, scheduling, reminders, your branded page. No trial, no bait-and-switch. AI agents that automate your operations are the premium upgrade.
Online booking, client management, automated reminders, your own branded page at yourshop.barber.smartfront.ai or your own domain. Everything Booksy charges $30+/mo for.
Yes. You get yourshop.barber.smartfront.ai immediately. You can also connect your own custom domain anytime.
No dashboards. No settings pages. You talk to an AI that sets everything up — just tell it your hours, services, and prices. If you can text, you can set up SmartFront.
Your client data is encrypted, never shared, and never used to promote competitors. Unlike marketplace platforms, we have zero incentive to share your clients with anyone.
Yes. Your storefront lives at your own domain (or yourshop.barber.smartfront.ai), which Google indexes independently. Unlike a Booksy profile buried inside their marketplace, your page ranks for your name, your neighborhood, and your services.
Keep Booksy running while you try. Switch fully when you're ready.
