A Commission-Free Alternative to Treatwell
Treatwell takes a percentage of every appointment you take through their platform. Nextro charges a flat £29/month — no commission, no marketplace dependency. Your clients, your revenue.
Nextro is personal trainer booking software built for the UK — clients book and pay upfront, so you never have to chase.
Why businesses switch from Treatwell to Nextro
Treatwell charges a commission on every booking made through its marketplace. On a £50 appointment, that's real money leaving your business on every single transaction. Nextro is £29/month flat — no commission, ever.
Treatwell owns the client relationship. Your clients are listed on Treatwell's directory, where they can also discover competitors. Nextro gives you a private booking page that belongs to you — clients book directly with you.
Treatwell's algorithm controls your visibility. A bad review or a ranking change can cut your bookings overnight. With Nextro, your booking page lives at your own link and isn't subject to marketplace dynamics.
Nextro sends automated booking confirmations, reminders, and low-credit alerts — the communication layer that keeps clients returning — without sharing them with a third-party platform.
At high booking volumes, commission-based pricing costs multiples of a flat subscription. A salon doing £5,000/month in appointments could pay hundreds in Treatwell commission versus £29 on Nextro.

Common questions
How much commission does Treatwell charge?
Treatwell's commission varies but is typically between 20–30% per booking made through the platform. On a £50 appointment, that's up to £15 per booking in platform fees.
Can I move my Treatwell clients to Nextro?
Yes — you can import your client list and share your new Nextro booking link. Most businesses complete the switch within a day.
Will I lose new client discovery if I leave Treatwell?
Treatwell does provide marketplace discovery, which Nextro doesn't replace. If you have a strong existing client base and use other channels (social, referrals, Google), the commission saving on Nextro typically outweighs the loss of Treatwell discovery.
Does Nextro support deposits?
Yes — Nextro supports upfront payment at booking, which functions as a deposit and significantly reduces no-shows.
