No customer subscription — one-time 3.85% booking & processing fee of the full service price

Book the service. Stay in control.

Lock in any service with a deposit set by the business — refundable or not, labeled upfront. A one-time booking and processing fee of 3.85% of the full service price is charged at checkout. If a balance remains, it is charged automatically to your saved card 24 hours before the appointment. Book 24 hours or less before the appointment and the full amount is charged today. No surprises.

No customer subscription

Browse and book with no monthly fee for customers. A one-time booking and processing fee of 3.85% of the full service price is charged at checkout.

You stay in control

Every deposit is clearly labeled refundable or non-refundable before you book. No-deposit bookings are confirmed by the business; deposit bookings are confirmed the moment payment succeeds.

Email reminders, on time

We automatically remind you 24 hours and 1 hour before every appointment, so nothing slips through the cracks.

How it works

Two sides, one calm booking flow.

Customers

Book a service in 5 steps

01
Search for a service
Filter by category, city, or keyword to find businesses near you.
02
Compare businesses
Reviews, pricing, deposit policy, and badges in one place. The Verified badge means our payments partner approved that business's identity — not every listing has it yet.
03
Book online
Pick a time slot from the business's live availability. No phone tag.
04
Pay securely
The deposit set by the business (refundable or non-refundable, labeled upfront) plus a one-time booking and processing fee of 3.85% of the full service price, via encrypted checkout. Booking 24 hours or less before the appointment charges the full amount today.
05
Enjoy the service
Automatic reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before. Any remaining balance is charged automatically 24 hours before the appointment.

Businesses

List your business in 5 steps

01
Create your business
Sign up in minutes with your business name, description, and contact info.
02
Subscribe & set up payouts
Activate your subscription and your listings can go live. Complete secure payout setup whenever you're ready — it's what unlocks your earnings and the Verified badge, not your ability to take bookings.
03
Add your services
Set pricing, deposit policy, availability, and where you serve customers (in-shop or online).
04
Accept bookings
Customers book directly. You confirm, decline, or reschedule from your dashboard.
05
Get paid
Deposits route to your payout account automatically once payout setup is approved. Before that, your share is held as a pending transfer and released to you afterwards. BookFreely takes a 5% platform fee.

Verified badge means Stripe-approved

Businesses can list and take bookings once subscribed, but only those Stripe has approved for payouts show the Verified badge.

Refundable deposits

Every deposit is labeled refundable or non-refundable upfront.

Secure payments

Deposits are processed by Stripe. Until a business is Stripe-approved, its share is held by BookFreely as a pending transfer — you are never charged twice.
