Switching from Booksy to Glow
A 3-chair team pays Booksy about £60 a month including VAT. On Glow it's £19 with more included. Here's how to move without drama.
How it works
- Export your client list and appointments from Booksy.
- Send the export to Glow. We clean, map and import it for free. Your clients, services, prices and upcoming bookings all come across.
- Run both diaries in parallel for a week if you want the comfort blanket. Most techs don't bother past day two.
- Move your booking links (Instagram bio, Google profile, website) to your Glow page.
- Cancel Booksy at the end of your billing month.
The maths that made you look
£40 plus £5 per extra staff member plus VAT versus £19 flat. A 3-person salon saves around £490 a year. A 5-person salon saves around £640. That's a course, a new lash bed, or just your money staying yours.
What you'll miss and what you won't
Booksy's marketplace can send new footfall, and if that's working for you, weigh it honestly. What you won't miss: per-chair pricing, and Boost taking 30% of a new client's first visit.
Questions
- Will I lose Booksy Boost clients?
- You lose the marketplace when you cancel. Regulars move with the book. Weigh Boost footfall before you switch off.
- Do you import the diary?
- Yes. Clients, services, upcoming bookings.
- How much do I pay Glow?
- £19 a month flat after the launch offer. No per-chair fee.
- Can I overlap both systems?
- Yes. Most people stop checking Booksy after day two.
