DeMark compared with Fresha
Fresha's 29.95 is the part of the bill you can see.
Fresha is cheaper to start and brings you clients from its marketplace. It also takes a cut of each of those clients' first visit, and most of what surrounds the calendar is a paid add-on.

When Fresha is the better choice
- You want new clients more than you want to keep every dollar of the first visit. Fresha's marketplace is real reach that DeMark simply does not have.
- You need a point of sale, gift cards, memberships, packages or several locations.
- You want deposits and no-show fees at booking time today. Fresha has them; DeMark does not.
- You want a phone answered 24/7 and an app on iOS and Android.
When DeMark is the better choice
- Your clients already know you. If they come back on their own, a marketplace commission is money for nothing.
- You want one price with the things you need inside it, instead of a low base and five add-ons.
- You send written quotes as well as taking bookings. Fresha has no quotes.
