Common questions
Answers for a practical decision.
Is Sovelanta an alternative to Fresha?
Yes, if you need online booking, staff and location schedules, clients, reminders, studio tools, and business planning. Fresha currently offers broader payment, marketplace, membership, and retail tools.
Does Sovelanta charge a new-client marketplace fee?
No. Sovelanta does not run a consumer marketplace, so it does not charge a marketplace fee for new clients.
Can Sovelanta manage more than one location?
Yes. Team includes up to 3 locations, and Business includes up to 10.
Can clients book online?
Yes. Clients can use a public booking link without entering the private staff workspace.
Does Sovelanta work for wellness studios?
Yes. It supports appointment-based wellness businesses with staff schedules, rooms, service lengths, time between appointments, clients, and reminders.
