The Truth About Marketplace Platforms
They profit by inserting themselves between you and the customers you attracted. Here's how:
They Take Credit (And Commission)
Fresha charges 20% commission on 'new customers'—even when that customer found YOU on Google and would have booked anyway. They're taking credit (and your profit) for customers who were already looking for you.
They Control Your Customers
Your customer data lives in their system. Want to export it? Difficult. Want to market directly without fees? Not happening. When bookings flow through their platform, they own the relationship—not you.
They Attract Discount Hunters
Marketplace customers browse by lowest price, book once at a discount, and disappear. Your Instagram followers and Google customers are the ones who come back every 6 weeks. Those are the customers worth serving better.
Industry data: Less than 10% of bookings come from marketplace app discovery—yet you pay commission on far more.
“Marketplace customers book once at a discount and disappear. My Instagram followers are the ones who come back every 6 weeks. Those are the customers I want to serve better.”
A Better Way: Direct Connection, Not Intermediation
Your customers are already finding you—through Google, Instagram, referrals, and reputation. You don't need a middleman inserting themselves between you and them.
You need software that converts these inquiries efficiently, without giving up control or paying commission to someone who didn't earn it.
That's what Askie does. We help you book more appointments from the customers already looking for you—while you keep 100% of the relationship and profit.
No Marketplace
We don't compete for your customers' attention or list you alongside discount competitors. You're not buried in search results or fighting for 'featured' placement.
Your Data, Your Customers
Every email, phone number, and conversation history is 100% yours. Export anytime with one click, no restrictions. We never mask customer contact info or charge you to reach them.
Multi-Channel Native
Take bookings from Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, Facebook, and web—all in one system. No app download for customers. Meet them where they already are.
Salon Owners Who Made the Switch
“I was losing customers to phone tag and missed Instagram DMs. Now they book directly from Instagram in seconds. No more commission to Fresha either—that alone saves me $400/month.”
“Switched from Booksy three months ago. Already seeing 30% more bookings from Instagram, and I actually own my customer list now. Should've done this sooner.”
“The booking flow is so much easier than Vagaro. Customers actually complete it instead of abandoning halfway through. Plus no surprise add-on fees every month.”

Questions Salon Owners Ask
Most appointments don't come from marketplace apps anyway—they come from Google Maps (35-40%), Instagram (25-30%), and word-of-mouth. Askie helps you convert these inquiries that are already looking for YOU. We make it easy to book from wherever customers find you—Instagram DMs, Google Business Profile, your website, Facebook.
Plus, marketplace customers are often one-time discount hunters with low loyalty. Your best customers find you organically and come back for your quality, not because of a deal. Those are the customers worth serving better.
We make switching easy:
• Free migration of all your customers, services, and schedule • No downtime—we set everything up before you switch • We'll help train your staff (usually takes 15 minutes) • Export your data anytime if it doesn't work out—no lock-in
Most salons who switch see an immediate increase in bookings because the flow is so much easier for customers. One owner told us: "I wish I'd done this six months ago—I'd have saved $2,400 in Fresha commissions."
Yes. Here's how:
1. You'll capture Instagram DMs and WhatsApp messages you're missing now (67% of social inquiries go unanswered during business hours)
2. Customers can book 24/7 when you're closed (40% of bookings happen outside business hours)
3. The booking flow is so much easier that more browsers become bookers (up to 35% higher conversion)
4. Smart scheduling automatically fills your slow periods
Most salons see 20-30% more bookings in month one. The software pays for itself with just one extra appointment per week.
Askie integrates with Square, Stripe, and other payment processors. Or continue to use what you already have. You choose your preferred provider, we never touch your money or take a cut.
Unlike marketplace platforms that process payments (and take commission), we're just booking software. You keep 100% of every transaction, processed however you want.
Absolutely. Export your complete customer list, appointment history, and all data with one click, anytime, for any reason. We don't hold YOUR data hostage.
Your customers are yours, not ours. We're just software helping you manage them better. If Askie stops working for you, take your data and go. No penalties, no runaround, no "please reconsider."
Never. We charge a simple monthly subscription ($25 or $50 depending on team size). That's it.
No commission on bookings. No transaction fees. No "boost" charges. No per-appointment fees. No hidden costs.
We make money when you succeed with our software, not by taxing your bookings.
