The Treatwell alternative that takes no cut
A commission on a new customer is advertising. A commission on a regular is a tax.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Treatwell is a marketplace and it charges like one: a percentage of the bookings it sends you. For somebody who found you there for the first time, that is a fair price for an introduction. For the client who has come every six weeks for three years and now books through the same link, it is a slice off a treatment you were always going to do. Clay gives you a site of your own with the booking on it and takes nothing per booking.
Clay vs Treatwell
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
How it works

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Do I have to choose?
No, and most do not. Keep the marketplace for discovery and put your own address on the card you hand people, so a returning client books where it costs you nothing.
What does Clay cost?
Free on your own name.clay.site with a small badge, then a domain, the badge off and the pro features. Nothing per booking, ever.
Can clients pay in advance?
No. A deposit is stated on the page and settled with you directly, which is also why there is nothing to take a percentage of.
