| Pricing | From $31/month (Starter, tier 1 = 1 location and 250 monthly visits) · free tier: Free $0/month: 1 location, 50 visits/month, 2-way customer messages, single-location statistics, basic branding, email/push team notifications | USD $6.99 per seat/month billed annually ($9.99 per seat/month billed monthly) · free tier: Free Forever $0 — unlimited bookings, unlimited event types, unlimited scheduling links, calendar sync (Google/Outlook/iCloud) and Google Meet |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Freemium (per-seat subscription for Pro) |
| Best for | Multi-location, walk-in-heavy physical operations — retail, luxury retail, government offices, campus student services, clinics and box offices — with under about 10 locations and under 5,000 monthly visits that need waitlist and appointments unified with minimal staff training. | Solo professionals, coaches, tutors and small teams up to about nine seats who need a clean, cheap booking link tied to Google/Outlook/iCloud, especially high-volume bookers who benefit from unlimited bookings with no per-booking fee. |
| Avoid if | You want a pure calendar-link meeting scheduler, you process high visit volumes that will blow past 5,000/month into quote-only pricing, you need a deep integration ecosystem, you reconfigure services frequently mid-day, or you are a budget-constrained event organiser. | You need a broad integration ecosystem, full practice or salon management (client records, packages, POS), heavy manual admin booking entry, or documented compliance certification for regulated or enterprise procurement. |

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.
