What you get

Prevent room clashes and prepare properly for every treatment.

A treatment can only happen when the right therapist and room are both available. Cobbtree checks both and keeps the client's forms, notes and visit history ready for the team.

01

Therapist and room availability

Only offer a time when every person and resource needed for the treatment is free.

02

Client information before arrival

Collect consultation details and keep previous visits on one client record.

03

Packages and skincare sales

Sell future treatments and retail products through the same checkout.

The useful parts

Card processingStripe's rate
Card payments run through your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its own published rate for the card used. Cobbtree adds nothing on top and never holds your takings.
A genuinely new customer10% + VAT, once
Charged once after a new customer's first completed, paid visit, whether they booked through a direct link, your website, the marketplace or walked in. Every booking after that is free.
Gift cards sold on Cobbtree5%, once
Charged once when a card is sold, on what the buyer paid for it. It never comes out of the balance, so whoever receives the card can still spend its full face value with you.
Membership payments5%
Charged on membership money as it is collected - the joining fee and each payment after it - and never on a perk a member uses. A membership bought as a gift is charged on the gift, not again on the visits.

Founders access is limited to the first 20 approved businesses and replaces the standard 60-day trial. No setup fee. No onboarding fee. No contracts. Ever.

The comparison calculator covers monthly software only. Fresha Independent is £14.95 + VAT for one person; its £9.95 + VAT team rate starts at two bookable people. Premium reports are £7.95 per bookable team member, Client Loyalty is £49.95 per location and Smart website is £12.95, all before VAT. Payment processing and marketplace fees are excluded.

Questions

Common questions

Facials and skincare

Can Cobbtree prevent two therapists from booking the same room?

Yes. Cobbtree checks both professional and resource availability before offering a time.

Can I sell treatment packages and skincare products?

Yes. Packages, services and retail products can stay connected to the client and the same checkout.

Getting started

How long does it take to set up?

Add your locations, services and team, and most salons are ready to take bookings the same day. Early Founders Access gives the first 20 approved businesses 4 months of Cobbtree free. That replaces the standard 60-day trial - you do not get both.

Can I move from Fresha?

Yes - upload your Fresha export and Cobbtree imports your clients, services, team and appointment history automatically, flagging anything it needs you to check before it goes live.

Payments & fees

How much does Cobbtree charge on card payments?

Card payments run through your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its published rate for the card used. Cobbtree adds nothing on top and never holds your takings.

Can I take a deposit or charge for a late cancellation?

Yes - set a deposit on any service, and set a cancellation notice window with a fee. If a client cancels inside the window, Cobbtree charges the card they saved when they agreed to your policy.

Can I take cards without a card machine?

Yes. Tap to Pay in the Cobbtree Business app takes a contactless card or wallet on a compatible iPhone or Android, in the salon or on the go. At the desk, Cobbtree Pay Terminal takes tap, chip and PIN. Both go on the same till ticket and pay out through Cobbtree Pay.
