Digitermin vs Fresha for Macedonian salons
Fresha is an international beauty marketplace. Digitermin is a local calendar plus a public MK registry — clients do not need to know Fresha to find you.
Fresha offers booking and marketing inside its network, often with a consumer-side fee model. Digitermin charges clear MKD prices (free plan, Premium from 1,790 MKD/mo yearly) and keeps booking on your calendar, with SMS that works with Macedonian numbers. Stay on Fresha if you need its global map. Use Digitermin if you want clients who search “hairdresser Skopje” or “masazi Radovis” in local language.

Digitermin is better for
