Boost: the marketplace fee
Source: https://biz.booksy.com/en-us/features/boost (checked Oct 31, 2026)
Every Booksy business gets a free listing on the Booksy Marketplace. Boost is an optional marketing feature that gives you more visibility there, featured placement in recommended galleries, and a “Booksy Recommended” badge.
- It’s free to turn on, with no monthly fee.
- If a client books with you for the first time while Boost is on, you pay a one-time commission of 30% of the total cost of that first visit, up to $100. Booksy says tips aren’t included.
- On that client’s second visit and later, the commission is 0%.
| First-visit total | Boost fee |
|---|---|
| $40 | $12 |
| $80 | $24 |
| $150 | $45 |
| $400 | $100 (cap) |
Booksy says it doesn’t charge a commission for clients who find you online or through your own marketing, or on Booksy when Boost is off. It suggests sharing your Booksy Profile Link with existing clients so they aren’t counted as Boost clients.
What a typical business pays
Subscription plus estimated card fees, before tax. Assumes in-person payments on the Booksy Card Reader and no Boost.

Is Booksy expensive?
For a solo provider, $29.99 with forms, waitlists, deposits, and 2,000 texts included is good value: Vagaro charges $10/mo each for its Forms and Online Shopping Cart add-ons, and GlossGenius puts forms and the waitlist on its $48 Gold plan. Costs rise steadily with team size because every extra person is $20. Compare:
- Booksy vs Vagaro: Vagaro’s base is $30 list with $10 per extra calendar and paid add-ons.
- Booksy vs GlossGenius: GlossGenius Gold is $48/mo billed annually for up to 9 staff.
- Vagaro alternatives prices five tools by team size.
