Treatwell and PEKO solve different problems. Treatwell is a booking and front-desk system. PEKO is the AI loyalty and retention layer that sits on top — predicting which guests are about to stop coming back and automating personalised win-back. This page compares them honestly so you can decide whether to run one, the other, or both.
- TL;DR
- PEKO is a loyalty layer; Treatwell stays your system of record.
- PEKO adds AI churn prediction + automated Zalo OA / email / SMS win-back that Treatwell doesn't.
- Vietnamese venues using Treatwell typically bolt PEKO on for Zalo OA and local channels.
What is Treatwell? European salon discovery and booking marketplace operating across UK, FR, DE, IT, ES and the Nordics.
Choose PEKO when
- You want an AI loyalty layer that sits on top of their bookings — not to switch your existing tool.
- You need AI to flag customers who haven't rebooked in their usual window and re-engage them automatically.
- You operate in Vietnam or Southeast Asia where Treatwell has limited local channel support (Zalo OA, Momo).
- You want a free tier and 15-minute setup, not a long procurement cycle.
Choose Treatwell when
- You don't yet have a booking system and want Treatwell's core product as your system of record.
- Your priority is online discovery and consumer-facing bookings more than retention automation.
- You're happy to run loyalty as a manual side-task inside Treatwell rather than letting AI drive it.

FAQ
Do I have to drop Treatwell to use PEKO?
No. PEKO is explicitly designed as a loyalty layer on top of tools like Treatwell. You keep their booking calendar; PEKO ingests transactions or appointments and runs the AI retention layer on top.
What does PEKO add that Treatwell doesn't?
PEKO predicts which guests are about to stop coming back within a 3-day window, writes personalised win-back messages and triggers them across Zalo OA, email and SMS. Treatwell focuses on bookings and discovery, with loyalty as a secondary feature.
Does PEKO work for Vietnamese operators who already use Treatwell?
Yes. Vietnamese venues commonly run Treatwell for bookings and add PEKO for Zalo OA win-back, Momo vouchers and AI churn prediction in Vietnamese.
