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. ----- ### "Fresha - free version review" — 4.0/5 > **Salina** | *12 November 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: That it has a free version with enough of the capability > > **Cons**: The new updates that then cost. The thing that would make fresha perform better would be a place where you can store client service chemical history. It would be so helpfull to have this information be able to be noted on the clients file. To print this off or to have a stylist app that could be used for consultations that updates the clients file would be next level\!\! > > I use the free version which means little contact with the fresha team. Just the odd email here and there offering assistance if needed. I like it this way ----- ### "Dissapointed long term foundational member" — 1.0/5 > **Kirsty** | *30 September 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use format for basic use, but no longer available so now nothing to like, and currently moving over to square appointments much fairer plans etc > > **Cons**: The companies deceptive and missleading business practices, and agressively rude communication style. no longer includes any basic plan available for sole traders just wanting basic features. > > Dissapointing. Unfair and unsolicited charges. Missleading and deceptive conduct. Not to be trusted. Have contacted my clients in Australia asking for tips, random charges processed that did not exist, promised free forever accounts for initial features such as calander bookings and unlimited reminder texts, to foundational early members 8 to 10 years ago that they are not honouring. ----- ### "Reliable and Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Mohini** | *07 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Booking \& payments easy, reduces no-shows with automated reminders, and helps attract new clients. It saves time, keeps everything organised, and supports business growth.” > > **Cons**: While some features come with additional costs, Fresha remains easy to use and beneficial for day-to-day operations. > > I’ve had a positive experience with Fresha it keeps my business organised and running smoothly. Fresha has been easy to use and helpful for managing bookings and clients. ----- ### "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. ----- 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
