Comparison · Philippines
Fresha is a globally recognized booking platform used by barbershops worldwide. It's technically free for core booking software, but its marketplace fees and lack of Philippine-specific features make it a poor fit for most local shops. ClipprOS is built for the Philippine market from the ground up.

Fresha markets itself as "free" but charges a percentage on new clients booked through its marketplace and on payment processing. For an active barbershop doing ₱100,000 in monthly revenue, these fees add up quickly. ClipprOS charges a flat monthly rate — ₱599 or ₱1,499 — with no per-transaction or marketplace fees, ever.
Fresha is built for the UK and US market. It doesn't have GCash or Maya payment integration. It doesn't support live walk-in queues. Its pricing is in USD, meaning your cost fluctuates with the exchange rate. ClipprOS costs ₱599 or ₱1,499 every month, always, in Philippine pesos.
Fresha operates globally including the Philippines, but it's not localized for the Philippine market. It doesn't support GCash or Maya payments, its pricing is in USD (meaning your cost changes with the exchange rate), and it lacks features like live walk-in queue management that most Philippine barbershops need.
Fresha's core scheduling software is free. However, Fresha charges a "new client fee" when clients discover you through its marketplace, and it charges for payment processing. For shops doing significant volume, these fees often exceed what a flat-fee system like ClipprOS would cost.
ClipprOS does not operate as a marketplace. Instead, every shop gets their own branded booking page that can rank on Google directly. There are no marketplace commissions — you own your customer relationships. ClipprOS shops also appear on the Clippr Explore directory for local discovery.
No marketplace fees. No USD surprises. From ₱599/month.
