Booking pages with a real free tier

Bookafy also leads with a real free tier before a $7 plan, a newer interface next to the plainer, more dated admin screen Setmore itself admits to.

Booking pages with no cap on the free plan

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.

Unlimited bookings on the free plan

Koalendar also keeps bookings unlimited on its free plan, then starts at $6.99, one of several free-forever schedulers worth lining up beside Setmore.

A booking page that reads your calendar

YouCanBookMe reads your existing calendar to build the booking page rather than replacing it, with a free tier and a $7.20 plan.

Booking pages you pay for once

TidyCal keeps a free plan too, but its paid tier is a $29 one-time purchase by its own tagline, not a recurring fee like Setmore's paid plan.

Booking pages with intake forms

Acuity adds intake forms, packages and deposits, the exact gap Setmore's own description points to, starting at $16 with no free tier.

Booking for a business with staff

SimplyBook.me from $12 with a free tier handles services and staff for a business, deeper than free booking for a small team.

Works with Instagram, Facebook

Appointments and classes, free for three people

Picktime stays free for up to three people and adds class scheduling, not just one-on-one slots, before its $3 plan begins.

A booking page that reads your own calendar

Calendly keeps a free tier and starts at $10, with courses and coaching scheduling among its own listed categories, a wider fit than Setmore's plain appointment booking.

Booking and payments in one account

Square Appointments takes the payment in the same account, free to start and $49 for a team, which Setmore leaves to a till.
