Fresha alternative

Is DINGG a good Fresha alternative in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, for ladies' salons, men's barbershops, spas and beauty clinics with a team in Saudi Arabia. DINGG covers what owners use Fresha for (online booking with deposits, reminders, checkout, packages, memberships, gift cards, inventory and team pay) and keeps the client relationship with your business: a white-labelled booking site in your own brand and domain, your own WhatsApp number, no commission on bookings through either, and an AI assistant that answers and books in English or Arabic. Fresha pairs its salon software with a consumer marketplace and charges a one-time fee on brand-new clients who book you through it; in Saudi Arabia it also offers e-invoicing linked to the tax authority as an add-on; with DINGG, a place on the Zodule marketplace is yours to opt into.

  • A white-labelled booking site in your own brand and domain, with no commission on its bookings
  • An AI assistant that books on WhatsApp in English or Arabic
  • Digital tax invoices with 15% VAT, in Arabic and English

Quick answer: Yes. DINGG is a strong Fresha alternative in Saudi Arabia for ladies' salons, men's barbershops, spas and beauty clinics with a team: clients book on a site in your own brand and on your WhatsApp number with no commission on those bookings, the AI assistant books in English or Arabic, and 15% VAT digital tax invoices, packages and commission run in one system. If you work alone and want a large consumer marketplace to bring most of your new clients, Fresha may suit you better.

Where DINGG is different

What owners moving from Fresha usually want

A Saudi salon owner on Trustpilot urges others to "carefully review their statements, commissions, and deductions" (Trustpilot, Oct 2026), and a Saudi App Store reviewer says new-client fees continued (App Store Saudi Arabia, Jul 2025).

A new client who finds you on Instagram, Google or WhatsApp books on a white-labelled site in your salon's brand, at yoursalon.book.zodule.ai or on your own domain, and stays your client, with no commission on the booking. You decide whether to join the Zodule marketplace as well. What your plan includes is agreed in a quote after the demo.Online booking

Saudi owners on Trustpilot describe automated replies: "We deserve accountability, not just automated responses" (Trustpilot, Oct 2026).

DINGG's team sets up your system, trains your front desk, team and managers in English or Arabic, and answers on WhatsApp after you go live. Owners who review DINGG on Google often single out the support team.Read owners' reviews of DINGG

Your clients get reminders from someone else's WhatsApp number: Fresha's help centre says its WhatsApp messages come from Fresha's verified account, with Fresha's logo and number, in a standard format.

DINGG connects your own WhatsApp Business number, so confirmations, reminders, invoices and campaigns come from your salon, and clients reply into one shared inbox where the AI assistant answers in English or Arabic.WhatsApp for salons

A reviewer on the Saudi App Store found Fresha's business app tiring because it had no Arabic (App Store Saudi Arabia, Sep 2025, translated from Arabic).

DINGG runs in Arabic and English for every role, from the reception desk to the owner app, digital invoices go out in both, and the AI assistant answers clients in either language.For the front desk

Questions, answered

DINGG as a Fresha alternative in Saudi Arabia: frequently asked questions

Is DINGG a good Fresha alternative in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, for ladies' salons, men's barbershops, spas and beauty clinics with a team. Clients book on a site in your own brand and on your own WhatsApp number with no commission on those bookings, the AI assistant answers and books in English or Arabic, and 15% VAT digital tax invoices, packages, memberships, commission, stock and every branch run in one system. DINGG is rated 4.9 on Google from 1,700+ reviews.

When is Fresha the better fit?

If you work on your own or with a small team and mainly want new clients from a large consumer marketplace, Fresha is built for that: it lists "25+ million customers looking to book". It also offers an AI receptionist on your phone line. In Saudi Arabia it offers e-invoicing linked to the tax authority as an add-on; DINGG issues digital tax invoices with 15% VAT but has no government e-invoicing link. DINGG is built for ladies' salons, men's barbershops, spas and beauty clinics with a team that want clients to book under their own brand, on their own site and WhatsApp, with the Zodule marketplace as their choice rather than the default.

Can I move from Fresha to DINGG?

Yes. Bring your client list and history from Fresha as a spreadsheet, and our team imports clients, history, services, staff, packages and stock, then trains your front desk, team and managers in English or Arabic before you go live. We time the switch around Ramadan, Eid and your busiest weekends.

How much does DINGG cost compared with Fresha?

DINGG plans depend on your branches, your team and the modules you need, with no commission on bookings from your own booking site or WhatsApp, so a busy month never adds booking fees. You see your plan in a free demo, followed by a quote.

Does DINGG charge a fee when a new client books online?

No. DINGG takes no commission on bookings made on your own booking site or in the WhatsApp chat, whether a new client found you on Instagram, Google or WhatsApp or a regular books again.

Can clients book us online, under our own brand?

Yes, in two ways. Your own booking site is white-labelled with your salon's name, logo and services, at yoursalon.book.zodule.ai or on your own domain, built from 11 templates, and it can sit inside your website, with live slots and deposits paid online. And if you opt in, your salon also has a place on the Zodule marketplace, where new clients look for salons and book.

Can reminders come from our own WhatsApp number?

Yes. DINGG connects your salon's WhatsApp Business number through an official WhatsApp Business provider, so confirmations, up to four reminders per booking, invoices and campaigns come from you, and one connection can serve every branch.

Does DINGG work in Arabic?

Yes. The DINGG app runs in Arabic and English, digital invoices go to clients in Arabic and English, and the AI assistant answers clients on WhatsApp in English or Arabic. Set-up and training are in English or Arabic too.

Does DINGG handle 15% VAT and our VAT number?

Yes. Set VAT at 15% with prices inclusive or exclusive, and every digital tax invoice carries your VAT number, in Arabic and English, sent to the client on WhatsApp or by link. Services and retail products can sit on separate tax lines on the same bill.

Is there an offer for switching to DINGG?

Yes, on annual plans: switch now, pay later, with up to 30 days to pay (data migration by our team isn't included with this offer); free data migration of up to 3 years of records, or 20% off your annual plan (pick one); and flexible payments, such as part payments, agreed in your quote.

What happens to packages, prepaid balances and booked appointments?

They come across with your clients. Our team moves what's left on each package and membership, prepaid and gift card balances, loyalty points and your booked appointments, so clients redeem and turn up as before.

What happens to my Fresha subscription?

Keep Fresha running until DINGG is live, so you never stop taking bookings. Tell us when your Fresha plan renews and we'll plan the move so you're live before then. Cancelling is between you and Fresha, under your agreement with them.

Do my clients need an app or an account to book?

No. Clients book on your booking site in any browser, or on WhatsApp, with no app to download and no account to create. If you switch it on, they confirm with a one-time code on WhatsApp.

Test it in your demo
