| Pricing | USD 15/month (Pro), or USD 132/year annually · free tier: USD 0, no card needed — one Group Poll, one Booking Page, one 1:1 and basic Sign-up Sheets; ad-supported | USD $16/month billed annually ($20/month monthly) — Starter, 1 calendar · free tier: 7-day free trial on every plan, no credit card required; no free-forever plan listed |

| Best for | Committees, boards, faculties, HR and recruiting panels, educators and volunteer coordinators who repeatedly need one time that suits 5–30 people — many of them outside the organisation — plus solo consultants who want group polling and a booking page in one USD 15/month tool. | Solo operators and small service teams — salons, coaches, trainers, tutors — that take payment at booking, need one to six calendars, SMS reminders and packages or memberships; a natural fit at the $27/month annual Standard tier, and especially strong for businesses already running a Squarespace website. |
| Avoid if | Your scheduling is purely 1:1 inbound booking, you depend on reliable automated reminders to cut no-shows, you need SSO/MFA without a USD 15k enterprise budget, you cannot show third-party branding to clients, or you hope to run a professional operation on the ad-supported free plan. | You are a healthcare practice unwilling to pay for Premium (no BAA below it), need more than 36 calendars, require API/CSS access or white-labelled branding on a lower tier, have staff spread across multiple time zones, or run your operation primarily from a phone without first stress-testing the mobile app. |

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.
