Ownership audit · Booksy

Booksy has more of your data
than you have of your clients.

You pay 130 PLN/mo to keep your patient records on someone else's server. See exactly what stays with Booksy when you leave, and what you will never be able to take out of there.

You can access through the Booksy panel

  • Client list (name + phone + email) CSV export in 2 clicks, fine
  • Appointment calendar with date history who was there and when, in the panel view
  • Revenue and visit statistics only while the subscription is active
  • Ability to take bookings as long as you pay 130 PLN/mo

What you walk away with

  • Patient before/after photos stay in Booksy, no bulk download
  • Treatment plans, notes, allergies a CSV export only returns the raw fields
  • Treatment history (what, when, how much it cost) Booksy does not export service history
  • Clients who found you through Booksy.com they look for the salon on Booksy, not with you

Migration in 3 stages

You do not drop Booksy in a single day.
You move hybrid, safely.

The most common fear: 'my clients disappeared when I left Booksy'. The solution is gradual migration. Booksy keeps running, in parallel your records catch the new ones. Only after 3 months do you switch off the subscription.

  1. 01

    Week 1-2

    Launch in parallel with Booksy

    I build your records and import the database from Booksy (CSV file). Booksy keeps running in parallel, no break in client service.

    • Import of the client database from Booksy (CSV file)
    • Records go live on a Polish server
    • Your panel training (45 min)
    Booksy still active · clients feel nothing
  2. 02

    Month 1-3

    In parallel: new clients with you, old ones stay

    New clients sign up through your records (link on the Google profile, on social media). Old clients still book through Booksy. Slow transfer of the history.

    • Before/after photos of new treatments already in your database
    • SMS reminders from your number, not from Booksy
    • Clients see that you have your own system, which builds your image
    Booksy still paid, but 30-50% of visits already in your panel
  3. 03

    Month 4+

    Booksy off · 130 PLN/mo stays in your pocket

    All active clients are booking with you. You switch off the Booksy subscription, 130 PLN × 12 = 1,560 PLN/year stays with you. The setup pays back in 5-7 months (Solo).

    • Cancel Booksy, no penalties, no annual contracts
    • Full data ownership, GDPR compliance
    • Room to extend (custom fields, integrations, your branding)

A typical migration: the biggest job is the before/after photos, because Booksy does not export them in bulk (you have to pull them off each card). The end state: 4 specialists in one panel, each sees only their own clients, plus a reception role. 520 PLN/mo stays in the till.

  • 4 permission levels in the panel: owner (full access), 3× specialist (only their own clients + photos), reception (calendar, no photos).
  • Custom "skin type" field: you filter clients for a campaign (e.g. retinol therapy) and send an SMS only to the selected group.
  • Payback ~9-10 months: the cost of Team divided by the disappearing Booksy subscription (520 PLN/mo). The higher the subscription, the faster the payback.
  • GDPR compliance: client data on a Polish server, before/after photos encrypted, consent collected digitally.

"What if..."
five fears we hear most often.

A migration from Booksy raises specific fears among beauty and dermatology specialists. Every fear has a real answer.

„My clients found me through Booksy.com, what if I leave and they stop coming?”

Answer

If Booksy is the only source of clients, the risk is real (5-15% of clients). But in practice 80% of salons get most of their clients from referrals / Google / Instagram, and Booksy only adds a thin layer. Hybrid migration: you keep Booksy for 6-12 months in parallel, you measure how many clients come from Booksy vs your own database, and only then you decide.

„I have 3 years of history in Booksy, it will not fit into a new system.”

Answer

I import the client database from a Booksy CSV file at no extra cost (names, phone numbers, email, last visit). Before/after photos unfortunately Booksy does not export in bulk, that has to be done by hand. I provide a tool to upload many photos at once (you drag a folder, the system recognises the client from the file name). A one-person salon is 4-8 hours of work. A studio is 1-2 days.

„Clients will not learn a new booking system, they will drop off.”

Answer

For the client the experience is the same: she opens a link, picks a date and time, enters her number, gets an SMS. Even simpler, because there is no Booksy login.

„And if your server goes down? With Booksy I know someone takes care of it.”

Answer

A server in Poland has 99.9%+ uptime guarantees (comparable with Booksy). Daily database backups. Plus: Tech Care 399 PLN/mo covers monitoring and response within 8h. An outage can happen, but your database is backed up anyway, so at most 1-2h of downtime per year.

„I work alone, is this not too much for me?”

Answer

One person with 200-500 clients: cost 4 499 PLN vs Booksy 130×12 = 1,560 PLN/year. Payback in 2-3 years. On top of that: full data ownership (if you sell the salon, the records go with you), no risk of price hikes, custom fields for your treatments. If you plan to keep growing for more than 3 years, it pays off. If "maybe I will quit in six months", stay on Booksy.
