Booksy alternative for home service pros
Zippy Pro vs Booksy
Booksy Biz is appointment-booking software and a marketplace built for salons, barbers, nail and brow studios, massage and spa businesses.
Zippy Pro is the app for home-service pros: customers book and pay on zippydoes.com, Zippy prices the job and gathers the details, and you claim the job with one tap and get paid when you finish — for $2/mo, deducted from the first job you complete each month — nothing in a month you don’t work.

Which one is right for you?
Booksy is probably the right call if…
- •You cut hair, do nails or lashes, or run a spa or massage studio
- •Your clients come to you and book appointments at a shop
Zippy Pro is the right call if…
- •You do home services — cleaning, lawn care, dog waste removal, trash bins — and go to the customer
- •You want the job priced, booked, paid and documented without a card reader or a profile to maintain
- •You want customers in your area to find you where they already book home services
Using both
You don’t have to choose on day one. Keep Booksy if it’s working, give your customers your personal Zippy link, and let Zippy price, book and collect for the jobs that come through it. Those jobs are reserved for you first, and new Zippy customers in your area show up on your map too. Zippy charges nothing in a month you don’t complete a job.
