One platform to run and grow your business.

Calendar, booking, payments, discovery, clients, teams, and professional AI video ads. Flat-fee pricing. No commissions.

Most providers patch together a scheduler, a payments tool, a booking link, a reminder service, and a marketing platform. Merba replaces the stack. Your calendar informs your booking flow. Your client records inform your follow-up. Your slow hours inform your promotions. Everything connects.

Why not the alternatives?

Commission marketplaces take a cut of every booking. Enterprise tools charge for features you will never use. Basic schedulers leave gaps you fill with spreadsheets. Merba replaces the stack at a flat fee.
