Not sure if Bober is the right fit? We put together honest, side-by-side comparisons with the most popular booking and CRM tools in the barbershop and beauty space. No spin — just features, pricing, and who each tool is built for.
Bober vs Fresha
Fresha offers a free plan with commission on online bookings. Bober charges a flat €29/month with zero commission. Best for shops that already have their own clients.
Bober vs Booksy
Booksy is a Polish-founded marketplace with per-seat pricing. Bober includes unlimited staff for one flat rate. Best for multi-chair shops watching their costs.
Bober vs Altegio (YClients)
Altegio is the dominant CRM in CIS markets. Bober is a modern alternative built for EU compliance, simpler pricing, and multi-language support.
Bober vs Treatwell
Treatwell is a marketplace that brings clients to you for a commission. Bober is a CRM where you own the client relationship. Different tools for different problems.
Bober vs Square Appointments
Square is a payment-first platform with scheduling bolted on. Bober is a barber-first CRM. If you're in Europe, Square's payments don't even work in most countries.
Bober vs Mindbody
Mindbody starts at $139/month and is built for fitness empires. Bober costs €29/month and is built for barbershops. Most of Mindbody's features are irrelevant to a 3-chair shop.
Bober vs SimplyBook.me
SimplyBook.me is a general booking tool for any industry. Bober is purpose-built for barbers and salons — no configuration needed to match your workflow.
Why These Comparisons Exist
We built Bober because we couldn't find a booking CRM that was simple, fairly priced, and built for European barbershops. These pages are our honest take on how we stack up. If a competitor is better for your use case, we'll tell you.
