# Which online booking tools have a free plan?

10 of 17 tracked booking & scheduling tools publish a genuine $0 plan: Appointlet, Cal.com, Calendly, Doodle, GReminders, Picktime, Setmore, Square Appointments, TidyCal, YouCanBookMe. Free tiers always cap something — staff seats, connected calendars, booking pages, or appointments per month — so they fit a solo professional or a pilot, and most growing front desks move to a paid tier for unlimited use, removed branding and SMS reminders.

## Related questions

### Is there a genuinely free online booking tool?

10 vendors publish an ongoing $0 plan (Appointlet, Cal.com, Calendly, Doodle, GReminders, Picktime, Setmore, Square Appointments, TidyCal, YouCanBookMe). Each caps usage — a number of users, calendars, booking pages, or monthly appointments — so a free tier is enough to evaluate the product or run a one-person calendar, not a busy multi-staff front desk.

### What's the catch with a free booking plan?

Free tiers carry vendor branding on the booking page and limit the features a growing business needs — extra staff calendars, SMS reminders, removed branding and integrations are usually gated to a paid tier. The cap is deliberately small.

### Free plan vs free trial — what's the difference?

A free plan is an ongoing $0 tier with a permanent low cap; a free trial is time-limited access to a paid plan. We record the published $0 plans here; trial lengths change often, so confirm them directly with the vendor.
