Honest comparison, as of 2026-07-09

The short version

Booksy is a large, generic booking platform for beauty, barber and wellness with its own client marketplace. The marketplace can bring new walk-in clients, but charges a commission on bookings it sends you. Taddoo is not a marketplace but a tool for your existing client base, tailored to the tattoo workflow: motive, body location, size, references, deposit, consent.

Why Taddoo

No marketplace. Your name, your clients.

Taddoo handles the repetitive work so you can focus on why clients come to you: the art on the skin.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Won't Booksy bring me more clients than Taddoo?

Booksy has a marketplace where new clients can find you, at the cost of a commission on those bookings. Taddoo is deliberately not a marketplace but helps you manage your existing client base efficiently and commission-free. If acquiring new clients through a platform is your goal, Booksy may fit; if you want to lower your effort per existing client, Taddoo does.

Is Booksy made for tattoo?

Booksy is a generic platform for many beauty industries and also bills per staff member. Taddoo is built specifically for tattoo artists, with fields for motive, body location, size and reference images, digital consent and an AI email assistant that drafts a reply for every request. You pay a fixed price with no commission on your existing client base.
