LinkandBook is a flat-per-location salon platform. Same online booking, deposits, retail POS, packages, recall and clients-ledger as Booksy — but you're not charged per stylist, and there's no marketplace commission on your direct bookings.
Booksy charges roughly €20 per stylist per month — so a salon with 6 chairs pays €120+/month before any add-ons. LinkandBook is flat per location (typically €39/month) regardless of stylist count. Same feature set: online booking, deposits, no-show fees, retail POS, packages, memberships, automated recall. Plus a B2B marketplace where partner hotels and gyms can sell your vouchers for a referral commission — something Booksy's directory doesn't do.
A 4-chair salon doubles to 8 chairs and the Booksy bill doubles too. With LinkandBook, the price is the same.
Customers who find you on the Booksy app book through Booksy's brand, not yours. Your direct booking widget still funnels them through their funnel.
Booksy's directory is consumer-only. With LinkandBook, partner hotels and gyms can sell your vouchers to their guests — you only pay commission when a referral actually books.
Booksy doesn't answer the phone. LinkandBook's multilingual AI voice agent takes bookings 24/7, so you can focus on the chair.

Yes. Booksy lets you export clients as CSV from the dashboard. We import names, phone, email and visit history. Past appointments don't carry over (Booksy doesn't expose them in export), but new ones build immediately.
Booksy's reviews stay on Booksy — they belong to that directory. We recommend asking your top regulars for a fresh review on Google Maps and your own site once you switch; those are platform-independent and won't disappear if you switch tools again.
No. Bookings happen on a regular web link or QR — no app install required. You can also embed the widget on your Instagram bio link tool (Linktree, Beacons) or your website.
Depends on your volume. Salons that get 10+ phone calls a day usually save hours per week. The agent answers in 30+ languages, books appointments, takes deposits and confirms via SMS. Pay per answered minute (~€0.05–0.10/min); cap your monthly spend.
