The best alternative to Planity in 2026

The real problem with beauty marketplaces
What nobody tells you when you sign up with Planity.
The client doesn't come for your salon
When a client books on Planity, they come for Planity, not for you. It's their interface, their UX, their branding. Your salon is just one line among hundreds. Not a brand.
They come for the platform
The client relationship belongs to Planity. Their app, their notifications, their CRM. You deliver the service, they keep the relationship. Every booking strengthens their asset, not yours.
No differentiation possible
Stylist A, stylist B, stylist C, same interface, same listing format, same presentation. Impossible to stand out visually. Your added value is invisible.
Permanent price war
In a directory, comparison is instant. Clients filter by price. You're forced to match the cheapest in the neighbourhood, not compete on the quality of your service.
No long-term value
Every booking through Planity is a transaction with no memory. No loyalty programme, no push notification in your name, no digital asset that belongs to you. You start from scratch every time.
On a marketplace, you are a service provider. With Madyis, you are a brand.
Why white label changes everything
Stop being a line in a directory. Become a brand with a digital asset that belongs to you.
Premium image
Your salon projects a high-end image. Your clients have your app on their phone, your logo, your colours, your identity. Not some generic directory.
Real loyalty
Loyalty programmes, points, personalised offers: your clients come back for you, not for a platform. Retention increases naturally when the connection is direct.
Full data ownership
Your client database belongs 100% to you. Export whenever you want, contact whoever you want, migrate if you choose. No platform can block your access.
Integrated CRM
Full history for every client, preferences, last visit, average spend. A real salon CRM in your hands, not a basic spreadsheet provided by a marketplace.
Automated marketing
Push campaigns, SMS, re-engagement emails, birthday offers. Madyis automates your marketing without asking you to master a complex tool.
App under your salon's name
Available on the App Store and Google Play, under your name and logo. Your clients download your app, not a marketplace's app that will resell their attention to the highest bidder.
Why salons are leaving Planity in 2026
The question is no longer just about pricing. Beauty professionals are leaving marketplaces for a deeper reason: they want to build something that belongs to them. A salon booking software without a marketplace is a salon that controls its own growth.
Is Planity competing against your own clients?
Planity has a database of millions of clients. Those clients receive recommendations from other salons. Your clientele is not captive, they are permanently exposed to your competitors within the same app. That's not loyalty, that's a marketplace.
A mobile app for your hair salon under your name: it's possible
Many stylists think having their own app is only for large chains. That's wrong. Madyis creates your white-label app, available on the App Store and Google Play, for 49 euros per month, included in the subscription, no extra charge. A direct alternative to Planity for all independent salons.
Commission-free salon booking software: how does it work?
Madyis operates on a fixed subscription model. No commission on bookings, no per-transaction fee, no hidden charges. You pay 49 euros per month and keep 100% of your revenue. That's the fundamental difference between an independent management tool and a marketplace like Planity or Fresha.

"3 years on Planity. When the prices went up at the end of 2024, I said enough. With Madyis, my clients have my app under my name. No more ties to a directory that kept everything, my data, my visibility, my client relationships."
