What professionals say about Booksy
The real reasons why salons look for a more transparent alternative.
A marketplace that puts your competitors one tap away
On Booksy, your clients see every salon around them. If your slot is taken or your price is slightly higher, they book with the competitor next door. It's a permanent price war, and you never come out on top.
An American product, not built for your market
Booksy was built for the American market. Partial GDPR compliance, slow international support, and workflows that don't match local billing practices.
Slow customer support
Professionals report long response times. If something breaks on a busy Saturday morning, Booksy support is hard to reach quickly. Madyis is built and supported locally.
Your brand stays inside their interface
Your clients see the Booksy app, not yours. With Madyis, they download your app with your name and colors. You build your own digital asset.
The price war makes you lose
On a marketplace, the cheapest salon wins. Clients compare prices, schedules and reviews in one tap, and book with whoever's cheapest. With Madyis, your clients book directly with you, without seeing your competitors.
Your data is partly locked in
Booksy allows only partial data export. Madyis guarantees your data is 100% yours, fully exportable at any time, with no restrictions.

Why salons choose Madyis over Booksy
Transparent, complete, and built for beauty professionals.
Escape the price war
On a marketplace, your competitors are one tap away. Clients compare prices, schedules and reviews, and book with whoever's cheapest. Madyis frees you from this spiral: your clients book directly with you, without seeing the competition.
Your app, your brand
Booksy doesn't offer a white-label app. With Madyis, your clients download your app with your name and logo. You build your brand, not an American platform's.
Built for local professionals
Native GDPR compliance, local support, features adapted to your market. Booksy remains primarily an American product translated into other languages.
100% data ownership
Full export at any time. No restrictions. Your client records, history and services belong to you.
Direct marketing, no middleman
Push notifications, SMS, loyalty emails, flash offers, all from Madyis, without going through any marketplace.
Your clients book with you, not with the competitor next door
On Booksy, if a client hesitates, she sees ten other salons. With Madyis, she has your app on her phone. The booking happens with you, period. No comparison, no leaking to the competition.
Booksy: why salons are leaving the marketplace in 2026
Booksy is first and foremost a marketplace. Your salon appears in a list next to your direct competitors. If a client is looking for a slot and yours is taken, she books with another salon in one tap. That's the very principle of a marketplace: a price war and a race for the next available slot.
Why an American booking platform creates friction locally
Booksy was founded in the United States. Partial GDPR compliance, time-zone delays in support, and an interface that's translated but not localised. Madyis is built and supported locally, for local professionals, by local teams.
White-label salon app: why it's decisive for client retention
When your clients download Booksy, they're inside Booksy's environment, competitors are one tap away. With Madyis, they have your app on their phone. Loyalty becomes direct, personal and platform-independent.
Leaving the marketplace: the impact on your salon
On a marketplace, every lost client goes to the competitor next door, visible on the same app. With Madyis, your clients have your app on their phone. They book with you, receive your offers and earn loyalty points. No comparison, no price war. 49 euros per month, all-in.

"I used Booksy for two years. Between the Boost, SMS fees and add-ons, I was paying over 120 euros a month. With Madyis it's 49 euros flat, I have my own app under my name and I owe nothing to an American platform."
