The front desk that runs itself —
without renting your clients back.
Fresha lists you in a marketplace and takes a cut of the clients you already had. Maintral charges one flat, honest fee — no commission on your clients, ever — and lets Veya rebook, chase deposits, fill gaps and win back regulars for you.
What Fresha actually costs you.
The headline is $14.95/seat — but the true cost is the 20% new-client commissions, per-message SMS and per-seat fees on top. Move the sliders for your business.
Based on Fresha’s published pricing (2026): Team $14.95/seat/mo (Independent $19.95 solo), 20% marketplace new-client fee (min $6), SMS billed per message (~$0.05 assumed). Card processing (~2.29% on Fresha; standard rates via your own processor on Maintral) is excluded as roughly comparable — Maintral adds no markup. Illustrative estimate, not a quote.
Four things Fresha can’t offer.
Your clients are yours.
No marketplace that resells you. No 20% fee on people who already knew you. Your book exports in one click, any time — you are never locked in.
We grow your regulars.
Fresha finds you strangers and taxes them. Maintral makes the clients you have come back more often — automatic rebooking, waitlist-fill and win-backs, included.
A front desk that works.
Veya confirms bookings, chases deposits, fills tomorrow’s gaps and asks for reviews on her own. Fresha is a booking page; Veya is the receptionist you can’t afford.
The sticker is the price.
One flat fee for the whole team — no per-seat creep, no surprise commissions, no paid SMS. Fresha’s real cost runs well above its headline. Ours does not move.
Maintral vs Fresha.
Leaving Fresha?
Import your clients and upcoming appointments, keep your booking link, and let Veya take over the front desk the same day. We’ll even show you what you paid Fresha last year.
Booksy, Vagaro, Mindbody.
The pattern repeats: per-seat subscriptions, paid marketing, and a marketplace that treats your clients as inventory. Maintral is the flat-fee, client-first, AI-run alternative to all of them.
vs Booksy
Per-seat plans plus paid “Boost” acquisition that commissions your bookings. Maintral: no boost tax, Veya included.
vs Vagaro
Per-employee pricing that climbs with your team, plus add-ons for the features you actually need. Maintral: one flat fee, everything on.
vs Mindbody
Enterprise pricing and long contracts aimed upmarket. Maintral: honest monthly pricing and a front desk that runs itself, for independents.
