Booked vs Booksy

Booksy is a consumer marketplace with booking software attached. Booked is booking software with no marketplace. If you want your clients to arrive through your own link and stay yours, that difference is the whole decision.

Questions

Can I keep my existing clients if I move off Booksy?
Yes. Export your client list, import the CSV into Booked, and send your new booking link. Your clients rebook through the link instead of the app.
Will I lose new-client discovery?
Honestly, yes — that is the trade. Booked has no marketplace. If a meaningful share of your new clients come from browsing inside Booksy, weigh that against what the listing costs you.
