What makes Arqueva different

Five reasons owners switch and stay.

0% commission

Every plan is a flat monthly fee. Clients book directly with you, and nothing is taken off the top.

100% customizable

Your brand color, your custom domain, your own appointment statuses, forms and permissions. Nothing is locked into a template.

Smart automation

Unassigned bookings get routed to the right staff member automatically. Reminders, thank-yous and re-activation messages go out on their own.

Features other platforms lock away

Custom appointment statuses, a loyalty engine and client segments come with the product. You don’t pay extra for them.

Built to grow revenue

Real numbers on who your best clients are, what they spend, and who is about to stop coming. You don’t have to build the spreadsheet yourself.

What your clients get: Book. Enjoy. Repeat.

A booking page that feels like your brand, reminders that show up on time, and a reason to come back. None of it needs an account.

What a booking platform takes from your studio

You spent years perfecting your craft and growing a loyal clientele. Then a booking platform puts itself between you and your clients. It takes 20 to 30% of every session and shows your clients competing artists in the same feed. Cancel your account and your booking history, client notes and reference records disappear overnight.
