"Finally, a modern booking system that doesn’t take a cut of our revenue."

5/5

What do you like best about Vaba.Spot?

1. Truly zero-commission, transparent pricing: We pay a flat, fair monthly fee per venue—no sneaky percentage cuts and no surprise transaction markups.

2. Seamless website & WordPress widget: Adding the booking modal to our website took about five minutes. It feels like a natural part of our brand, supports multiple languages (Estonian, Finnish, English), and keeps clients on our site instead of sending them elsewhere.

3. Direct bank payments & gift cards: Clients can pay right away using their local bank link or redeem gift cards, including split payments. This helps our cash flow because we’re not waiting weeks for marketplace payouts.

4. Invisible cleanup buffers & PIN protection: The hidden buffer times keep our schedule stress-free between appointments. PIN-protected access also lets us offer exclusive or private services without exposing our entire calendar to strangers.

5. Clean, distraction-free interface: The work calendar is fast and straightforward, and it doesn’t drown you in clutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vaba.Spot?

Honestly, there’s very little to complain about. It stays focused on doing the essentials—booking, calendar management, and payments—exceptionally well, instead of cramming in bloated enterprise features you’ll never use. Since it’s actively evolving, a few niche advanced settings are still in the process of rolling out, but the team delivers improvements remarkably quickly and seems genuinely receptive to feedback.

Recommendations to others considering Vaba.Spot:

Do the math on what marketplace platforms like Fresha or Timma are actually costing you each month in commissions—you’ll realize switching to Vaba.Spot pays for itself in just a few days.

If you want to own your customer relationships, keep your branding front and center on your own website, and receive your money directly into your account with zero platform fees, Vaba.Spot is a no-brainer. It is especially ideal for salons, aesthetic studios, and service businesses in Estonia, Finland, and across the Nordics/Baltics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vaba.Spot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Vaba.Spot, we were losing thousands of euros every year to marketplace platforms taking a 15–20% cut on bookings, all while showing our loyal clients other competing salons on the same page. We also spent way too much time answering the phone mid-treatment just to confirm appointments or reschedule clients.

Vaba.Spot gave us complete independence. Our clients book online 24/7 directly through our own website and social channels. We keep 100% of our turnover with zero commissions, payments land straight in our bank account via Montonio, and the automated confirmations and SMS reminders have basically wiped out our no-shows. It has restored calm to our workday and significantly increased our net profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
