MassageHub vs Nextro

Nextro is a UK booking platform for beauty and service businesses — hair, nails, lash, barbers and aesthetics, with massage listed among them. Like MassageHub, it avoids the marketplace model and charges no commission on appointments. Its Solo plan is £29/month, with Team and Enterprise tiers for multi-staff and multi-location businesses, and a 14-day trial but no free plan.

Why therapists switch from Nextro

✓Nextro's entry plan is £29/month with no free tier — MassageHub starts free, with Solo Pro at £12/mo and Solo Plus at £24/mo.
✓Nextro adds a "secure checkout fee" to the client's card total (around 3.46% — their own example turns a £50 service into £51.73 at checkout). MassageHub adds no platform surcharge to client payments.
✓Nextro has no SOAP notes and no clinical intake — MassageHub includes both on the free plan, built for how massage therapists document their work.
✓Nextro is built for the broad beauty market (salons, nails, lash, barbers). MassageHub is built specifically for massage therapists, with mobile travel routing and buffer times.

Built for clinical massage practice

MassageHub is the alternative for UK massage therapists who keep clinical notes — the part general booking and beauty tools leave out.

✓SOAP notes and clinical intake forms on the free plan — not an add-on.
✓Your insurer and professional body typically expect client records to be kept for several years; MassageHub keeps them in one place, exportable any time.
✓Every note and intake response is encrypted at rest — readable only by you.
