Booksy is a large booking app for salons, barbers and beauty businesses, with a consumer marketplace, built for 1:1 appointments and being discovered. Class Booking is built for capacity-managed group classes, memberships and punch cards, on your own brand with no marketplace commission. This page shows when each one fits.
Where we differ
Booksy and Class Booking both handle the core of running a studio: class booking, memberships and payments. They differ in focus, pricing model and setup. Below are the points where Class Booking takes its own approach, so you can judge which matters for your studio. For Booksy's current features and prices, check its own website.
Class Booking is class-first: capacity, waitlists, auto-promotion, class packs and unlimited memberships side by side.
Class Booking has no marketplace and no referral fee. Booksy's marketplace promotion is priced separately; see Booksy's pricing page.
A member keeps the same weekly spot in the same class, with a waitlist behind it.
On Class Booking, your booking page runs on your own domain and promotes your business.
Class Booking is built in Denmark and hosts all data in the EU.

Fair take
Different studios need different systems. Here's when Booksy may suit you better.
Tell us when you want to switch. We export your members, classes, schedules and active subscriptions from Booksy, import them to Class Booking, sit on a video call with you to verify everything looks right, and switch your domain over the weekend. Your customers don't notice.
Yes, that is the core of the product. Capacity management, waitlists, auto-promotion, memberships and punch cards are all native. Booksy is built for 1:1 appointments. If group classes and memberships are your business, Class Booking is built for it.
Class Booking has no marketplace and no referral fee. For Booksy's marketplace promotion, see Booksy's current pricing page. If marketplace discovery is a big channel for you, factor that in before switching.
If 1:1 appointments dominate and marketplace discovery matters, Booksy is a fair choice. When classes, memberships or punch cards matter, Class Booking is built for that, and it handles 1:1 treatments natively too.
Yes, we import your clients, their contact details and upcoming appointments, and recreate packages and memberships so nobody loses what they paid for. Payment methods stored with another provider do not move 1:1, so members re-enter their card once on first login, and we provide an email template you can send the day before.
Yes, the Booksy marketplace listing stays with Booksy. New clients find you through your own site's SEO instead. If consumer discovery is your bottleneck, weigh that before switching.
