Clients who ask before booking
Many people want to know what a session is like. If the answer lives in your DMs, some never get past the question.

A calm booking page for Reiki practitioners
Your sessions are quiet and one to one, often booked by people who are nervous to ask. A simple, calm page makes saying yes easier.
- 0% commission on every booking, including a first booking. CA$29 a month for the Founding 50, then CA$49, one price for the whole team.
- Live in 48 hours from your Fresha export: booking page, calendar and reminders. Card payments start when you are ready: connect Stripe, or keep your current card machine and record payments in Fairbooked.
What gets in the way for Reiki and energy practitioners
Gaps and clusters in the week
A calm practice has long gaps and a few full afternoons. When you do not control open times, you never get time to reset.
Loud software for a quiet practice
Many tools push banners, offers and marketplace discounts. That sits badly with a practice built on calm.
How Fairbooked fits Reiki and energy practitioners
A plain page in your own words
Describe each session in the service description, where clients read it as they choose. Your own link keeps the page quiet.
A settling gap between clients
Add a buffer after each session so the room is calm for the next person. Open times show live, and nobody is booked twice.
A distance option too
List a video session as its own service, with its own length and price. Reminders go by email and text either way.

Your maths, on a CA$90 Reiki session
Fresha lists 20% on a new marketplace client's first booking (minimum CA$6): CA$18.00. We take 0%. For an in-person card Fresha lists 2.29% + CA$0.20, Interac included: CA$2.26. A Stripe Interac tap is CA$0.15. The calculator below opens on 40 card visits a month and one person; change any number to match yours.
What would Fresha cost you, next to us?
Put in your own numbers. We work out Fresha's monthly bill from its published prices, and ours as Stripe's card rates plus our flat monthly price, and show every line of both. The figures start on an example reiki and energy practitioner.

Savings = Fresha's total minus ours = CA$33.32 a month, times 12 = CA$399.84 a year. We assume 85% of card volume is taken in person and the rest online, that 45% of it is Interac debit in person at CA$0.15 a tap, and that the number of payments is card volume divided by your average ticket.
What this does and does not include
- Fresha's prices are the ones on its own pricing page as of September 2026, and it can change them. Check fresha.com/pricing before you decide anything.
- Fresha says its 20% new-client fee applies only to clients who first find you on its marketplace, and that returning clients pay nothing. Enter only the clients you would expect Fresha to count. Fresha also says the fee has a maximum cap that its pricing page does not state, so on large tickets we may overstate it.
- We leave out Fresha's per-tap surcharge, text messages beyond the free allowance, premium support, add-ons and terminal hardware. Every one of those makes Fresha dearer, so leaving them out favours Fresha.
- Taxes are excluded on both sides. Payout timing, chargebacks and your bank's own fees are not modelled.
- The savings estimate uses Stripe's published Canadian card rates (2.7% + CA$0.05 in person, CA$0.15 flat for Interac debit, 2.9% + CA$0.30 online), paid to Stripe directly; we make nothing on card payments. It is modelled on a typical Toronto card mix (45% Interac debit in person, the rest credit), so your real Stripe bill will differ with your own mix. Rates read from stripe.com/en-ca/pricing in September 2026; check the page before you decide.
- Card reader optional for deposits and no-show fees. For in-person tap checkout, Stripe readers from about CA$79 (Bluetooth) or CA$419 (countertop, S700).
- We launch in Toronto first. The savings estimate is modelled with Stripe's Canadian rates, in Canadian dollars. UK and US figures reuse the same Canadian model and the same subscription number in local currency as an indication only. Fresha's UK prices are unverified: we could only read them on two competitor sites.
