WhatsApp is included free in your 14 day trial. After the trial it is included on Pro and Unlimited and an optional add-on at ₡4,900 a month on Essential, and your booking page keeps its WhatsApp button either way.
Fair is fair: here is what Fresha genuinely does well.
A monthly subscription with no free plan; for Costa Rica its own page currently shows prices in colones. Its marketplace new-client fee currently shows as free, and WhatsApp messages beyond a small monthly allowance are charged per message.
Where it shines
Its booking marketplace can bring you new clients who did not know you. That reach is real, though in Costa Rica the marketplace is thin.

rezervaya is built for Costa Rica: SINPE Móvil deposits straight to your account, no per-booking commission, Spanish, English and French, and local support. Fresha is strong for its client marketplace, though in Costa Rica that marketplace is thin. You can try rezervaya free, no card.
Partly. Fresha's own pricing page currently shows its Costa Rica subscription prices in colones, but its payments run on international processors, so it handles no SINPE. rezervaya takes SINPE Móvil deposits straight to your account.
Fresha is no longer free: it charges a monthly subscription, with a per team member rate once you have a team, and WhatsApp messages beyond a small monthly allowance are charged per message. Its marketplace new-client fee currently shows as free for Costa Rica. rezervaya has three monthly plans in colones, by team size, with no per-booking commission.
