Slotora vs Treatwell
Treatwell is a marketplace first and salon software second, and it is upfront about the trade: it brings you strangers and takes a cut of their first visit. The cut is the largest on this site, so it is worth knowing the number before you sign. Everything below comes from Treatwell's own partner pricing page.

The honest caveat
Treatwell is the better choice for a salon that needs to fill chairs this month and has no client list of its own. It is one of the largest beauty marketplaces in Europe, 0% on every repeat booking is a genuinely fair structure, and a 35% one-time fee on a stranger who becomes a regular can pay for itself several times over. Two things to weigh: they publish no subscription price, so you cannot budget from the website alone, and they do not sync with another management system — signing up means running your diary in theirs. Slotora will never bring you the volume Treatwell can. It also will never take a third of a first visit.
