Planity publishes no prices: its pricing page sends you to an adviser. Treatwell takes 25% (plus VAT) on every new client it brings you according to its French help centre, 35% according to the English version, then 2% on bookings paid in advance by your regular clients. Booksy lists €59 a month excluding tax, plus €10 for each additional user. These three figures come from the platforms' own pages, checked on 8 October 2026, and the links are below so you can verify them yourself.
The question is timely in Belgium. In September 2026, Planity announced a billboard campaign in Brussels, Charleroi, Mouscron, Namur, Mons and Liège, with a Brussels tram in its colours (Planity's announcement, in French). If you run a hair salon, a barbershop, a beauty salon or a nail bar, you are going to hear about it. Better to know what each model really costs before you sign anything.
Planity pricing: what does it cost in 2026?
Planity works on a monthly subscription with no commitment. Its pricing page promises fixed, transparent rates, with no commission on bookings and no set-up or maintenance fees. Yet it shows no amount at all: to learn the price, you leave your details and wait for an adviser to call.
You will find plenty of figures for Planity online, and they vary threefold from one site to the next. We do not repeat them here, because none of them comes from Planity. The only reliable price is the quote the adviser gives you. Three habits before you sign:
- Ask for the quote in writing, with the price of the plan and of every option.
- Have the options priced separately: the pricing page lists several, including the payment terminal, the online shop and the custom website.
- Ask what text messages cost, reminders and campaigns alike, and whether there are fees on online payments.
Planity also states that your client file belongs to you and that you can keep it if you leave. That is a good point, and worth having confirmed in the contract.
Treatwell commission: 25 to 35% on new clients
Treatwell does not make its living from the subscription but from commission. Its help centre for partners spells it out (article on commission, in French):
- New client brought by Treatwell: 25% of the price of the treatment, plus VAT, in the French version.
- Regular client who books and pays in advance through Treatwell or your booking button: a 2% processing fee, plus VAT.
- Regular client who pays in the salon: no fee.
The detail that matters is the definition of a "new client". For Treatwell, it is someone who has never booked with you, or who has not booked for twelve months. A client who comes back after a year and a month therefore counts as "new" again, and the commission applies again. On a €90 colour, that is €22.50 before VAT.
Careful, the rate depends on the market. The French version of the help centre says 25%, the English version says 35%, and neither mentions Belgium. Your contract is what counts: read it again, or ask for the rate in writing before you sign.
Booksy pricing: €59 a month, and Boost at 30%
Booksy is the easiest of the three to read. Its French pricing page lists €59 a month excluding tax for every feature, plus €10 a month excluding tax for each additional user. No commission on bookings made by your own clients.
The Boost option, on the other hand, works on commission: when a client books with you for the first time thanks to Boost, Booksy takes 30% of the price of that first visit, once (Boost page). Boost is optional. If you do not switch it on, you only pay the subscription.
The sum over a year, to redo with your own numbers
Take a salon with an average ticket of €55, to which the platform brings ten new clients a month. These are assumptions, replace them with yours.
- Treatwell: 25% of €55 is €13.75 per new client. Ten a month makes €137.50 a month and €1,650 a year, before VAT and processing fees. At 35%, count €19.25 per new client and €2,310 a year.
- Booksy without Boost: €59 a month, so €708 a year excluding tax for one person, €828 for two.
- Booksy with Boost: add 30% of €55, so €16.50 per new client brought by Boost.
- Planity: impossible to work out without a quote, since the price is not public.
Commission is not theft: it pays for new clients you might not have had otherwise. The real question is how many of those "new" clients would have found you anyway, on Google or by walking past your window.
The alternative: a site of your own that takes the bookings
This is what we do at Pixel Noir with Studio: a site in your name, on your own domain, where your clients book their slot at any hour. Building the site is billed at launch, on a quote, then the subscription starts at €49 a month. That plan includes online booking around the clock and a deposit when the appointment is made. Automatic text reminders and several practitioners are in the Pro plan, from €159 a month. The showcase site comes with every plan, and the assistant that answers your clients' questions, day and night, comes with the Intelligence plan, at €109 a month.
Let us be honest: it is not always cheaper than a Booksy subscription. The difference lies elsewhere.
- No platform commission on your new clients, nor on those who come back after a year.
- Your clients book with you, not on a page where the competitors in your street are listed right next to you.
- Search works for your name. When someone looks for a hairdresser in your area, it is your site that can come up, not a platform listing.
- The site speaks your clients' languages. In Belgium that is no detail: French, Dutch, English, depending on the neighbourhood.
How the subscription works is explained in our article on the website subscription, and the salon side in Automating beauty salon bookings.
When to keep the platform, and when to leave it
Leaving a platform overnight is rarely a good idea. It remains genuinely useful in two cases: you are opening a salon in an area where nobody knows you, or your clients are mostly passing through and book by reflex in an app.
For a neighbourhood salon with regulars, the move is gradual. You set up your site, you send your loyal clients to it (a link in your messages, a QR code at the till, a link on your Google profile), and you keep the platform for discovery. When most bookings go through your site, you switch off the paid options. To get the site to come up in your area, the method is in our guide to local search and the Google profile.

Frequently asked questions
Does Planity show its prices?
No. Planity's pricing page announces subscriptions with no commitment, no commission on bookings and no set-up fees, but gives no amount. The price is given by an adviser, after you get in touch. Ask for it in writing, options included.
What commission does Treatwell take?
According to its help centre for partners, Treatwell takes 25% plus VAT on the booking of a new client it brings you (35% in the English version of the same page), and 2% plus VAT on bookings paid in advance by your regular clients. A client who has not booked for twelve months counts as new again.
How much does Booksy cost per month?
Booksy's French pricing page lists €59 a month excluding tax, plus €10 excluding tax for each additional user. The optional Boost feature takes 30% of the price of the first visit of a new client who came through Boost, once.
Can I keep Treatwell or Planity and have my own site?
Yes, and it is often the best way to move. The platform keeps bringing clients who discover you, while your regulars get used to booking on your site. You then cut back the platform's paid options at your own pace.
How much does a site with online booking cost?
At Pixel Noir, building the site is billed at launch, on a quote that depends on the project, then the Studio subscription starts at €49 a month with online booking and the deposit. Automatic text reminders are in the Pro plan, from €159 a month. What goes into a website budget is detailed in How much does a website cost in 2026.
