What does Fresha really cost you?
Compare annual subscription and marketplace fees; card processing, SMS and other charges are excluded. Every number is visible and editable, because your own statement matters more than our assumption.

Your Fresha subscription above is your own number. The marketplace-fee figures below are editable estimates, not quotes. Replace them with what your own Fresha statement shows.
Fresha marketplace-fee assumptions
Fresha's published policy as of 19 July 2026: charged once, only on a client its marketplace brought you. Never on a returning or direct client.
Applied when the percentage result is lower.
Optional. Enter a known regional cap; 0 means no cap modelled.
Card processing (not modelled)
Card payments through Preen use Stripe's online pricing. Preen adds nothing.
Card payments made through Preen go to your connected Stripe account. Your Stripe account's pricing applies. Stripe's published Australian online card rates include GST. Preen adds no payment fee or booking commission. Stripe's rates are set by Stripe and may change; see stripe.com/au/pricing. Stripe keeps its processing fee on refunds, charges its own dispute fee, and pays you on your own payout schedule.
This estimate leaves processing out of both totals below, since Fresha businesses don’t all take cards through Fresha’s own rail either. Check your own statement for what you actually pay to process a card today.

Itemised annual estimate
AUD, GST-inclusive| Cost line | Fresha estimate | Preen |
|---|---|---|
| Software subscription | $0 | $588 |
| New-client marketplace fee (once, per client) | $1,728 | $0, no booking commission |

The estimated marketplace charge is $18.00 per eligible new client, applied only to the 8 new marketplace clients you entered above, not to your returning clients.
No marketplace maximum is modelled. Fresha says a maximum cap may apply; this estimate can overstate fees for high-value first appointments. Add your known cap above.
Neither total includes card processing costs. The Fresha assumptions panel above says why. Check your own Stripe or Fresha statement to compare that separately.
Read this before relying on the result
Estimates only. Enter your own Fresha subscription from your statement. Marketplace-fee assumptions (rate, minimum, maximum) reflect Fresha’s published policy as of 19 July 2026, editable above. Confirm current details directly with Fresha. Pricing can vary by region, currency, tax, plan, transaction mix and marketplace-fee caps. This calculator does not model card processing, SMS, refunds, chargebacks or every possible add-on. Not financial advice.
Preen is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Fresha. “Fresha” is used only to identify the service being compared. All Fresha figures are estimates. Confirm them independently.
