DynApoint online payments are coming soon, so the DynApoint card and platform lines are what you'd pay once they launch. theCut bills each barber's PRO plan to that barber; it's added up here as a shop total.

Fine print
This is an independent comparison by DynaLake LLC, the maker of DynApoint. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Booksy or theCut. Competitor prices and features come from their public US pages, checked on Oct 27, 2026 (America/Chicago). Competitor prices and terms can change at any time, so confirm on their official pricing pages before you decide.
DynApoint pricing
- $15/mo business plan including the owner, plus $10/mo for each additional staff seat. Planned pricing; may change.
- Online payments are coming soon and are not live yet. When they launch: card processing through Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30 per online charge (Stripe's standard US online card rate), plus a DynApoint platform fee of $0.05 per online charge, paid by the shop.
- Optional client-paid "Online booking fee", once per online booking, paid to the shop. The shop sets the amount (this calculator allows $0.00 to $5.00; currently $0.50). Off by default in the app; this calculator starts with it on at $0.50. When on, Stripe's 2.9% is applied to the service price plus the fee.
- No marketplace commission on clients who find you in DynApoint.
- Not live yet and marked "coming soon": online payments (card on file, no-show fees, payouts), SMS reminders and SMS credit packs, and Spanish. Booking works today in the web app at dynapoint.app/app/.
How the calculator works
- Monthly bookings = bookings per week × 52 ÷ 12. Online payments = monthly bookings × share paid online. Marketplace new clients = monthly bookings × marketplace share.
- DynApoint = $15 + $10 × (seats − 1) + online × (2.9% × charge + $0.30) + online × $0.05 − (booking fee on ? online × fee : 0), with fee = $0.50 as entered. Charge = service price, plus the fee when the booking fee is on.
- Booksy = $29.99 (includes the first team member) + $20 × (seats − 1) + online × (2.69% × price + $0.30) + (Boost on ? marketplace new clients × clamp(30% × price, $10, $100) : 0). Uses Booksy's default "shop pays" fee model. Every marketplace new client is counted as a first-time Boost client.
- theCut PRO = $25 × seats (each barber has their own PRO plan; the owner Shop plan is $0) + online × 2.75% × price. Discovery clients are included on PRO. theCut Free = $0 + online × 2.75% × price + marketplace new clients × $10.
- Annual = monthly × 12. The "Winner" is the lowest monthly total for the settings you chose.
- Not included for any app: sales tax, tips, refunds, chargebacks (Booksy lists $20 each), instant or fast payout fees (1.5% on Booksy and theCut), hardware, SMS overage, and in-shop card payments (Booksy reader 2.49% + $0.10; Tap to Pay 2.49% + $0.20).
- Client-paid fees are shown for information and are not in the shop totals. theCut charges clients $1.95 per in-app Mobile Pay payment, per its pricing FAQ and comparison pages (an older July 2026 help article says $0.95). Booksy offers an optional client-pays fee model (client 3.5% + $0.10 or a 1% / 2.5% + $0.10 split), not available in CA, MA, CO, CT, MN, VA or NY; it isn't applied here.
- Booksy Boost is optional. With Boost off, Booksy and DynApoint (booking fee off) come out close for solo and small shops, because Stripe's 2.9% is a little higher than Booksy's 2.69%.
