Is the HUSL app free?

✅ Yes, the HUSL app is completely free to download and use.

Here’s the why:
We’re a Retail Marketplace, not a subscription platform.
That means we earn our revenue through product sales — not by charging you to run your business.

So, there are $0 subscription fees, no hidden costs, and no charges for using the app or its core features.

1. How We Make It Free

Because HUSL is a retail marketplace, we generate revenue through:

• Drop-shipping: Sell 3,500+ professional products (like K18, O&M, Joico, NAK and more) directly to your clients — no inventory needed.

• Wholesale Shop: Buy those same professional brands with no minimum spend, to use or sell in-salon.

💡 Tip: Download the app (it’s free!) to explore all partner brands once you’re verified as a professional stylist.

2. Appointment Booking & Payments

You can use the Appointment Booking feature and accept card, cash, bank transfers, or even complete transactions with up to 3 customised offline payments such as Gift Vouchers, and again completely free.

We’ve also integrated Stripe so you can:

• Accept card payments from clients

• Complete drop-shipped transactions at the same time — all in one seamless tap-and-pay action.

Stripe's bank fee 1.75% + 30¢ per transaction
(We recommend adding 2% to your services, to cover the fee)

3. SMS Appointment Reminders

You can switch SMS reminders on or off anytime in your app settings.

• Cost: 9¢ per SMS (set by phone carriers).

• Bonus: Any SMS related to payments or transactions — we cover that cost for you!

In Summary:

• ✅ Free to download and use

• ✅ $0 subscription or tech fees

• ✅ Revenue comes from retail, not from you

• 💡 Optional cost only applies to SMS reminders

That’s the HUSL difference:
We’re a retail marketplace — so you can grow your business freely, without paying to use the tools that power it.
