Treatwell brings you clients.Carden lets you keep the profit.
A marketplace is paid on volume: that’s how it works, and it has its uses. Carden works the other way round — a fixed subscription, your own audience, and no cut taken from what you earn.
- Carden Story, €9.90 a month
- You keep Treatwell
Two roles
Treatwell records. Carden goes looking.
Nothing stops you doing both: a marketplace to get discovered, Carden to lose none of what you already have. The difference lies in the model — a fixed subscription never gets more expensive because you fill up better.
- What Treatwell does
- A shop window on a high-traffic directory
- New clients who didn’t know you

WhatsApp usTreatwell already does last minute. Why add Carden?+
Because they don’t speak to the same people. A marketplace offers your slot to its audience, often with a discount and for a commission. Carden offers it to your followers and your neighbourhood, at the listed price, taking nothing.
Can I keep Treatwell and use Carden?+
Yes. Carden reads your availability, wherever it comes from, and changes nothing in your tools.
Will Carden take a commission on my clients?+
No. Your price comes back to you in full, on regulars and newcomers alike.
