Frequently asked
- What is the cheapest online booking software?
- Bookeo has the lowest published paid price at $14.95/mo, but 10 tools offer a $0 free tier that covers a solo professional or a small appointment volume. The cheapest option depends on staff count: per-seat tools win for one or two people, flat tools for larger teams.
- Do booking tools charge per user or a flat fee?
- Both models are common: 2 of the priced tools charge per staff seat (per user per month) and 13 charge one flat monthly fee regardless of headcount. Per-seat pricing scales with your team, so confirm how many staff calendars you need before comparing a per-user rate to a flat plan.
- Is there free online booking software?
- Yes — 10 tracked tools publish an ongoing $0 plan (Appointlet, Cal.com, Calendly, Doodle, and others). Free tiers cap users, calendars or monthly appointments, so they suit a solo professional or a test run rather than a busy multi-staff front desk.
