| Pricing | Standard reported at $10 per seat/month billed annually or $12 monthly — sources conflict ($12 annual also reported); UNVERIFIED against vendor pricing page · free tier: Free plan reported with no time limit, one event type, one calendar and unlimited meetings; no payment collection or external integrations (third-party, unverified) | $12 per user/month billed monthly (Pro) · free tier: Free — $0 per user/month for up to 4 users: unlimited appointments, payments, branded Booking Page, branded mobile app, email reminders and confirmations, integrations, iOS/Android apps, team collaboration, 24/7 human support |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Freemium subscription, per user per month |
| Best for | Sales, recruiting and customer-success teams on Google or Microsoft calendars that need lead routing and round-robin out of the box at the Teams tier, plus solo professionals who can live within one free event type. | Solo practitioners and micro-teams of up to four — barbers, tutors, coaches, therapists, tradespeople, small clinics — who need customer-facing booking with payments, want to start free, and value setup speed and low per-seat cost over configurability. |
| Avoid if | You need multiple meeting types, payments or integrations while staying free; you depend on responsive human support on a small budget; you need Salesforce routing lookup or full white-labelling below a reported ~$15,000/year Enterprise commitment; or you are uncomfortable with auto-renew and a single-email cancellation pathway. | You depend on flawless two-way Google Calendar or Zoom sync, run group or multi-attendee sessions, need side-by-side multi-staff calendars, require financial or filtered service-level reporting, want conditional workflow automation, or must have published SOC 2/ISO assurance and enterprise admin controls. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
