  • Hardware equipment expensive and requires dedicated space in home
  • All-Access membership only works optimally with Peloton hardware, limiting flexibility
  • Price increases made in October 2025 have reduced affordability

Treatwell

  • Online prepayments carry an additional 2.5 percent processing fee plus VAT
  • All commissions and fees are subject to VAT on top of the quoted percentages
  • The commercial model depends on marketplace introductions: there is no commission on direct or social media bookings, so the software is free only where the salon brings its own clients
