Why businesses consider switching
Promotion without a share of a first visit
Boost is free to switch on, and while it is on Booksy charges a one-time 30% of the total cost of a first visit for clients who book the business for the first time during that period. Book’d Out includes your listing on every plan, with no share of any booking.
What each extra person costs
Booksy publishes US$29.99 a month plus tax, with all features included plus US$20 a month for each additional user. Book’d Out Free has no plan limits on team members or locations, and a paid plan's allowance is followed by $10 a month each.
No Australian-dollar price
Booksy publishes no Australian-dollar price: its Australian pricing path redirects to the United States page. Book’d Out prices in Australian dollars, so the number on the pricing page is the number on your statement.
A $0 entry point
Booksy publishes a 14 day trial and no free plan. Book’d Out Free is $0 a month, with online bookings billed at $0.30 per 15 minutes booked online.
What Booksy does well
- A large consumer marketplace, strong with barbers and men’s grooming.
- The subscription includes all features, with no higher tiers and no per-feature add-on fees.
- No commission at all while Boost is off, and none on clients who find you through your own marketing.
- Reminders are published as always free, and Reserve with Google is included.
Where Book’d Out differs
- Australian focus, with pricing published in Australian dollars.
- A $0 entry point with no plan limits on team members or locations.
- 0% commission on your appointment revenue, promoted or not.
- A team allowance in the plan price rather than a charge per additional user.
- Free CSV client import, and you set the customer booking fee on a paid plan.
Which one might suit you?
Booksy may suit a business that wants its established consumer marketplace and prefers one subscription with every feature switched on.
Book’d Out may suit an Australian business that wants a $0 starting option, Australian-dollar pricing, and no commission on new clients while it promotes itself.

Frequently asked questions
Does Booksy charge a marketplace commission?
Not while Boost is off. With Boost on it charges a one-time 30% of the total cost of a first visit for clients who book you for the first time during that period, and it suggests sharing your own profile link so those clients are not charged. Book’d Out takes no share of any booking. Checked 16 September 2026.
Why are Booksy prices shown in US dollars here?
Because Booksy publishes no Australian-dollar price, and its Australian pricing path redirects to the United States page. Converting would mean fixing an exchange rate to a date, and a stale rate is a wrong price, so the figures are shown as published.
What does Book’d Out charge as my team grows?
Free has no plan limits on team members or locations. On a paid plan, Bookings Plus Team covers 5 team members and Bookings Pro covers 15 at $49 a month, then $10 a month each.
Can I bring my client list across from Booksy?
