Real Business Owner Reviews

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real business owners discovered about marketplace platforms:

•Capterra•2025

"Despite providing screenshots and direct confirmations from my clients showing they found my business through Google searches or personal referrals, Fresha continued charging hundreds of pounds monthly in unauthorized fees."

— Marina Y., Director, Medical Practice

•ProductReview Australia•November 2025

"I ended up to pay around AUD 2,000 for the “New Fresha customer introduction fee”, while most of them were searching for my salon via Google, Instagram, Facebook, some of them were introduced by their friends or relatives, some of them even my past customers"

— Andy, Business Owner, NSW, Australia

•Capterra•2025

"Money means more to them than customers, when you realise what thrives they are it's too late, they have your hard earned money they don't care that'll you'll leave as there will be more lured in by their tricks."

— Rozlyn H., Business Owner, Health, Wellness and Fitness

•ProductReview Australia•Nov 2025

"I've been using Fresha for about 4 years now, and I've put up with the ever increasing charges and fees. 20% 'finders fee' for all new clients, even if they find you through facebook, instagram or google ( which I have all 3)"

— Skye, Business Owner, Australia

•Capterra•Oct 2024

"However, they have added fee after fee for their 'lifetime' free clients. We are the ones that have helped sort out the kinks. They take 20% for new clients. Do NOT have your clients book online. You HAVE to book them manually at first or you will lose any profit or break even per appointment."

— Day C., Business Owner, Retail

🎯 WHAT THESE REVIEWS REVEAL:

  • ✓Multiple business owners providing proof (screenshots, customer confirmations)
  • ✓Platforms charging commission on Google, Instagram, and referral traffic
  • ✓"New customer" fees applied to existing community members
  • ✓Thousands of dollars per year in unauthorized charges
  • ✓Attribution theft across different continents (UK, Australia, North America)

These aren't isolated incidents. This is how marketplace platforms operate.

The question is: Are you being charged the same way?
