What to look for

What to look for in salon software

Fees per booking

Monthly prices are only half the story. Fresha takes 20% of the first appointment of every new marketplace client, Treatwell 35%. Work out what that adds up to per year at your average ticket — often more than any subscription.

Booking without a client account

Every mandatory registration costs you bookings. Check on the booking page of a real client whether name, e-mail and phone number are enough — or whether an account with an SMS code is required first.

Processing times and resources

If you colour hair, you need processing times so the chair stays free in between. Beauty and massage need treatment rooms as a resource. General appointment schedulers often can't do this.

Who owns the data?

Client data, appointments and reviews should belong to you and be exportable. Marketplaces show your clients the salons next door too.

Contract and cancellation

Phorest locks you in for 12 to 36 months, Shore has annual contracts, eTermin three months. Monthly cancellation is the standard today — anything else needs a good reason.

Languages and Swiss francs

Your clients book in German, French or Italian. And prices in euros or dollars fluctuate with the exchange rate — look for a price list in CHF.

Methodology

How we compare

We check every tool against the same publicly verifiable criteria: Is there a permanently free version? Are there commissions or new-client fees? Can clients book without an account of their own? Are prices quoted in Swiss francs, is the interface available in German, French and Italian, where is the data stored, and can the contract be cancelled monthly? Every answer links to its source. What a provider does not state publicly, we do not rate — it appears as a dash. The score is the number of criteria met; a limitation counts as half.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about salon software

Which salon software is free in Switzerland?

Permanently free are beautyscout (no limit), MySalon.ch up to ten bookings per month, TIMIFY Classic for one resource, SimplyBook.me up to 50 bookings per month and the MyCOCKPIT Free plan from localsearch. Fresha has discontinued its free plan.

What does salon software cost per month in Switzerland?

The range runs from CHF 0 (beautyscout) via CHF 18.95 (Fresha Solo), CHF 29 (MySalon.ch Pro), CHF 39 (KLARA) and CHF 49 (Treatwell, Salonkee Start) to CHF 69.90 to 139.90 (Shore). Depending on the provider, set-up fees, SMS and commissions come on top.

What is the difference between salon software and a marketplace?

Salon software manages your appointments and clients; a marketplace like Treatwell or Fresha additionally shows your salon in its app and charges a commission on new clients for it. Many providers combine both — then it pays to take a close look at the fees.

Does the software have to store data in Switzerland?

The Swiss Data Protection Act does not require a Swiss server, but it does require adequate protection. Swiss or EU hosting is the simplest option; with US providers you should look for the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

Why is beautyscout at the top?

Because beautyscout publishes this page — we say so openly. The criteria are the same for all tools and each one links to its source, so you can check the ranking yourself.
