New Clients And Boost
Boost is charged per new client, not per month, so no monthly table can show it. Booksy takes 30% of a Boost client's first visit, up to $100: $36 on a $120 first visit and $100 on a $400 first visit. Nothing is charged on clients who find you another way, or while Boost is off.
Fidden charges nothing extra for a new client. Momentum and Icon take no commission on any booking; Foundation takes its 7% on every booking, new or returning, so a $120 first visit costs $8.40 there against $36 in Boost.
This compares fees, not features. Booksy's plan includes its consumer marketplace and 2,000 marketing texts a month. Fidden's plans add Fidda, its AI business partner, with deposits at booking on every plan and no booking fee for your clients.

| Booksy $29.99/month, 2.49% + 10¢ $29.99 plan, $131.17 fees, $45.00 new clients | $29.99 | $131.17 | $45.00 | $206.16 |
| Fidden Foundation Free, 9.7% + 15¢ $0.00 plan, $495.00 fees, $0.00 new clients | $0.00 | $495.00 | $0.00 | $495.00 |
