THE SHORT VERSION

A SQUIRE alternative centred on your own brand.

KERSIVO is an alternative to SQUIRE for independent UK barbershops that want simple, direct online bookings and stronger control over their brand. Starter is £0/month for up to four active bookable barbers, with a hosted booking page and at least £5 online payment per public booking. Full is £39/month per location, with a branded website and standard domain. Both have 0% KERSIVO commission; Stripe processing fees still apply.

SQUIRE also operates in the UK and offers a broader POS and barbershop management platform. Its first-party public pricing page currently shows US-dollar prices. Confirm UK subscription pricing, VAT and local payment charges directly with SQUIRE. Choosing between them depends on the features your shop actually uses.

WHY BARBERS COMPARE

Why UK barbers look for a SQUIRE alternative

SQUIRE can be a good fit for operations-heavy shops. Other barbers want a simpler booking and own-brand website model, without paying for features they do not need.

  1. Your website and booking identity

    SQUIRE offers branded booking experiences and additional website options on eligible plans. Full KERSIVO includes an own-domain barbershop website at £39/month per location, with bookings under your brand.

  2. What your barbershop really needs

    SQUIRE offers an integrated physical POS, staff payouts and rent collection workflows. KERSIVO is more focused: appointments, barbers, client records, payment choices and retail pickup on Full.

  3. The real price for UK shops

    SQUIRE publishes US-dollar subscription prices. We could not independently verify a current GBP quote for UK shops, nor their VAT, payment-processing or optional platform charges.

  4. How customers reach your booking page

    SQUIRE offers hosted shop listings and Google and Instagram bookings on Pro. KERSIVO supports direct links to a hosted Starter page or a branded website and own domain on Full. Neither approach guarantees new customers.

MIGRATION

Switching from SQUIRE to KERSIVO

Keep SQUIRE live while your new booking setup is prepared.

  1. Keep SQUIRE taking bookings

    Use your existing appointment diary while assessing the new booking flow. Do not interrupt your customers before launch.

  2. Find out what SQUIRE exports

    Confirm with SQUIRE which client, appointment and service data can be exported and in what formats.

  3. Review your migration scope

    KERSIVO can help review and import compatible business data, including supported CSV exports where available.

  4. Prepare the KERSIVO setup

    Configure barbers, services, opening hours and payments; add the branded website and standard domain if you choose Full.

  5. Check your private preview

    Review the complete customer booking flow and your admin setup before making a public change.

  6. Update your booking links when approved

    Direct new bookings to KERSIVO once the new setup is ready and you approve the change.

Before switching

  • Confirm what data SQUIRE permits you to export. No migration completeness is guaranteed.
  • Saved card details, reviews and future appointments should not be assumed portable.
  • Avoid simultaneous booking links that might create double-bookings; agree on a clear cutover.

FAQ

Questions about comparing SQUIRE and KERSIVO?

Straight answers on UK availability, published prices, bookings, payments, branding and switching.

What is a good SQUIRE alternative for UK barbershops?

KERSIVO is an option for independent UK barbershops that want direct online booking without SQUIRE’s wider physical POS and barber-payment suite. KERSIVO Starter is £0/month for up to four active bookable barbers, with a KERSIVO-hosted page; Full KERSIVO is £39/month per location and includes a branded barbershop website and standard domain.

Is SQUIRE available in the UK?

Yes. SQUIRE publicly lists UK barbershops on its booking platform, and its data processing agreement lists Squire Europe Limited in the United Kingdom. The first-party pricing page available for this check displays USD prices. Ask SQUIRE to confirm the subscription amount in GBP, VAT and UK payment charges.

How much does SQUIRE cost per month in the UK?

SQUIRE’s official public pricing page currently displays USD list prices: Independent $30/month, Pro $50/month, Executive $150/month per shop and Titan $250/month per shop (checked 8 October 2026). These are US-dollar list prices, not a verified UK quotation. Ask SQUIRE for the current UK GBP subscription, VAT basis, card-processing fees and optional add-ons.

Is KERSIVO cheaper than SQUIRE?

KERSIVO Starter is £0/month and Full is £39/month per physical UK barbershop location. SQUIRE’s first-party public pricing page displays USD plan prices, but a current UK GBP quote, VAT and payment-processing terms have not been verified. We cannot claim a universal like-for-like total saving. Compare the actual UK quote, processing charges and the functions your team needs.

Does KERSIVO charge commission or booking fees?

KERSIVO charges 0% KERSIVO platform commission on booking payments on Starter and Full, and 0% on Full retail payments. Normal Stripe processing fees remain separate. Starter public bookings require a connected Stripe account and at least £5 paid online. For services above £5, clients can choose a £5 deposit or Pay in full.

Does SQUIRE charge booking fees to clients?

SQUIRE’s public pricing page does not provide a single verified fee amount that applies to every UK customer booking or payment path. Confirm any client-facing booking charges, card-processing rates, refund terms and payment fees with SQUIRE and review your own checkout flow. We do not assume there is no charge or quote an unverified UK rate.

Can I use my own barbershop domain with KERSIVO?

Yes. Full KERSIVO includes a branded barbershop website with a standard domain. Starter uses a KERSIVO-hosted booking page under KERSIVO branding, not a custom domain.

Does SQUIRE include POS, reminders and automated barber payouts?

SQUIRE offers online bookings, reminders and in-person POS. Its official materials also describe Auto Payout and Rent Collect, while the exact features included depend on the plan and local terms. KERSIVO covers booking operations and Full retail pickup but is not a replacement for the complete SQUIRE register or automated barber bank payouts.

Can I migrate my SQUIRE clients to KERSIVO?

KERSIVO can help review and import compatible business data supplied by your current booking platform, including supported CSV exports. Ask SQUIRE which client and appointment data can be exported before assuming anything can be transferred. Existing bookings, saved payment methods and reviews should not be assumed to migrate automatically.

Can I keep SQUIRE live while KERSIVO is being set up?

Yes. Keep your current SQUIRE booking journey active while you prepare and review your new KERSIVO setup. You can change your public booking links once the new experience has been reviewed and approved. Data transfer scope must be checked first.

Do clients need an app to book using KERSIVO?

No. Customers book through a normal browser: on a KERSIVO-hosted booking page with Starter or your own branded website with Full KERSIVO.

Can I explore KERSIVO before choosing a plan?

Yes. You can explore the live KERSIVO demo, including the customer booking journey and admin, before choosing Starter at £0/month or Full at £39/month per location.
