What the incumbents cost
Per seat, per location, or per contract year — that is the model. Here is what the systems you are comparing actually charge.
From $79/mo Starter per location; higher tiers quote-only
Priced per location, on a required contract — and Booker lists no trial period, so you commit before running a single appointment.
From $176/mo per location
Premium positioning, priced per location and climbing by tier as you add rooms and providers.
From $120/mo + $10/user
A clean product, but the base plan is a floor that rises with team size and add-ons.
From $30/mo per calendar
Cheap to start, but priced per bookable calendar — every additional calendar adds $10/mo, so the bill climbs with the team.
Low entry cost
The angle here is not price. Fresha is cheap to start, but its marketplace model puts Fresha between you and your client: clients discover you through Fresha, so Fresha owns the acquisition relationship. With Tersavia, no marketplace sits between you and the relationship.

Tersavia is the one that does not. The booking platform is free for every location, month-to-month — Marketing, AI Reception, and Paid Ads are the only three things you ever add, each priced on its own.

Here is the offer, plainly. The booking platform costs you nothing, forever — the full product, nothing held back, no card to start.
There is no separate CMS subscription, no bait tier, and no feature locked behind an upgrade. No marketplace commission on top, and no contract to unwind.
Who built it
Tersavia was built by multi-location spa owners who also own a beauty school. We run the businesses, and we train the estheticians who work in them — so the platform was built by people who know both the operations and the front desk.
We built it because we needed it, and we run our own business on it.
Free, in full
Not a stripped starter tier. The whole booking platform, with Fiona and your CRM included.
