Being fair about it: Fresha's card rates are lower than ours, and its marketplace is a real source of new clients. TotalPro360 is the better deal when your team is bigger than one or two people, or when most of your clients already know you.

The math for a five-person salon

On Fresha's Team plan at $14.95 per team member, five bookable people is $74.75 a month before processing. On TotalPro360 the software is $0 for five people or fifteen, and you pay 3.9% + 30¢ per card payment on the card payments you take.

Free software for your kind of business

Pick your business type and you'll start with a service menu built for it.

“I’ve got a person for you.” Get paid for it.

Your clients ask you for recommendations all the time. On the TotalPro360 network, when your stylist sends a client to a massage therapist on the network and that appointment is booked and paid, your business earns a share of the network fee. The business that receives the referral pays nothing for the lead itself, only a network fee after the job is booked and paid. How the referral network works · Our sister network for home services.
