The new-client fee tax

Your booking app charges you a fee for “new” clients. Some of them were already yours.

Marketplace apps take a cut every time a “new” client books you. But a walk-in who finally booked online, a regular who tapped the app instead of texting, a friend your client referred — the app bills you for those too. Here's a rough estimate of what that costs you.

An estimate from your inputs — not a claim about your actual book. The ~30% is a transparent model of how often “new” clients were already yours, not a measured figure. Your real number comes from your own client history.

Questions barbers actually ask

It is a transparent model, not a measured figure — an assumption about how often a "new" client the app billed you for was already yours (a walk-in, a regular who tapped the app, a referral). We show it so the math is honest; your real number comes from your own client history.
No — it is an estimate built from the three numbers you type. It is meant to show the shape of the problem, not to report your books. Want your real recovered number? That is what the free audit on the next page does.
Correct. There is no per-client or new-client fee, ever — new or returning. Pricing is a flat monthly plan, and you do not pay until we demonstrably put a client back in your chair.
No. Building and claiming your own page is free, no card. You keep your current booking app as long as you like and switch only when you are ready.
