Feature has no consumer marketplace, so it won't put your business in front of strangers the way Fresha or Booksy can. You bring your clients; in return you pay one flat price and keep 100% of every booking. If marketplace discovery is your main source of new clients, a marketplace platform may suit you better— and that's a fair, honest answer.
