Frequently asked questions
How much does barbershop software cost per month in the Netherlands?
Barbershop software in the Netherlands costs €26.50 to €80 per month on fixed plans. Salonized Pro sits at €59, Da Vinci starts at €27.95 plus add-ons and Zolmi charges €35 for one barber plus €6 per extra chair, so a five-chair shop runs near €59. CelerBook works without tiers: every feature for €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 per month plus €5 per active staff member. A solo barber never goes above €35.
What are the cheap barbershop software options for a self-employed barber?
The cheapest options for a solo barber in the Netherlands are EsSalon at €14.95 and 1Kappersoftware ZZP at €26.50 per month, both with limited features. CelerBook drops below those for smaller shops and still ships everything: at 60 appointments you pay €13.75; at 40 appointments €8.75. The rate is €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. First 5 appointments free every month.
Is there barbershop software without monthly fees, on a per-appointment basis?
Per-appointment pricing is rare in the Dutch barbershop market. Salonized, Da Vinci and Zolmi all charge a fixed monthly fee no matter how many cuts you do. CelerBook is one of the few that bills per appointment: €0.25 per booking, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. A quiet January with 40 appointments costs €8.75; a busy December cannot exceed €35 for a solo shop. No contract.
How much does a barbershop pay for online appointment software?
A Dutch barbershop with 2 chairs and 200 appointments per month typically pays €30 to €80 for online appointment software. Zolmi runs €41 for two barbers, Salonized Pro asks €59 flat. CelerBook caps at €40 per month for that same shop: €30 plus €5 per active staff member, so €30 + €10 = €40 with 2 barbers. First 5 appointments free every month, no contract.
What is the price of CelerBook for a barbershop?
CelerBook costs a barbershop €0.25 per appointment that takes place, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. A solo barber never goes above €35; with 2 barbers it is €40. At 20 appointments you pay 5 free plus 15 × €0.25 = €3.75. At 200 appointments in a two-chair shop you hit the €40 cap. No Starter or Pro tier, every shop gets all features from day one.
What is an alternative to Treatwell for a barbershop?
A flat-fee alternative to Treatwell for a barbershop is CelerBook or Salonized. Treatwell charges 35 percent commission on every new-client booking plus 2 percent transaction fees on online payments. It uses €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member, applied equally to new and returning clients. At 100 new-client cuts of €25 that is €30 versus €875 in commission via Treatwell. No contract.
Which barbershop software is cheaper than Salonized?
Cheaper than Salonized Pro at €59 per month are EsSalon at €14.95, 1Kappersoftware ZZP at €26.50 and Da Vinci base at €27.95. CelerBook fits here too: €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member for the full feature set. At 80 appointments for a solo barber that is €18.75 versus €59 at Salonized Pro. No contract, first 5 appointments free every month.
Best barbershop software compared: Da Vinci or CelerBook?
Da Vinci starts at €27.95 per month, but add-ons for SMS, online payments and marketing push it to roughly €60 per shop. CelerBook bundles those features into a single rate: €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. For a solo barbershop with 100 appointments that is €23.75 versus around €50 at Da Vinci with add-ons. No tiers, no annual contract, first 5 appointments free every month.
Can barbershop software give each barber a separate calendar?
Yes, a calendar per barber is standard in modern barbershop software. CelerBook gives each barber their own working hours, their own services and their own prices, so a senior beard trim can be €30 while a junior charges €22. Clients pick a barber first during booking and then see only that barber's free slots. The cap scales with you: €30 plus €5 per active staff member. No contract.
Does online booking for barbershops work on weekends and at night?
Yes, online booking for a barbershop runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when the shop is closed. CelerBook respects per-barber working hours and blocks closed times automatically, so clients see no Sunday or post-19:00 slots unless that barber is on. Treatwell research shows 35 percent of online bookings happen outside opening hours, mostly between 19:00 and 23:00. No contract.
Which barbershop software supports walk-ins and scheduled appointments together?
A hybrid flow of walk-ins and online appointments is common in Dutch barbershops. CelerBook offers a walk-in mode where the front desk drops a booking into the calendar in 5 seconds. Online scheduled bookings share the same weekly view, so a walk-in cannot double-book a reserved slot. Clients pay in the shop, no online deposit. Rate: €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. No contract.
Does barbershop software comply with GDPR for client data?
Barbershop software running inside the EU must comply with GDPR for client data, access requests and deletion requests. CelerBook hosts data in Germany at Hetzner and signs a data processing agreement at signup. The barbershop is the data controller; the software vendor is the processor. Retention is 7 years for accounting, 5 years for reservations. Rate: €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member. No contract.
