The three differences that matter most
Your brand or the platform's
With BoneBook clients see your logo and colours from start to finish and are never shown other businesses. In a marketplace, your business is one listing among many.
Fixed fee or acquisition commission
BoneBook is a fixed monthly fee. Booksy lets you switch on Boost, which according to its website charges a share of the first visit of each new client who finds you through its marketplace.
Focused tool or full suite
BoneBook focuses on making booking effortless and keeping your diary running itself. If you need payments, a POS or marketing tools in the same app, a broader suite may suit you better.
When Booksy might suit you
- You want a platform to send you new clients from your area
- You need payments, retail or a POS in the same app
- You don't mind appearing next to competitors
- You already have lots of reviews on its platform
When BoneBook suits you
- Your clients already know you or find you on Instagram, Google or by word of mouth
- You want a booking app with your brand, not a listing in a marketplace
- You'd rather pay a fixed fee with no commission per client
- You want something simple clients can use without signing up

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Booksy alternative with no commission?+
If you want clients to book in your own app, with your brand, for a fixed fee, BoneBook is a direct alternative: from €29/month including VAT, with no commission per booking or per new client.
Does BoneBook have a marketplace like Booksy?+

Can I use BoneBook and Booksy at the same time?+
Yes, while you're testing. Bear in mind they'd be two separate diaries, so most businesses move all bookings to one once they've decided.
Can BoneBook take deposits or online payments?+

How much does BoneBook cost?+
Starter is €29/month (one professional), Pro €49/month (unlimited team and WhatsApp reminders) and Business €89/month (multiple locations), VAT included, with a 14-day free trial.
