When to choose which
Choose Kuee if
- You already have a steady client base and do not need a marketplace to discover net-new clients.
- You want predictable monthly costs that do not scale with your booking volume.
- You take phone bookings and want AI to answer them automatically.
- You run multiple locations or have a multilingual customer base.
Stay with Fresha if
- You are launching a new studio and want the Fresha marketplace to drive your first 50-100 clients.
- You strongly prefer paying per booking instead of a fixed monthly fee.
- You only need scheduling and POS — no AI, no SMS marketing, no multi-store rollups.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fresha really free?
The base subscription has a free tier, but Fresha charges a 20% commission (minimum $6) every time a new client books you through the Fresha marketplace, plus 2.29-3.30% payment processing on every transaction. A studio with 30 new marketplace clients per month at a $80 average ticket pays roughly $480/mo to Fresha in commission alone — more than Kuee Team's $69/mo flat fee.
Do I lose marketplace traffic if I switch to Kuee?
Yes. Kuee does not run a consumer-facing marketplace. If 20%+ of your bookings come from new clients discovering you on Fresha, factor that loss into your decision. For studios where most clients come from Google, Instagram, or referrals, the trade is favorable.
Can I migrate from Fresha to Kuee?
Yes. Kuee imports clients, services, and packages from CSV. Appointment history can be backfilled. Payment data stays in your Fresha account.
How is payment processing different?
Fresha uses its own gateway with rates of 2.29-3.30% plus 20¢. Kuee uses Stripe Terminal natively, so you get standard Stripe pricing (typically 2.7% in-person, 2.9% online) and Stripe-grade hardware. Run the math against your average ticket size — neither is universally cheaper.
Do I need an AI phone receptionist?
If you regularly miss calls (after-hours, lunch breaks, busy periods) or want to capture bookings without staff intervention, yes. Kuee bundles a 24/7 AI receptionist that recognizes returning customers and books directly into the calendar. Fresha does not offer this.
