Buklot vs Booksy
Buklot vs Booksy: own your salon's website, or rent a profile?
Booksy is a booking marketplace. It can help new clients find you, but your site is really a profile on their app, your client list lives on their servers, and the same marketplace shows your competitors to the people you brought in. Buklot is your own website, shop and admin, with no commission and nothing rented.
