Pricing and commercial model

Treatwell’s UK partner pricing presents Freelancer and Advanced plans but does not publish one universal monthly figure. Ask Treatwell for the plan and terms that apply to your business. Treatwell states a 35% commission for an eligible brand-new client’s first Marketplace booking and 0% commission on repeat bookings; eligibility and location can affect the terms.
Online booking and diary
Both platforms offer online booking, calendar and customer history. Velixa provides a hosted site and widget; Treatwell lists website/social Book Now routes alongside its Marketplace listing.
Payments and no-show protection
Velixa saves a card at booking and supports eligible cancellation/no-show charges under the business policy. Treatwell lists online prepayments at 2.5% plus VAT and its payment routes such as card machine, Tap to Pay and online processing; those fees should be checked against current payment terms.
Staff and team management
Velixa includes staff diaries, rotas, per-stylist pricing and multi-location tools. Treatwell’s Advanced plan says it includes unlimited staff, which may be relevant for a team seeking a plan-led setup.
Client management
Velixa provides client records, notes, consent-aware campaigns and intake forms. Treatwell lists client history, staff management, reviews, notifications and reporting.
Reminders and marketing
Velixa includes email reminders, with optional paid SMS credits. Treatwell lists notifications, marketing and promotions; confirm messaging allowances or charges in its latest plan documents.
Memberships, loyalty, gift cards and packages
Velixa includes memberships, prepaid packages, gift cards and loyalty. Treatwell’s public partner pages highlight Marketplace, bookings, marketing and payments; confirm the availability of any specific loyalty or membership workflow before relying on it.
POS and inventory
Velixa offers inventory and retail checkout as a paid add-on. Treatwell lists POS and product-sales functionality.
Website, booking page and widget
Velixa offers a hosted branded website and widget. Treatwell supports business website/social booking routes, while its Marketplace can add a separate discovery surface.
Marketplace and client discovery
Treatwell has a consumer Marketplace. It says a 35% commission applies to a first booking by an eligible brand-new client introduced through Marketplace and that repeat bookings attract 0% commission. Direct bookings through the salon’s own website, social links or client records are described separately, so check the attribution rules that apply to your business. Velixa currently focuses on direct booking, but plans to release a Marketplace; no launch date has been set.
Mobile access
Velixa provides iOS and Android merchant apps. Treatwell describes cloud/mobile access for its business tools.
Who Velixa may suit
Velixa may suit businesses concentrating on their own website, direct customer relationship and a flat displayed subscription rather than a Marketplace acquisition route.
Who Treatwell may suit
Treatwell may suit a salon that actively wants a consumer Marketplace to introduce new clients and is comfortable reviewing the commission and plan terms that apply.
Switching checklist
Compare the source of your new bookings, not just your total booking volume. Review any Marketplace attribution, payment setup, client data export and website Book Now links before moving systems.
