Why BeNotely

Why businesses choose BeNotely over Fresha

Three differences that show up in how your week actually runs, and you can see all of them for yourself in 30 days.

Your clients, not a marketplace's

On Fresha your business sits inside a consumer marketplace, shown beside other businesses, and new clients who book through it carry a commission. BeNotely has no marketplace at all. The people who book are yours, and you never pay a percentage for them.

A website that's actually yours

You get a full business website on your own domain, drafted from your own services and photos, with booking built into every page. It's the front door of your business, not a profile inside someone else's app.

A flat price, nothing off the top

You pay a simple subscription, or nothing at all on the free plan. Because BeNotely takes 0% of your bookings, a busy month costs you exactly the same as a quiet one.

Questions, answered

Getting started, pricing and the fair print, in plain words.

What's the catch with software that takes commission?+

There isn't a catch so much as a trade. Software funded by marketplace commission earns more when it sends you clients, so the platform has a reason to keep your customers looking at the platform. BeNotely earns from a flat subscription instead, which means we only do well if the software itself is worth paying for. Your clients are simply yours.

Does BeNotely have a marketplace?+

No, and that's deliberate. Your business is never listed beside competitors, and you never pay a commission on a client. Your booking page and website are your own, and everyone who books through them belongs to you. You win new clients through your own website, your Google listing and your own marketing, and you keep everything they spend.

Does BeNotely charge commission on my bookings?+

Never. BeNotely takes 0% of your bookings on every plan. You pay a flat subscription, or nothing at all on the free plan, and when a customer pays a deposit that money is yours and lands in your own account. We earn from the subscription, never from a cut of your work.

Can I bring my existing clients across?+

Yes. Adding a customer takes seconds per person and a name alone is enough to start a record, with the details following later. Your client book also fills itself as you go, because a record is created the first time anyone books. And nothing is ever locked in: your client book exports whenever you want it.

What does BeNotely cost?+

There's a real free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI assistant, no card required. Paid plans start at $29 AUD a month for one person taking bookings and from $69 for a team, GST included. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on.

Can I try BeNotely before I decide?+

Yes, and without a card. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on, so you can set it up properly, take real bookings and see how it fits your business before paying anything. There are no lock-in contracts and you can cancel any time. Every new account is also offered a free 15-minute setup call if you'd like a hand.

Is BeNotely built for Australia?+

Yes. It's built in Melbourne, and it shows in the details: pricing in Australian dollars with GST included, text messages to Australian mobiles, support from people who know the local market, and your money paid into your own Australian bank account.

Your clients, your brand, your business

Free for 30 days with everything switched on. No card, no lock-in contracts, and your booking page can be live this afternoon.
