Qleven or Booksy: which one for your clinic?
0% commission, and a real clinical suite behind the booking.
In short
The world’s largest beauty marketplace, with subscription software + “Boost” commission.
Booksy is the world’s biggest beauty marketplace (40M+ consumers, ~140,000 businesses in 2024), very strong in Spain, with “Booksy Biz” software billed per subscription + member.
Its “Boost” acquisition program takes 30% of the first visit of any client arriving from the marketplace — and the mechanism can count clients who were already yours as “new”. Nothing in the product covers clinical ground: records, consents, protocols or equipment.
You run a medical-aesthetic clinic and you are weighing up Booksy. The world’s largest beauty marketplace, with subscription software + “Boost” commission. The problem: day to day, missed appointments, an overloaded front desk and patched-together tax handling cost you time and revenue, month after month. With Qleven, the math changes: 0% commission, and a real clinical suite behind the booking.
Head to head, point by point
| On this point | Booksy | Qleven |
|---|---|---|
| “Boost” commission | 30% of the first visit of marketplace clients (min./cap by country, Jul 2026) — the segment’s highest. | 0% commission, whichever channel your client arrives by. |
| Your existing clients | A regular booking via the app can count as “new”; the official help describes the workarounds to avoid being charged. | Your clients never “count” for anyone — no reclassification possible. |
| Clinical ground | Generic client cards and notes; no medical records, signed consents or protocols (Jul 2026). | Patient records, versioned consents, protocols and before/after photos — as standard. |
| WhatsApp AI receptionist | No accredited conversational WhatsApp agent that answers and books (Jul 2026). | An AI agent answers and books on WhatsApp 24/7, with human handoff. |
| Equipment anti-fraud | “Resources” books rooms/equipment; no control of machines’ real consumption. | Measures each device’s real consumption and cuts off without a validated appointment. |
