Two things to understand: your monthly subscription, and the small fee on each completed booking. That's it. No hidden charges, no shock commissions.
An active subscription keeps your profile listed and lets you accept bookings. Pay monthly or save by paying annually. Clients always browse for free.

Annual
Save over $20 per year
Annual plan saves you over $20 per year. At $9.99/month you would pay $119.88 over 12 months. The annual plan costs $99 — a saving of $20.88. No lock-in beyond the billing year.
When a booking is completed and paid, BookGlowi deducts a small flat percentage. This is the only fee on bookings. No payment processing surcharge on top. No hidden charges. You always know exactly what you'll receive before confirming a booking.

This is the only fee on bookings. No payment processing fee on top. No per-appointment charge. No tipping fee. Payouts go directly to your connected bank account after each completed service. Tips are not subject to the booking fee.
Other platforms charge in three separate ways. BookGlowi keeps it simple — and far cheaper.
StyleSeat and Booksy both run discovery networks. When they send you a client you didn't find yourself, they charge you up to 30% of that booking on top of your monthly subscription and payment processing fee. That means on a $100 appointment, you could pay $30 in commission before any other fees are counted.
BookGlowi never charges a new client commission. Every client you book through BookGlowi costs you the same flat fee — whether it's your first client or your thousandth.
