Termio vs Fresha

Termio is the transparent alternative to Fresha — no transaction fees, no marketplace commission, and a permanent Free plan instead of Fresha's 7-day trial cliff.

  • Fresha no longer offers a free tier — the plan starts at €11.95/mo but Fresha Pay adds 1.29% + €0.20 on every payment. Termio Easy is €6/mo (solo) with no transaction fees.
  • Fresha takes a 20% commission on the first booking of new clients acquired through the Fresha marketplace. Termio has no marketplace and takes no cut from bookings — all the money goes directly to you.
  • Fresha runs a 7-day trial before forcing a paid plan. Termio has a permanent Free plan — no payment card, no commitment, upgrade to a paid plan only when you're ready.
  • Termio is under active development with a direct line to the team. If you need a specific feature, we can build it for you — Fresha at global scale does not prioritise individual requests.

When to choose Fresha over Termio

  • If you want one integrated payment gateway with native tipping, split payments and tap-to-pay directly on a phone, Fresha Pay has that deeper integration. Termio works with an external payment gateway via Stripe / GoPay.
  • If marketplace discovery through Fresha is a real acquisition channel for you, the 20% commission on the first booking is a marketing cost that may still beat paid ads. Termio does not have an equivalent distribution network.

Termio vs Fresha: no 1.29% transaction fee and no 20% marketplace commission

Why migrate from Fresha to Termio?

Termio has no transaction fees and no marketplace commission. Fresha takes 1.29% + €0.20 on every Fresha Pay payment and a 20% commission on the first booking of new marketplace clients. At higher volumes that can add up to thousands of euros per year.

How long does migration from Fresha take?

Typically 2–4 days. You export clients and appointments from Fresha to CSV and Termio imports the full client database plus the last 12 months of bookings. Termio supports the same service types, so re-creating prices is a direct 1:1 mapping. Email reminders are enabled in the studio settings (global intervals such as 24 or 48 hours before the appointment).

How do the prices compare? Fresha looks cheaper.

Termio Easy is €6/mo (solo) — cheaper headline than Fresha's €11.95/mo. Even at a higher Termio tier, Fresha adds 1.29% + €0.20 per payment plus 20% on the first booking of marketplace clients, so the real Fresha cost is typically materially higher than the headline.

What fees does Fresha charge that Termio does not?

Fresha charges 1.29% + €0.20 per Fresha Pay payment and 20% on the first booking of new marketplace clients. Termio has no transaction fees and no marketplace commission — the subscription is everything you pay.

Can I run Termio alongside Fresha?

Yes. Termio's Free plan (no payment card, no commitment) leaves Fresha running. That sidesteps Fresha's 7-day trial cliff and lets you decide after a proper test.
