Comparison
A Fresha alternative, built for Cambodia
KOKSIN is the appointments marketplace for the Cambodian market, with local payment rails, Khmer support, and verified providers across all 25 provinces. If Fresha's payments and language flow don't fit how you operate, KOKSIN is the local-first alternative.
The short version
- No commission on bookings
- Fresha charges 20% on new marketplace clients, with a $6 minimum per booking.
- Priced per location, not per person
- Hiring a third stylist does not change your bill.
- Local rails, not card only
- ABA PayWay and KHQR at 1%, from the bank app your customers already have.

Worked example
One salon, one month
A 3-person salon in Phnom Penh: 120 bookings a month at $12 average, 30 of them first-time customers who found the shop through the marketplace.
The gap is mostly the per-booking commission. At $12 a booking, Fresha's 20% falls below its $6 minimum, so the minimum applies to all 30 new clients.

Why partners pick KOKSIN
The local-first stack.
Built around Cambodian payments
ABA PayWay is integrated end to end. Deposits come from ABA Mobile, and KHQR covers every other Cambodian bank. No card networks in the way.
Bilingual interface (Khmer + English)
Customers and partners switch freely between Khmer and English. Service names and confirmations follow the language each user picks.
Local-currency pricing
Set prices in USD or KHR, the same currency you already quote in. No conversion surprises at checkout.
Verified partners
Every partner is reviewed by our team before going live. Real address, real staff, real services.
Group sessions out of the box
Yoga, pilates, group fitness, couple's massage. Capacity-aware seats with automatic reminders, not a workaround on 1:1 bookings.
Telegram alerts for staff
Bookings, cancellations, and reschedules land in your team's Telegram chat, the messenger Cambodians already use.
When Fresha is the better choice
We'd rather say it here than have you find out after migrating.
You operate in several countries. Fresha is international. KOKSIN is Cambodia only, so a regional chain needs one system across borders.
You depend on product retail features. Stock, product sales, and the wider add-on ecosystem are more mature there than ours.
Your customers pay by foreign card. If most of your trade is overseas cards rather than local bank apps, our 1% local-rail advantage does not apply.
Moving across
You can run both while you switch. Nothing is cut off.
Apply and get verified. Two to three working days, with no commitment and no setup fee.
We move your services and hours. Onboarding copies your service list, prices, staff, and opening hours across for you.
Run both for a month. Keep your existing calendar live and compare a real month before you cancel anything.
