Fresha can show a lower subscription than Vagaro and still cost more once a new client comes through its marketplace. That fee is published. Vagaro’s marketplace fee is not.
The published start is the list price for one calendar. The note has an introductory rate for the first six months and a per-calendar charge after the first, described up to seven calendars.
The published start is the Independent plan for one person. Team is priced per bookable team member. New marketplace clients are a separate one-time fee in the note, not part of the subscription.

Fresha’s starting price on this sheet is $19.95/mo, the Independent plan for one person. Team is a separate per-person price in the note. Vagaro starts at $30/mo for one calendar, with a six-month promo and a per-calendar add-on in the note.
Fresha’s price note includes a one-time percentage fee on new marketplace clients, with a minimum. That is not the subscription. It applies when the new client is a marketplace client. Vagaro’s fit line says it has a consumer marketplace too. Its price note does not name a percentage. Do not assume the fee is zero, and do not assume it matches Fresha.
Both say you can leave without a long-term contract. Fresha: no minimum commitment, and a 7-day trial. Vagaro: cancel anytime, no cancellation fees, and a 30-day trial.
Fresha lists consultation forms, wages and pay runs on the Team plan, and marketing. Vagaro lists SOAP notes and forms, payroll, and marketing. Compare the plan you would buy. Independent is one person. Team is where Fresha’s payroll line points.
