What Clientbase does

ClientBase is a private, founder-operated web application for independent professionals in France, initially focused on hairdressers, nail technicians, estheticians, and related beauty and wellness businesses. Its scope also includes barbers, massage therapists, physiotherapists, tattoo artists, photographers, and wellness coaches. The product combines variable-duration appointment scheduling, client records and histories, customizable public booking pages, client self-service for cancellation and rescheduling, email reminders, activity statistics and revenue export, loyalty cards, and invoicing described as compliant with auto-entrepreneur requirements. It was launched in spring 2026 by sole founder and developer Noah Pascual and entered a general-user early-access phase in August 2026.

Technically, ClientBase is a Progressive Web App with a local-first architecture that permits agenda consultation and modification offline and synchronization when connectivity returns. It uses Supabase PostgreSQL for backend infrastructure, Vercel for frontend hosting, row-level database isolation, TLS encryption in transit, and Stripe for subscription billing; ClientBase does not process card numbers itself. Professional and client data is hosted in the Supabase Paris region under the disclosed GDPR allocation of controller and processor roles. Professional booking pages use personalized URLs that can be shared through Instagram, WhatsApp, and business cards, and customer data can be exported in one click.

ClientBase uses a product-led freemium model. Découverte is free, Essentiel is €9.99 per month, and Pro is €19.99 per month; all tiers charge 0% commission on appointments. Onboarding is self-serve, with demo access, no credit-card requirement, no long-term commitment, founder support, SEO comparison content, a commission calculator, and an ambassador/referral program. The company is self-financed with no external investors, and captured homepage views displayed 8-15 professionals, so the available evidence indicates an early-stage customer base rather than established scale.

It is offered under a freemium model with 0% commission on appointments across all tiers, distinguishing it from marketplace competitors such as Planity, Treatwell and Fresha.

Direct peers

• Planity: French online booking SaaS for hair and beauty salons. ClientBase explicitly positions itself as the 0%-commission alternative to Planity (which charges 20-30% commissions), making it the closest head-to-head competitor.
• Kiute Pro: French SaaS for hair salons and beauty professionals. Named by ClientBase as a direct comparison target; serves the same French independent pro segment with online booking, agenda, and client management.
• iAra: French booking software for hair salons and beauty professionals. ClientBase lists iAra on its comparison page; both target the same French independent beauty pro segment with online booking and client management.
• Setmore: Appointment scheduling SaaS used by service-based independents including salons, barbers, and wellness providers. Comparable on core scheduling and client management functionality, though broader in vertical focus.

Broad incumbents

• Treatwell: Major European beauty and wellness booking marketplace. ClientBase explicitly compares itself against Treatwell's 20-30% commission model; overlaps entirely on target customer (independent beauty/wellness pros) but Treatwell is a much larger marketplace with payments and consumer traffic.
• Fresha: Global beauty and wellness marketplace with integrated payments. ClientBase explicitly contrasts its 0% commission against Fresha's 20% marketplace fee plus 1.3% payment processing — same target customers, much larger scale and feature set.
• Square Appointments: Appointments module within the Square payments ecosystem for service businesses. Comparable on scheduling and client management but adds integrated payments and broader business tooling — capabilities ClientBase has chosen not to build.
• Vagaro: Salon, spa, and fitness booking and business management platform. Comparable on agenda, client profiles, and loyalty features; broader in vertical and integrated payment/marketing tooling.
• Booksy: Booking marketplace for barbers, hair, and beauty professionals with global reach. Comparable on target customer and online booking; operates a marketplace model with built-in payments that ClientBase explicitly avoids.

Emerging players

• Acuity Scheduling: Squarespace-owned appointment scheduling SaaS for service-based businesses. Comparable on core scheduling functionality and self-serve booking pages; less specialized in salon/wellness verticals than ClientBase.
