Barberly: pricing, features & update activity

Name: Barberly
Price: 25 USD

Overview

Barberly is barbershop booking and management software from Tecwi Engineering GmbH (Switzerland) with two waitlist modes: a client-joined appointment waitlist and an in-shop walk-in queue with kiosk and TV board. Plans start at $25 per month for one team member.

Barberly is barbershop booking and management software from Tecwi Engineering GmbH, a founder-owned company based in Meggen, Switzerland. It covers online booking, a branded mobile app for each shop, payments through third-party providers, team and marketing tools, and two separate waitlist features. It is catalogued here under appointments and walk-in queues. Its industries are barbershops, salons and mobile barbers, and it is not a restaurant waitlist tool.

The appointment waitlist lets clients add themselves from the shop’s app or booking site, or staff add them by hand. Barberly watches cancellations and newly opened slots and notifies waitlisted clients by push, SMS, WhatsApp or email, with a shop-set number of repeat notices. The walk-in queue is for clients already in the shop: they check in at a tablet kiosk, receive a numbered ticket, and see queue position and estimated wait on a TV board. Other recorded features include analytics, email campaigns, a client-facing Booking API and unlimited locations. Named integrations are Square, Stripe, SumUp, Revolut, WhatsApp, Google Business Profile and Facebook.

Pricing is public and billed monthly by team size, with no per-booking fee; the kiosk, queue and board are included in the subscription. Messaging is metered after 500 SMS a month. A 30-day trial needs no card, and larger teams contact the vendor.

Who it's for

Best for

Barbershops and salons, from one chair to several locations, that want both a cancellation waitlist and a walk-in queue at a flat per-team-size price source
Shops that want their own branded mobile app and booking site, with kiosk check-in and a TV queue board source
Owners who take payments through their own Square, Stripe, Revolut or SumUp account source

Not ideal for

Businesses outside barbershops, salons and mobile barbers, since the data lists only those industries source
Shops that rely on two-way texting or QR code check-in, which are not recorded source
Teams that send many SMS alerts, since only 500 messages a month are included before $0.03 each source
