Which one fits you best?
Choose agend.pt if…
- You already have your clients and just need a link for them to book, without going through a marketplace.
- You have a team and don't want the price to rise with every bookable person.
- You want a flat price in euros instead of a price per team member.
- You don't need point of sale or stock management.
Choose Fresha if…
- You want a marketplace to bring you new clients, with no commission in Portugal.
- You need point of sale, stock, retail or vouchers in the same system.
- You want loyalty and marketing campaigns built in.
- You work alone and prefer one platform covering the whole business, not just bookings.
Why professionals choose agend.pt
-
The price doesn't grow with the team
On Fresha's Team plan each bookable member costs €12.95/month (excluding VAT). On agend.pt, €11.99 or €17.99 a month covers everyone.
-
Your own booking page
An agend.pt/your-name link you share on Instagram, WhatsApp or Google, instead of a profile listed next to your competitors.
-
Only bookings, no modules you don't use
agend.pt is the booking layer, at a flat price. If you need point of sale, stock or a marketplace, Fresha covers more.
-
No-show tracking
Mark missed appointments, see how often each client missed, and win back those who missed from a dedicated queue.
