What are the key differences between Fresha and Phorest?
If you’re on the lookout for new software for your salon or clinic you’re in the right place. We’re here to unpick some of the key differences between Fresha and Phorest so that you can decide which is the best fit for your business.
While we’re here, we’re also going to throw another name in the mix – Pabau.
Fresha is designed for the beauty and wellness industry and is a subscription-free model. However, they do charge commission fees. Customers get unlimited bookings, locations, team members and notifications and they help businesses boost sales and attract new clients via online bookings through Google search, Facebook and Instagram.
Now let’s take a look at Phorest. Phorest is an all-in-one solution that, in their words, “enables hair, beauty, or personal services businesses to reach their full potential.” Headquartered out of Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, Phorest supports businesses with online salon booking features, team management, reporting, and marketing features.
Pabau is an all-in-one clinic management software specifically designed for medi aesthetic clinics. With clients all over the world, Pabau provides everything clinics need to reduce time spent on admin, improve the patient experience, and attract new customers. Because it’s purpose-built for med spas, it has key features that this client base will find particularly valuable.
The best software understands you, your business, and your challenges. Pabau has been built to meet the needs of media-aesthetic operators, not hair or beauty salons. That’s why it has features that have been created specifically for this sector, such as automated pre-care and aftercare emails, electronic medical records (EMR), before and after photos, injection plotting, customizable forms, and so on. At Pabau, we get you.
Pabau isn’t the cheapest software on the market. But the great thing is you won’t need anything else as, in the words of one of our customers, “Pabau does it all.” While choosing Fresha means you’ll probably need to budget for additional tools, such as email marketing or online forms, this isn’t the case with Pabau. And because we’re so feature-rich, as your business grows, we’ll grow with you.
Phorest and Fresha have great integrations for salons, but choosing Pabau means you’ll have access to the integrations that medi aesthetic practitioners really need. Whether you need to connect the tech you use for prescriptions, the call agent software you use for leads, or third-party insurance, Pabau will enable you to do it quickly and easily. Plus, you’ll also find the mainstays like Xero, MailChimp, and Stripe too.
When you get a five-star review, you want to make sure it’s added to your website asap, right? In Pabau, we make that process as easy as possible. Whereas other platforms like Phorest require you to publish reviews manually, in Pabau, you can do it automatically. The result is that your latest and greatest reviews are always on show on your site, so you can build your social proof and win more customers from the competition.
Clinics need to collect a LOT of documentation before an appointment, right? With Pabau, you don’t have to break a sweat trying to remember everything. You can simply use our app to ensure you have up-to-date health records, signed medical consents, and photos. Not every provider has this functionality, but we know how needed by med spa practitioners. Not only does it protect the client, it also protects your business.
[Pabau] makes things so much easier in terms of your medical records, diary management, your reporting system, and that’s really very important for a business.
“After 16 years of using about 20 different client management software systems, this is the only one I can honestly say does it all, and does it all very well.”
Roxanne Merchant,
Head of Operations, Juvea Medical
“Pabau is feature-rich, allowing us functionality to grow as our business needs grow, and at the same time quite intuitive to use. Competing software offerings can’t compete!”
Daniel, Doctor,
G2 review
“I’ve been in business for almost nine years. I’ve tried a lot of different software, but I was always missing some features. This software has everything that saves my time, keeps my records and medical forms in one place, and is easy to use.”
Angelina, Owner
