It is very user friendly and easy to set up and maintain. The Reporting even in the core system is more than adequate. The Help Center and Knowledge base are brilliant and there are abundant videos on Youtube to help one set up all functionality. > > **Cons**: Fresha has built its reputation and user base on the premise that it was "Free"software. However over time they have slowly removed some of the "Free" functionality and started charging. One example being the calculation of Commission which was incorporated into the Payroll module that is not compatible in South Africa. In addition On-line payments which is a must in our indusrty is not available locally. Now giving a full ONE months notice they will start to charge a monthly subscriptions from 1st August 2025 for core features at R90 per person available for bookings. Unfortunately as the software and your data is held in the cloud you will no longer have access after this date. > > It has helped our business dramatically I now have immediate and total control of my finances. We have recently started using the marketing functionallity and it is impressive. ----- ### "Fuss Free version" — 4.0/5 > **Mel** | *01 December 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The free version is easy to use and not too limiting. Almost as good as a paid system > > **Cons**: Hard to navigate to notes etc. lots of clicks to get to where you need to go. > > It is an easy to use system once you get your head around it, has many free features that allow for the smooth running of our salon. Easy product orders and input of stock, good client information features. Would definitely recommend. ----- ### "Buyer’s Remorse" — 3.0/5 > **Pamela** | *05 March 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for your money is good for a small business. Scheduling is pretty standard. Reporting is average with some critical misses > > **Cons**: No cost of products sold report. They say they provide but you need to pull data from 2 different reports and unfortunately our inventory report has negative costs which they can’t explain. The data transfer process was a mess that required us to do a lot of manual fixing. Fresha blamed on our data however we did data capture before the transfer and know that is not the case. In 1 year we’ve had at least 3 different account reps and responded back is slow or doesn’t happen at all. > > It’s not a complex system which is appealing to a small business along with the cost, however there are some usability issues that could be easily be fixed if they had good product \[sensitive content hidden\] and tech support. ----- ### "A must have for any business" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use this as a client, and it is so easy and painless to use, I can't imagine not using it at all. I owed my nail technician extra money, and I was able to tip through the app instead of having to mess around with going in and using card machines. It also updates my appointments and keeps them all in one place, so they're easy to view and manage. > > **Cons**: I initially struggled to find services that I wanted in my area, but this is no longer an issue after recent Fresha updates which make the app extremely easy and convenient to use. I wish more businesses used it\! > > A must have for any independent business owner - it is so easy for a client to use and to have a clear overview on what a business can offer. Booking appointments has never been easier\! ----- ### "Fresha Than The Rest\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alyx** | *23 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the design, colors, and the feminine feel it gives off when you’re getting “it done”\!\!\! > > **Cons**: I don’t have anything specific I don’t like about them. ----- Page: 1 / 59\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142138/shedul-com?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142138/shedul-com) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
