PointVibe vs Booksy
Booksy is a booking app for beauty, wellness and barber businesses, with a client marketplace, payments and loyalty cards included. PointVibe starts from the loyalty card: a pass in the client's Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with bookings on the same customer record. Here is how they compare, from each company's own pages.
PointVibe and Booksy, compared
An honest answer
Booksy is the better fit if
- Your clients already book through the Booksy app and you want to be listed in its marketplace.
- You want booking, payments and loyalty from one company at a lower entry price.
- You send a lot of marketing texts: Booksy includes 2,000 a month.
PointVibe is the better fit if
- You do not want your loyalty program to depend on clients installing, and keeping, another company's app.
- You want the card on the lock screen, updated live, and able to carry an offer when someone walks past your shop.
- You want one loyalty card across very different trades: PointVibe has setups for cafés, retail, gyms and clinics as well as salons.

For loyalty and repeat visits, yes. PointVibe issues points and stamp loyalty cards as Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes, with appointment booking as an add-on on the same customer record. It is not a marketplace and does not process card payments.
Not according to Booksy's own pages as of 27 September 2026. Booksy says clients see their progress in the Booksy for Customers app, under Loyalty Cards.
Yes. Bookings are an add-on on PointVibe, so you can run only the wallet loyalty card alongside the booking tool you already use. Staff scan the pass at the counter with the PointVibe scanner app.
No. The pass is added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with one tap from a link or QR code. Both wallets are already on the phone.
