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.
Website
A full branded site: services, gallery, FAQ, gift cards, your domain.
Website
An app listing and booking flow under Fresha’s brand - not an independent website you own.
Marketplace
None. Instagram, Google, and word of mouth bring demand. We run the book.
Marketplace
Marketplace discovery is the product. New clients arrive beside competitors Fresha also lists.
Who owns the client
Your workspace. Your list. Your brand on every reminder.
Who owns the client
The next booking lives inside the marketplace dynamic. Clients remember the app as much as you.
What you pay for
A plan. No client-directory commission.
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.
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.
Yes. That is the point. Hacado does not list you in a directory or send the next client to a shop down the street.
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.
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.
