Tattoo Studio Pro vs Fresha
On November 8, 2026, Fresha’s pricing page returned HTTP 200. The page payload names the price set United States and the currency USD. The prices below are that set. The page says rates are exclusive of local sales taxes.
Independent and Team
The page says that as you expand, it charges for each bookable team member. A separate line says enterprise solutions are available for high-volume businesses with over 20 team members. That line does not print a price.
| Plan | Who the page describes | Price | Trial line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent | One-person businesses. The compare table says 1 team member. | $19.95 per month | The card says 7 day trial |
| Team | Multiple bookable team members. The compare table says Unlimited. | $14.95 per bookable team member, monthly | The card says 7 day trial |
The FAQ says there is no minimum commitment and you can cancel any time. It also says businesses with teams can use a 7-day trial and that no credit card is required for that trial. The Independent card prints a 7 day trial and does not say whether a card is required. This post does not fill that gap.
The compare table marks Consultation forms on both plans. The page does not describe a tattoo consent form. A check on that row is not a finding that the form matches another product.
Marketplace fee, then the Team commission row
The marketplace section says a one-time fee applies to a brand new client who discovers the business through the Fresha marketplace. The printed fee is a 20% one-time commission, and a minimum of $6 per client applies. Returning marketplace clients have no fee. The FAQ says Fresha does not charge a booking fee on each appointment, and that new clients who find you through your own website, Instagram, or Facebook are not charged that marketplace fee.
The page uses the word commission for that marketplace fee. The compare table uses a different row, Sales commissions. Independent shows a dash on Sales commissions. Team shows a check. The FAQ says the Team plan includes commission tracking, a multi-user calendar, and timesheets. The dash is a plan flag on Independent. It is not a finding that Fresha has no commission tool, and the 20% line is not that Team row.
The visible marketplace lines do not say what dollar amount the 20% multiplies, and they do not print a worked example. This post does not invent one.
Card rates printed for this price set
The payments section prints these rates. The page repeats that section, and both copies show the same figures. This read did not find a separate card rate for Independent versus Team.
| Line | Rate on the page |
|---|---|
| Online payments | 2.79% + $0.20 per transaction |
| In-person payments | 2.29% + $0.20 per transaction |
| Tap to pay | +$0.10 per authorization |
| Klarna Buy Now Pay Later | 5.99% + $0.30 per transaction |
| Manual card entry | 3.30% + $0.20 per transaction |
Terminal devices are “From $139” per device on Independent. On Team the cell says free, subject to processing volumes. The FAQ says you can use Fresha without using Fresha to process payments.
Messages and optional add-ons
The cells say “Free unlimited” for automated email notifications and for automated mobile app notifications, on both plans. Text and WhatsApp notifications are 100 free a month on Independent, then $0.02 per text, or $0.04 to $0.11 per WhatsApp. On Team the allowance is 100 free per team member a month, then the same unit prices.
Marketing emails are 50 free a month on Independent, then $0.02 per email, and 50 free per team member on Team, then $0.02. Marketing texts are $0.08 per text on both plans.
These are the printed unit prices. The page says rates are exclusive of local sales taxes.
Optional add-ons, each at the price the page prints:
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| AI Concierge, messaging only | $29.95 per location, monthly. The page says unlimited messaging. |
| AI Concierge, calls and messaging | $99.95 per location, monthly. The page says unlimited messaging, 200 minutes included, then $0.60 a minute. |
| Client Loyalty | $59.95 per location, monthly |
| Google Rating Boost | $14.95 per location, monthly |
| Team Connect | $2.95 per team member, monthly |
| Insights | $9.95 per bookable team member, monthly |
| Data Connector | $295 per location, monthly |
| Smart Website | $15.95 monthly |
The prices in that table are optional add-ons. They are not part of the $19.95 or $14.95 subscription line.
Meta Pixel Ads and Google Analytics are marked free. That mark is separate from the priced add-ons.
Two examples that keep the printed price
Assume the United States price set, one bookable person, the Independent plan, priced add-ons off, and no extra messages past the free allowance. The subscription line stays $19.95 a month. Rates are exclusive of local sales taxes, so $19.95 is not a tax-inclusive total.
Assume the Team plan and 3 bookable team members, priced add-ons off. The card price stays $14.95 per bookable team member. Three times $14.95 is $44.85 a month, before those taxes. The example does not say three Team seats match another product’s plan.
What Tattoo Studio Pro’s help documents
Solo is $29 a month or $239 a year for 1 team member. Every feature is on every plan. Yearly billing costs less than paying monthly. Other team sizes are on the pricing page. On the web, an extra spot is $15 a month or $125 a year. Managers and health officials do not count.
The subscription includes website hosting. You claim it in the account portal. The $10 a month or $100 a year hosting card shows as included. It is not a second bill.
Help does not print a Tattoo Studio Pro percent on a client’s deposit. Card payments go through the studio’s Stripe account. That is Stripe’s processing on the studio’s account, not a percent copied from Stripe’s public price page. Recording a Square or Clover sale is Other Processor. Checkout is on the point of sale page.
Commission is a report of what an artist is owed. It does not pay the artist. Help does not call that payroll. Fresha’s 20% marketplace line is a new-client acquisition fee. Fresha’s Sales commissions row is a Team plan flag. Neither one is this report.
Consent forms are on every plan. Parent or guardian fields appear on the in-studio form when the client is under 18. The public online check-in link cannot capture that consent. The consent form article is the longer page.
Appointment messages are a confirmation text and up to 5 reminder texts. Help does not state a per-text price. Fresha’s text allowances and per-text prices above are Fresha’s.
The trial is 30 days. A payment method is required. You are not charged until it ends.
FAQ
Which Fresha price set is this?
The November 8, 2026 open of the pricing page. The page payload names United States and USD. Dollar signs in the sections above are that set. The page says rates are exclusive of local sales taxes.
What do Independent and Team cost?
Independent is $19.95 a month for one team member. Team is $14.95 a month per bookable team member, and the member-count cell says Unlimited. Enterprise, for businesses with over 20 team members, has no price on the page.
Is the 20% artist commission?
The marketplace section calls a new marketplace client fee a 20% one-time commission, with a $6 minimum. The page does not say what amount the 20% multiplies. Sales commissions are a different row: a dash on Independent and a check on Team. Tattoo Studio Pro’s commission screen reports what an artist is owed and does not pay the artist.
What card rates are printed?
Online payments are 2.79% + $0.20. In-person payments are 2.29% + $0.20. Tap to pay adds $0.10 per authorization. Klarna is 5.99% + $0.30. Manual card entry is 3.30% + $0.20. The repeated payments section shows the same figures. This read did not find a separate card rate for Independent versus Team. Terminals start at $139 per device on Independent. The Team cell says free, subject to processing volumes.
What does a dash on the compare table mean?
It is the mark in that plan’s cell. Independent’s dash on Sales commissions, wages, pay runs, and timesheets sits next to a check on Team. The dash does not mean the product lacks the row on every plan.
What does the trial say?
Both cards say 7 day trial. The FAQ’s no-credit-card sentence is about businesses with teams. The Independent card does not say whether a card is required.
What does Tattoo Studio Pro cost for one person?
Solo is $29 a month or $239 a year, with website hosting included. The trial is 30 days and a payment method is required. This post does not subtract that price from Fresha’s.
