Sound familiar?

No-shows drain your revenue

Without automated reminders, the average practice loses a meaningful share of booked sessions to no-shows. At 80 to 120 euros per session, an empty slot is real income gone.

Instagram messages are not a booking system

Confirming appointments through direct messages and WhatsApp eats 30 to 45 minutes every evening. Double-bookings happen, and clients who cannot book instantly move on.

No professional web presence

Listing on a marketplace puts your profile next to competitors and you never own the relationship. Most clients check online before booking -- without a real website, they find someone else.

Session packs tracked on paper

Buy-five-get-one deals tracked in a notebook or WhatsApp lead to disputes. There is no system to deduct, expire, or refund prepaid sessions reliably.

Everything your practice needs

Your branded booking website

Paste your Instagram handle and Bookora builds a full website -- gallery, services, therapist profiles, Google Maps, and SEO -- on your own link in about 60 seconds.

Automated reminders and no-show protection

Email reminders go out automatically before each appointment, and no-show protection rules guard your revenue without forcing card details at booking.

Session packs that track themselves

Sell prepaid bundles like a five-session massage pack. Credits deduct on booking, expire in order, and auto-refund on cancellation -- no paper tracking.

Appointment booking engine

Clients self-book 24/7 from your website. Staff calendars, service durations, buffer times, and break rules are all respected automatically.

0% commission, free forever

The full booking engine, branded website, email reminders, and session packs are included on the free plan for solo therapists. No marketplace fee, no per-booking cut.

Frequently asked questions

Everything massage therapists ask before getting started with Bookora.

What is the best free booking app for massage therapists?

Bookora offers a genuinely free plan (not a trial) for solo massage therapists -- including full online booking, a branded website, automated reminders, and session packs. No credit card needed to start.

How do I reduce no-shows in my massage practice?

Automated email reminders sent 24 to 48 hours before an appointment cut no-shows significantly. Bookora sends these automatically, and you can require session-pack prepayment so clients have a financial commitment before the slot.

Does Fresha charge commission for massage bookings?

Fresha charges roughly a 20% new-client marketplace commission (minimum $6) on every first booking from a client found via its marketplace, on top of its subscription fee (from about $19.95/month for individuals). Direct bookings are fee-free, but all bookings sit on Fresha's branded platform, not yours.

Is Treatwell good for massage therapists in Greece?

Treatwell operates in Greece and can bring new clients, but it charges up to 35% commission on each client's first booking from the marketplace. You also appear alongside competitors rather than on your own branded site.

How much does massage booking software cost in Greece?

Bookora is free for solo massage therapists, with a Pro plan at 19,99 euros per month and 0% commission on every plan. Fresha starts from about $19.95/month plus a new-client fee, and Treatwell charges up to 35% on first marketplace bookings.

Can I sell prepaid massage session packs?

Yes. Bookora has a built-in session-pack system. Sell a bundle, for example a five-session pack, and credits deduct automatically at each booking, with unused credits auto-refunding on cancellation.

What is the Fresha alternative for massage therapists in Greece?

Bookora gives you an instant Greek-language branded website with 0% commission, a free plan, GDPR-compliant EU hosting, and bilingual Greek and English -- without appearing on a competitor marketplace.

How do I get more massage bookings from Instagram?

Add your Bookora booking link to your Instagram bio. Clients tap, land on your branded site, and self-book 24/7 -- no message back-and-forth, and your calendar fills automatically.

Can massage therapists offer group sessions or wellness classes?

Yes. Bookora has a native group-class engine with capacity limits and waitlists, so you can run couples-massage workshops or group wellness sessions alongside one-on-one appointments.

Do I need a website to take massage bookings online?

No separate website is needed. Bookora generates a full branded booking website for you -- gallery, service menu, team page, Google Maps, and SEO structured data -- from your Instagram account.

Your Instagram is already your portfolio. Make it your booking site too.
