Can they run side by side?

DayAI: Yes. DayAI syncs each therapist’s Fresha calendar to block those times and pushes DayAI bookings back to Fresha to prevent double bookings (up to 15 minutes lag on Fresha’s side)

Fresha: Fresha has no public API, but it offers per-staff calendar sync, which is the channel DayAI uses

DayAI is the better fit when…

  • You run a Thai massage, spa or beauty shop in Australia or New Zealand and want support in Thai
  • You miss calls while treating clients and want an AI that books from your live calendar and reports to you on LINE
  • You do not want to pay a per-client commission and prefer your own website and domain
  • You are a small shop that wants to start free and pay only when you grow

Fresha is the better fit when…

  • The Fresha marketplace is your main source of new clients
  • You already use Fresha card terminals and payments and do not want to change
  • You have locations in several countries outside Australia and New Zealand

You do not have to choose today: run both

Open your shop on DayAI for free, let the team set it up, and connect each therapist’s Fresha calendar. DayAI blocks the times Fresha has booked and pushes DayAI bookings back to Fresha, so customers cannot double-book. Decide which system leads once you have seen both in action.
