Caloti is designed to help with protecting first-visit margin.
The first booking is often where a salon proves the relationship. Caloti does not turn that first visit into a commission bill. If someone finds and books your salon through Caloti, Caloti does not take a percentage of the appointment.
Treatwell UK partner pricing says Treatwell charges 35% commission on first bookings made by new clients it brings from the marketplace, alongside the monthly fee. Capterra review summaries surface payment delays and high fees as review themes. The Caloti angle is not that every marketplace fee is wrong; it is that Caloti is built so first-visit discovery does not remove a slice of the appointment value.
