Instead of Barbs

Barbs alternatives

Barbs brings queue management, online booking, point of sale, inventory, and loyalty into one system for barbershops. Customers can join a queue and track their turn by phone, or book through a shop QR code without installing an app. Its Android POS can keep selling offline and sync later, while automatic reminders can go through WhatsApp, SMS, and email. A free plan is available, though it is limited to one barber and 15 online bookings a day; loyalty, analytics, product catalog, and inventory are excluded. Paid plans start at 79 MYR per month.

Alternatives may suit shops that need a different booking model, client discovery, or salon-focused tools. Some emphasize online reservations and payments, while others add marketplace sync, client records, staff calendars, or booking reminders. Compare those needs with Barbs’ queue and POS functions, its Android and web platforms, and its plan limits. Also consider whether an alternative’s free access, platform availability, and payment or reminder options fit the way your shop serves customers.
