The short version

  • Only TeamSnap has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Shedul hidden costs beyond subscription including 20% marketplace commission, payment processing fees (2.19% + 20 cents), SMS fees (5-15 cents each), and $500 card terminal requirement; TeamSnap paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • They diverge on capability: Shedul covers Appointment scheduling, TeamSnap covers Rosters and availability.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Shedul

  • Hidden costs beyond subscription including 20% marketplace commission, payment processing fees (2.19% + 20 cents), SMS fees (5-15 cents each), and $500 card terminal requirement
  • Premium support (phone and live chat) requires additional paid add-on, base plan only includes email support
  • Limited customization and branding options in free tier compared to competitors
  • Complex pricing structure with many add-on fees makes true cost of ownership difficult to calculate upfront
  • Card payment terminal ($500) must be purchased separately for in-person payments instead of supporting third-party terminals

TeamSnap

  • Paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • The free plan is funded by advertising shown to parents and players, which some clubs and schools consider unacceptable and only discover after rollout.
  • On the club and league side a large share of the cost is the processing fee on registration payments, so the quoted platform fee understates what families and the organisation pay across a season.
  • Statistics, scoring and any form of video or performance analysis are minimal, so a competitive programme needs a second product for anything beyond administration.
  • Governance features that national bodies increasingly require, background screening and compliance tracking among them, are not covered, which is exactly where SportsEngine wins organisation-level deals.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Shedul: Is Shedul/Fresha free to use?

No. Shedul, now rebranded as Fresha, charges $19.95 USD per month for the Independent plan (one person) and $14.95 per month per team member for the Team plan. However, there are additional costs beyond the base subscription including 20% commission on marketplace bookings, payment processing fees of 2.19% + 20 cents per transaction, SMS messaging fees of 5 to 15 cents per message, and a $500 card payment terminal if processing in-person payments.

TeamSnap: Is the free plan genuinely free?

Yes, and it is paid for by advertising shown to parents and players in the application. Removing the advertising is one of the reasons teams upgrade.

Shedul: What features are included in Shedul/Fresha?

Shedul/Fresha includes appointment scheduling, client management with history and preferences, automated appointment reminders, online booking through website or Facebook, point-of-sale (POS) system, inventory and product management, client loyalty programs, and basic reporting and analytics. All features are available on all paid plans without additional feature-based tiers.

Source
TeamSnap: Should each team buy its own subscription?

No. If you have more than a few teams, the club and league product costs less in total and gives you consolidated rosters, registration and scheduling.

Shedul: What are the hidden costs beyond the subscription price?

Shedul/Fresha charges 20% commission on new client bookings through the Fresha marketplace, 2.19% plus 20 cents for card payment processing, SMS messaging at 5 to 15 cents per message, and requires a $500 card payment terminal for in-person credit card processing. According to industry analysis, true annual costs run approximately 70% higher than the published subscription price.

Source
TeamSnap: What does registration actually cost the club?

The platform fee plus a processing percentage on every payment. Model the processing on your expected registration volume before comparing quotations.

Shedul: Does Shedul/Fresha work on mobile devices?

Yes, Shedul/Fresha is available as a web platform and has native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Clients can book appointments through the mobile apps, and staff can manage appointments from their phones.

Source
TeamSnap: Does it handle statistics and scoring?

Barely. It is an administration and communication tool, not a performance one.

Shedul: What support options are available?

Free and Team plans include email support only. Live chat and phone support (24/7) are only available with an optional premium add-on that costs extra per month. The Fresha Plus premium support is required to access phone and chat support.

Source
Shedul: Can I export my salon data from Shedul/Fresha?

While Shedul/Fresha provides reporting and analytics features, the platform does not clearly document export options for bulk data transfer. Users should contact support to determine data export capabilities and formats.
