e-cut alternative — modern online booking instead of a desktop till
e-cut is an established German hairdresser platform focused on POS and salon management — traditionally strong, but rather classic/desktop-oriented. If you want modern, mobile-first online booking with native calendar sync and a custom domain in 2026, you quickly hit the limits of classic till software.
EazyBooking is cloud-native, mobile-first and booking-focused — from €59/month, with native Apple calendar sync and a custom domain from day 1.

The best alternatives in 2026
The best e-cut alternatives at a glance
Looking for an alternative to e-cut? Here are the most honest options for 2026 — briefly explained, with a clear note on who each one fits. Our recommendation is at the top, followed by fair options you can compare for yourself.
EazyBooking
Our recommendationBooking, not industry suiteA lean online booking tool instead of a heavy hairdresser industry suite with a POS, inventory management and hardware — ready to go in minutes, with no expensive equipment at all. Your own booking page on your domain, 0% commission, a fixed price (€59/month including 5 staff members). Every appointment lands as a native invite straight in your Apple or Google Calendar. Servers in Germany, personal setup by the founder.
Start your 14-day free trialE-Cut
POS & inventoryA specialized hairdresser industry suite with a point of sale, online booking and inventory management for styling products (planner from €28, POS from €41; hardware can be bought or leased). Strong if you need inventory management, statistics and a full-featured point of sale — more extensive in return and with a hardware investment.
Studiolution
Cheap complete solutionCommission-free salon software with an appointment book and an optional point of sale (booking from €22.95, POS package from €32.95 + fiscal module), with no hardware lock-in. Strong for cost-conscious salons that want to bundle POS and appointments cheaply.
Belbo
Hairdresser with POSSalon software specialized in hairdressers and beauty, with a compliant point of sale, staff scheduling and online booking (from €19.90 net including 2 staff members). Commission-free and solid for the complete salon administration — more extensive in return than a pure booking tool.
Shore
Marketing & CRMBroad SaaS for appointments, customer management and marketing (from roughly €39.90 billed yearly; all-in-one with POS is noticeably pricier). Strong on CRM and newsletters — commission-free, but with no native Apple Calendar invite.
Planity
Salon with marketplaceEstablished salon software (from €69, fiscal module included) with a calendar, POS and its own beauty marketplace. A good all-in-one choice for larger salons — but with marketplace logic rather than a purely owned booking page.
What sets EazyBooking apart
Four concrete differences that matter
Cloud-native instead of a desktop till
e-cut comes from the desktop till software world. EazyBooking is built cloud + mobile from the ground up — you work from anywhere, your customers book on their smartphones (76% of all bookings), no locally installed machine required.
Native Apple calendar sync
Two-way real-time sync with Apple, Google and Outlook. Appointments land instantly on your staff's iPhones, and private events automatically block booking slots — classic till software can rarely do this with such depth.
Your own booking domain from day 1
book.your-salon.com with your logo and colours, SSL automatic. e-cut doesn't offer this, or only in a limited way. Brand trust comes from your own domain — customers book directly with you.
Modern F-500 2026 design
The EazyBooking booking page is in the Linear/Stripe style of 2026 — mobile-optimised, fast, premium. Plus a 7-language booking page. For salons in tourist regions or with international clientele, that's a conversion advantage.
Frequently asked questions
Switching from e-cut — what you need to know
Is switching from e-cut to EazyBooking worth it?
If modern online booking is becoming important to you: yes. You get mobile-first booking, native Apple calendar sync and a custom domain. If e-cut is primarily your POS and you want to keep it, you can also add EazyBooking just for booking and keep the till.
Can I run e-cut + EazyBooking in parallel?
Yes. Many keep their familiar POS (e-cut) and use EazyBooking on top for modern online booking + calendar sync. That way you get the best of both worlds without a complete switch.
Can I export customer data?
Yes, a GDPR export is mandatory. e-cut offers a data export, and EazyBooking imports it via CSV. Migration in 2-4 hours.
What if I want to keep the e-cut POS?
No problem — EazyBooking is booking-only and complements your POS. You use EazyBooking for online booking, calendar sync and reminders, while e-cut stays your till. Both in parallel.
Is the switch complicated?
No. EazyBooking setup in 30 min — services, opening hours, staff, custom domain. Cloud-based, no installation. Anyone coming from desktop software usually finds the modern web interface a relief.
Does EazyBooking work on mobile?
Yes, mobile-first. You manage appointments on your smartphone, and your customers book on mobile (76% of all bookings). Unlike desktop-bound till software, you're not tied to one machine in the salon.
