When to pick Fresha
If you need new clients from a marketplace and card payments, Fresha covers that and Belanote does not at launch. For one professional Fresha charges a monthly fee, and messages beyond the free allowance are paid separately.
When to pick Belanote
If you work where the internet is unreliable, or simply want your clients, formulas and signed consents on your phone without a network, Belanote was built for that. Reminders on Telegram are free and unlimited.
How to switch from Fresha
CSV import of clients is planned soon after launch. Until then you can add clients by hand; the first 15 in Belanote are free, forever.
