How the comparison is put together
We check every tool against the same criteria that can be verified on the provider's website or in a linked source: permanently free version, commissions and new-client fees, booking without a client account, calendar for multiple staff, resources and processing times, reminders, marketplace, prices in Swiss francs, interface in German, French and Italian, data storage location and monthly cancellation.
What a provider does not state publicly, we do not rate. Such fields appear as a dash — that is not a "no" but "no information". The score counts the criteria met; a limitation counts as half. We do not award star ratings because we have no user surveys of our own; where Capterra or Trustpilot show reviews, we link to them.
Prices and fees have been checked as of September 2026. Providers that are not available in Switzerland (Booksy, Vagaro) or that target chains (Zenoti) have been left out.
Transparency: This comparison portal is published by beautyscout. beautyscout is itself a booking tool for beauty businesses and therefore sits at the top of every list — but the criteria are the same for everyone and verifiable. Prices and fees: as of September 2026, without guarantee; the providers' own information is authoritative. Please report errors or changes to info@beautyscout.ch.
