Already on Fresha?
You don’t have to jump. Your clients stay yours: no marketplace listing you next to competitors, no fees for “new” clients who were already coming to you. Setup takes minutes, and you can run Morningside alongside Fresha until you’re sure.
When you do move, export your client list first and cancel last.
Here’s the order that worksWhen Fresha is the better pick
If you need card payments or deposits, Fresha does those and Morningside doesn’t. Morningside is a booking page for a pro who books their own clients, or a small team of up to 10, each with their own calendar.
Booksy, Fresha, Vagaro, GlossGenius, StyleSeat, Square, Acuity and Setmore are trademarks of their owners. Morningside isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by them. Prices are from each app’s own pages on the date shown; check theirs for the latest.
Stop chasing no-shows.
