Appointlet vs Setmore Comparison 2026
Appointlet and Setmore both give away unlimited appointments for nothing, so neither free plan is really the deciding factor. Appointlet's paid tier is $9 a member a month for reminders, branding and integrations. Setmore's Pro is cheaper at $5 a user a month billed annually and mainly buys two-way calendar sync, since reminders and even API access are already on Setmore's free plan. Mobile apps are included on Setmore, and not listed on Appointlet.

Appointlet
Booking pages with no cap on the free plan
Appointlet puts a booking page in front of your calendar and gets out of the way. The free plan books unlimited meetings, which is rarer than it sounds among scheduling tools that count them. Paying buys reminders, custom branding and the integrations, and it is charged per member rather than per booking.
Our note
Appointlet is the answer when the only thing you need is a link that books a meeting. It has been quietly doing that for years and costs nothing, which is worth more than the features it lacks.
Setmore
Free appointment booking for a small team
Setmore gives away more than most booking tools charge for: unlimited appointments, a booking page and reminders on a plan that costs nothing. Paying adds recurring bookings, two-way calendar sync and the integrations a busier calendar needs. Its own admin is plainer than the newer tools, which is either restful or dated.
Our note
Free covers unlimited appointments and a booking page, which is more than most free tiers in this category give. The $5 upgrade is mostly two-way calendar sync. The question is whether a double booking has cost you anything yet.

- Appointlet instead of Setmore
- Appointlet puts no cap on its free plan the way Setmore's own free tier is unlimited too, then adds features at $9, closest in shape to Setmore's own pricing story.
Which one should you pick
Choose Appointlet if a plain booking link in front of your calendar is the whole job. The free plan has no cap on meetings, Premium is $9 a member a month, and every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is no trial, because the free plan never expires.
Choose Setmore if double bookings are the actual problem, since that is what the $5 a user a month Pro tier mostly buys: two-way calendar sync with Google and Outlook. The free plan already includes unlimited appointments, a booking page, email reminders and API access, more than most free tiers in this category give away. Mobile apps on iOS and Android come with it too.
