Comparison
BookFade vs Schedulicity
Flat shop pricing vs per-provider add-ons
Schedulicity is a general-purpose scheduling tool that covers everyone from barbers to fitness instructors, now owned by Vagaro but running under its own brand. It works, but the pricing grows with your team: a solo rate plus a monthly fee for every additional provider, and a 10% cut on any booking its Fill My Book marketplace sends you. BookFade is built for barbers and prices a whole shop at one flat rate, with no per-provider tax and no marketplace commission.
