Why Skedra?
Eight reasons we're different.
Skedra wasn't built to copy Fresha or Treatwell. It was built because too many small businesses were handing over commission on every booking — for software that could be flat-priced and still be excellent.
Reason #1
No commission — ever.
Most booking platforms (Fresha, Treatwell) charge 20–25% on bookings taken through their marketplace. A salon doing €50,000 a year online pays €10,000+ in fees. Skedra is flat monthly pricing. You keep what you earn.
Reason #2
Built in Ireland for European businesses.
We default to EUR, Europe/Dublin timezone (covers all of Ireland), and VAT-aware invoicing. The team is reachable in Irish business hours. Your data lives in EU-region servers — GDPR-compliant by construction, not by retrofit.
Reason #3
One platform. Not five.
Bookings + customers + staff + payments + reminders + loyalty + WhatsApp + reports — in one product. No more stitching Calendly + Mailchimp + Square + a spreadsheet. One login, one bill, one place your data lives.
Reason #4
AI that helps you grow — built in.
Win-back messages drafted in one click. WhatsApp auto-replies that answer customer questions about hours, services, and pricing. No-show risk predictor on every booking. AI isn't a buzzword bolt-on — it's woven into the daily workflow.
Reason #5
Honest pricing.
Free forever for solo businesses (Starter). €39/mo for full Pro (unlimited bookings, email reminders, loyalty). €99/mo for Premium (multi-location, SMS, WhatsApp, AI). No usage tiers, no surprise overages, no commission, no per-staff fees.
Reason #6
Your data is portable.
Export every customer, booking, and invoice as CSV with one click. We don't hold your business hostage. If Skedra isn't right for you, your data leaves with you cleanly.
Reason #7
We ship weekly.
Small focused team. No board meetings, no quarterly roadmap kabuki. If a customer needs something, we build it that week. The whole product was built and deployed in under a month.
Reason #8
Support that's actually human.
Every support email reaches the team that built the product. No ticket queue, no offshore reps reading scripts. Usually replies same business day from a real person in Cork.
