AskDila vs Treatwell & Fresha

Treatwell and Fresha are marketplaces first. They can put your salon in front of people who have never heard of you, and they take a share of those bookings in return. AskDila is not a marketplace — it is built for the clients you already have. (Booksy runs on a similar marketplace model and is worth the same consideration.)

Written by the AskDila team, so read it with that in mind. We have tried to describe where each tool genuinely wins rather than only where we do.

Where Treatwell / Fresha is stronger

They can bring you new clients

Treatwell, Fresha, and Booksy can help you attract new clients through their platform. AskDila has no marketplace and no discovery, so it will not find anyone for you.

A consumer-facing app your clients may already have

Because they are consumer brands, some clients arrive already holding an account. AskDila has no consumer app at all — it works through your own channels.

Where AskDila is stronger

No commission on your bookings

Treatwell and Fresha take a cut of every new client booking. AskDila charges a flat monthly fee. What you earn is yours.

The client relationship stays yours

Bookings come through your WhatsApp number and your own website, so the client stays your client rather than the platform's.
