Fresha alternative

Leaving Fresha? Keep your bookings. Keep your clients. Keep your brand.

Hacado gives independent beauty businesses their own branded booking website without putting them inside a marketplace. That matters because marketplaces are a huge part of Fresha’s pitch - discovery that also puts “similar nearby” next to you. Hacado’s philosophy is the opposite: your clients belong to you.

Hacado

Website

A full branded site: services, gallery, FAQ, gift cards, your domain.

Fresha

Website

An app listing and booking flow under Fresha’s brand - not an independent website you own.

Hacado

Marketplace

None. Instagram, Google, and word of mouth bring demand. We run the book.

Fresha

Marketplace

Marketplace discovery is the product. New clients arrive beside competitors Fresha also lists.

Hacado

Who owns the client

Your workspace. Your list. Your brand on every reminder.

Fresha

Who owns the client

The next booking lives inside the marketplace dynamic. Clients remember the app as much as you.

Hacado

What you pay for

A plan. No client-directory commission.

Fresha

What you pay for

Platform economics tied to marketplace volume and processing.

When Hacado wins

You already fill the book from Instagram and want the site to match the work.

Fresha

When Fresha still wins

You need the app-store faucet for demand and have no audience of your own yet.

Is Hacado a good Fresha alternative?

Straight answers for people comparing Hacado vs Fresha.

Is Hacado a Fresha alternative without a marketplace?

Yes. That is the point. Hacado does not list you in a directory or send the next client to a shop down the street.

Will I lose clients if I leave Fresha?

You keep the relationships you already have - move them to your own URL. New marketplace discovery stops; that is the trade for owning the brand.

Do I get a real website?

Yes. Multi-page builder, custom domain on Solo, gift cards and booking on the same brand - not only a listing page.

Keep your bookings. Keep your clients. Keep your brand.

Start free. Publish your site. Send the new URL - not another marketplace profile.
