Six salon booking systems in Norway, compared

Fixit and Timma include a till, Fresha and Anolla take payment online, SumUp has a free version, and Stamly includes loyalty and a customer app in one fixed price. Which one is best for you depends on what your salon is missing today. Below is what each supplier says about itself, checked on 10 November 2026.

Written by the team behind Stamly at Inovix AS. We sell the booking system we write about, and we show where the numbers come from.

In short

  • If you want booking and a till in one system, Fixit and Timma are the closest fit. Stamly isn't a till system.
  • If you want customers to pay online when they book, Fresha, Anolla and SumUp Bookings do that. Stamly doesn't take online payment.
  • Marketplaces charge commission on new customers: Fresha and Timma both state 20% for customers who find you through them. SumUp and Stamly don't state any commission.
  • Stamly costs NOK 349 per location a month excluding VAT with one staff member, plus NOK 149 for each extra staff member. The loyalty programme and the customer app are included.

We make one of the systems on this list. That's why everything about the others comes from the suppliers' own websites, with a link, and why we're just as clear about where Stamly falls short. The prices are the Norwegian ones, in Norwegian kroner, as they stood on 10 November 2026. Price lists change, so follow the link before you decide.

If you run a salon outside Norway, the comparison still tells you how the models differ. The amounts won't match your country, and some of these suppliers don't operate where you are.

Which booking system suits which salon?

  • You want the till, the appointment book and the reports from one supplier: look at Fixit and Timma.
  • Customers should pay, or leave a deposit, when they book: look at Fresha, Anolla and SumUp Bookings.
  • You work alone and want to start without a monthly fee: SumUp Bookings and Anolla both have a free basic version.
  • You want customers to collect points and come back, and you don't want loyalty sold as an add-on: look at Stamly.

Five questions we asked about every supplier

  1. How do they charge? Per user, per location, per feature, or by agreement.
  2. Do they take commission? Especially on customers who find the salon through the supplier's own app or marketplace.
  3. Is there a free version or a trial? And what it actually covers.
  4. Do they have a loyalty programme? Included, as an add-on, or not mentioned.
  5. Do customers get an app? And whether it shows only your salon, or lots of salons side by side.

Tills and online payment aren't one of the five questions, but they're noted under each supplier wherever the supplier mentions them. If your salon has no till today, that could be the point that settles it.

Fixit (Vitec Fixit)

  • Pricing: not published. Vitec Fixit offers a free 20-minute walkthrough and puts together a custom package for salons that don't need everything. Source: vitec-fixit.com
  • Commission: not published.
  • Free version: none mentioned.
  • Till: yes. Fixit describes one system for booking, the till, marketing and reporting.
  • Loyalty: in the App Store, the developer mentions a benefits programme under “Min side” (My page) in the customer app. How a salon sets it up isn't explained on the website.
  • Customer app: yes. The Fixit Timebestilling app lists more than 700 salons in Norway, with gift cards and an online shop for salons that offer them. Source: App Store

Good for: salons that want one supplier for both the appointment book and the till, and would like an adviser to talk to. The drawback is that you can't work out the price until you've been in touch.

Timma

  • Pricing: 270 kr per user a month excluding VAT. From six users the price stops at 1,400 kr a month. Source: timma.no
  • SMS: 1.12 kr per message, according to Timma's own overview of the prices that applied from 1 April 2025. Source: Timma's help pages
  • Commission: 20% of the first visit when a new customer finds the salon through Timma Marketplace. Later visits from the same customer, and customers who book directly, don't carry commission.
  • Trial: 30 days.
  • Till: yes, Timma sells itself as a till and booking system. Its payment service, Timma Pay, is priced separately.
  • Loyalty: we couldn't find it mentioned on the Norwegian pages.
  • Customer app: yes, the Timma app, where customers find and book lots of different salons.

Good for: salons that want the till and booking together at a price they can calculate themselves, and like the idea of being listed in a shared marketplace. Expect new customers from that marketplace to cost you a fifth of their first treatment.

Fresha

  • Pricing: Independent costs 182.95 kr a month for one person with one calendar column. Team costs 119 kr per team member a month. Above 20 staff the price is set individually. Source: fresha.com
  • Commission: a one-off 20% on new clients who come from the Fresha marketplace, at least 60 kr per client. Returning clients never carry commission.
  • Trial: 7 days. The pricing page doesn't show a permanent free version.
  • Payment: cards online and in the salon, at 1.29% plus 2 kr per transaction.
  • Loyalty: an add-on, at 695 kr per location a month.
  • Customer app: yes, the Fresha app, where customers find salons nearby.

Good for: salons that want to take payment online and in the salon with the same supplier, and want to reach customers through a large international marketplace. Budget for loyalty separately.

