The diary
Run the day from one calendar.
Day, lanes, three-day and week views. Drag an appointment to reschedule it. Filter by staff member, drop in walk-ins from kiosk mode and let the waitlist fill the gaps.
Four views. Day, three-day and week, plus lanes, which turns the day on its side and gives every staff member their own row.
Drag-to-reschedule. Move an appointment in the diary and keep the day tidy when plans change.
Staff filters. Show one chair or the whole team, depending on how you like to work.
Walk-ins and waitlist. Add walk-ins from kiosk mode and use the waitlist to fill quieter gaps.

Pricing comparison
A flat rate is easier to plan around.
The Fresha row makes one worked three-chair example concrete. Other competitor costs vary with staff, bookings and extras.
TreatwellMonthly fee + 35% commission on first marketplace bookings + processingVariable
FreshaThree staff, 100 bookings a week, 70% paid by card and 20 marketplace first visits~£253+ example
BooksyBase subscription + per-staff fees + marketplace options + processingVariable
NearcutFree for You plan or quote-based Subscription + optional add-ons£0 or quote
SetoraFlat platform rate. SMS at cost, card processing at Stripe's rate if used.£39
A note on this comparison: The Fresha example uses four weeks, three staff at £9.95 each, 100 bookings a week at a £20 average, 70% paid by card in person with Tap to Pay, and 20 first marketplace visits at £20. That is about £29.85 subscription, £143 processing and £80 commission, or £253 before SMS and add-ons. Card processing is also separate on Setora, so the Setora row shows the platform price only.