Anolla

  • Pricing: a free basic version (€0). Paid features are switched on as you need them, and the price follows your usage. We couldn't find the amounts for the paid features. Source: anolla.com
  • Commission: not mentioned.
  • Payment: deposits and prepayment online, through Stripe.
  • Loyalty: yes, memberships with several tiers, as a paid feature.
  • Customer app: yes, for iOS, Android and the web.

Good for: salons that want to start for free and pay for more later. Ask for the total price of the features you'll actually use, because it isn't on the website.

SumUp Bookings

  • Pricing: POS Gratis (free) costs nothing a month. POS Plus costs 539 kr a month and adds team calendars, SMS reminders, and fees for cancellations and no-shows. Source: sumup.com
  • Commission: no commission on bookings, according to SumUp.
  • Payment: customers can pay online. SumUp's normal fees apply.
  • Loyalty: loyalty points for each visit are mentioned. The page doesn't say which version includes them.
  • Customer app: not mentioned. SumUp only refers to its own app for the business.

Good for: the hairdresser who works alone and already takes payment with SumUp. Once you have staff, you need POS Plus for a shared calendar.

Stamly

  • Pricing: one plan, Standard. NOK 349 per location a month excluding VAT with one staff member, and NOK 149 for each staff member beyond that. See the prices
  • Commission: none. The salon pays the subscription and nothing else, wherever the customer came from.
  • Trial: 2 months free. No lock-in period.
  • Notifications: free in the app and by email. SMS is an add-on: 500 SMS for NOK 750 in Norway. In other countries the price follows what an SMS costs there.
  • Payment: customers pay in the salon. Stamly doesn't take online payment and isn't a till system.
  • Loyalty: included in the plan, with points, tiers and rewards. Read about the loyalty programme
  • Customer app: yes, free for customers. Staff have their own app, Stamly Business, and the salon gets its own page on stamly.net where customers can book.

Good for: salons that want more regulars and a price that's easy to work out. Not a fit if you need a deposit at booking, or want the till in the same system. Stamly launched in 2026, so it has a shorter track record than everything else on this list.

What does commission cost in practice?

Take a women's cut at 800 kr. If the customer arrives through a marketplace that charges 20% on the first visit, 160 kr goes to the supplier that day. Say she then comes back six times over two years: at Fresha and Timma those visits cost nothing extra. So the commission is paid once per new customer. Whether it's worth it comes down to one thing. Does the marketplace actually bring you customers you wouldn't have got anyway?

How to test the systems against each other

Use the same recipe for every one. Add three services of different lengths, two staff members with different hours, and a lunch break. Book an appointment as a customer on your phone, then move it from the salon's side. Work out what a normal month costs with all your staff, SMS and the add-ons you'd use, and write that figure down. That's the number you compare.

Ask, too, how you'd get your customer list out again if you switched later. It's much easier to get a straight answer before you've signed. There's more on that in the checklist for switching booking systems, and in what a salon booking system costs. If you want a closer look at Stamly, online booking, the calendar and the customer database each have their own page.

Questions and answers

What is the best booking system for hair salons in Norway?

There isn't one answer for every salon. Fixit and Timma have booking and a till in the same system. Fresha and Anolla take payment online. SumUp Bookings has a free version for people who work alone. Stamly includes a loyalty programme and a customer app in one fixed price, but has no till and no online payment.

Which salon booking systems charge commission?

Fresha and Timma charge a one-off 20% commission when a new customer finds the salon through their marketplace, according to their own pages on 10 November 2026. No further commission is charged when that customer returns. SumUp Bookings and Stamly don't state any commission. Fixit doesn't publish its prices.

Is there a free booking system for hair salons?

SumUp Bookings has a version called POS Gratis with no monthly fee, and Anolla has a free basic version. Both charge for more, such as SMS, extra calendars or other features. Stamly gives two months free and then costs a fixed price per location.

Which salon systems have a loyalty programme?

Stamly includes points, tiers and rewards in the plan. Fresha sells loyalty as an add-on per location. Anolla has memberships with tiers as a paid feature. SumUp Bookings mentions loyalty points per visit. For Fixit, the developer refers to a benefits programme in the customer app, and for Timma we couldn't find it mentioned.

Can customers pay online in Stamly?

No. In Stamly, customers book in the app or on the salon's page on stamly.net and pay in the salon. Stamly isn't a till system either, so the salon needs its own till.

What should I compare when choosing salon software?

Compare the total price for all your staff including SMS and add-ons, whether commission is charged on new customers, whether a till is included, whether customers can pay online, whether there's a loyalty programme, and how you get your customer list out if you switch.
