Bookodile vs Altegio

Free at one location with up to two active booking spots and 40 bookings a month, every add-on included. Not a trial — a plan a small business stays on. More

A seven-day trial with every feature and no card; when it ends nothing is charged and nothing is deleted until a licence is bought. The smallest licence covers up to two team members. No plan that a business stays on for nothing is published. Source

No commission, no new-client fee, no per-booking charge. The bill is the subscription and nothing else. More

The pricing page says the price is set only by team size and licence term, with zero percent commission on appointments, no per-appointment fee and no cap on appointments. Source

Every add-on is free and included — reminders, reviews, vouchers, the waiting list, multi-location, forecasting. Nothing is sold separately. More

The subscription has no separate modules to buy, but the billing article says payment systems, SMS providers and similar third-party integrations charge for their own service, and WhatsApp notifications from Altegio's own number are paid from a topped-up balance. A mobile app under the business's own brand is quoted on request. Source

There are no plans and no tiers. Every account, including a free one, has every feature. More

The billing article says all Altegio functionality is available on every subscription, with no separate modules and no limit on clients or appointments, and the price depends only on team size and period. The one difference by size it records is priority support, included when a licence covers seven or more team members. Source

Monthly, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. Paying yearly is optional and costs ten months. More

Licences are prepaid for one, three, six or twelve months. The licence agreement says a fee already paid is not refunded when the business ends the agreement without a breach on Altegio's side, and either party may end it with seven calendar days' written notice. No cancellation fee is published. Source

Bookodile does not take your customers' money. The payment-tracking add-on records what you were paid; payment stays between you and the customer. More

Online payment through a connected payment system: prepayment in the booking widget, a payment link or QR code sent from a visit, and online sales of memberships and gift cards. Adyen, Stripe and VivaWallet each have a setup guide; Adyen's availability depends on the country and type of business. Source

bookodile.com/book/your-business, with your logo, colour, services and hours. One page per location. More

Booking links — a general one for the whole business, or one for a service category or a single team member — each open a hosted booking form that can be shared on social media or in messengers. Source

One snippet embeds the whole flow in any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-built — inline or behind a Book-now button. A QR code is generated for print. More

Five documented shapes: a standard booking button whose colour, animation and position can be changed, a custom button of your own, the booking form embedded in a page as a block, separate forms for each team member or service, and several widgets on one page. Source

A name plus an email or a phone number. No account, no app, no password. A web portal shows customers every booking they hold, if they want it. More

Signing in, with a text-message code, is for the widget's personal account, where a customer reschedules, cancels and sees loyalty balances. Booking asks for a confirmation code only if the business turns on text verification of the phone number, which needs a text-message provider or chatbot connected. Source

Combo services chain stages into one booking, and the extras you configure are offered during booking, in more than one round. Customers do not pick arbitrary pairs from the catalogue — you decide which combinations exist. More

A customer can choose several services in one online booking, but the help centre says the booking is created only if one and the same team member can perform all of them; services assigned to different team members need a service package instead. Source

Each stage of a combo can have its own team member, its own duration and its own room, booked back to back. Each person is blocked only for their own stage, never for the whole visit. Staff move the whole visit in one step, at times that fit every person in it. More

Service packages, called 4HANDS+, hold 2 to 10 services delivered simultaneously by several team members, one after another by one, or one after another by several, and a customer can book one in the widget — one package per booking, with nothing added. The settings section describes a sequence with different team members, but the calendar section says a sequential package can at the moment be provided by only one team member, and neither says whether each person is blocked only for their own stage. The article says packages are not yet available on every account. Source

Rooms, chairs and equipment with a capacity and their own hours. A service can need a resource alone, a person alone, or both, and capacity is enforced when the booking is made. More

Rooms, tables and equipment are resources attached to services, and a free instance of each is reserved automatically on every booking, so a service cannot be booked when none is left. Customers never see or book a resource directly, and a booking with a resource but no team member is not described. Source

Events with a capacity and a registration list for one-off things; a recurring class is a service on a resource with a capacity, so it fills up and stops. More

A service is set as an Appointment or a Group event, and a Group event carries a group capacity. A customer can pay for a group event online or book it with a membership, and prepayment for a group event is always the full price. Source

A service can be priced per team member, or per category such as Junior and Senior, and the customer sees which is which. More

A service carries a base price plus an individual price per team member, set from the service's settings or from the team member's Services tab, and shown in the calendar and the booking widget. Source

A service can take a different time per team member. Leave someone blank and they use the service's own duration. More

The service's duration is the default when a team member is assigned to it, and a different duration can be set for each team member. Source

A buffer after every service blocks the person and any resource it used. Enforced on the booking page and in the booking API. More

A technical break after an appointment, from 0 to 1 hour in 5-minute steps, set for every service at once or per service and capped at 1 hour across one appointment; where a booking holds several services, a setting chooses the longest break or the sum. Customers do not see it, but the times offered online allow for it. The article says technical breaks are not yet available on every account. Source

A cancellation is offered automatically to whoever has waited longest for that service, with a three-hour countdown. Confirming books them straight in. More

A waiting list for staff in the Appointment Calendar: a request records the customer, the services, preferred team members and acceptable times, and staff book it by hand when a slot frees up. The article lists what this first version does not do: customers cannot join through online booking, and nothing notifies a customer automatically when a slot opens. Source

Your team can create a repeating series from the calendar — weekly, every two weeks or monthly, up to 52 visits. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. More

A Repeat appointment tab creates a repeating series from a named template, with a frequency, a start date and time, and either a maximum number of repeats or an end date, with or without the customer. The article describes staff creating it. Source

Minimum notice, maximum advance days, slot interval, auto-confirm or approval, and a cancellation window — one set of rules per business. More

Fixed, Optimal or Dynamic slots; a booking interval from 5 minutes to 7 hours in 5-minute steps; minimum notice from 30 minutes to 24 hours; days closed to online booking; and different rules by weekday — for the whole location or for one team member. Source

Customers cancel from the confirmation email, outside your cancellation window. Rescheduling is cancel and book again; there is no one-step move. More

Customers reschedule or cancel online up to a cutoff the business sets in 15-minute steps, at most 48 hours before the visit. When a prepaid booking is cancelled, the refund is made by hand. Source

No card on file and no deposits, because Bookodile does not process payments. A no-show is recorded on the customer, not charged. More

Payment policies: a deposit paid at booking with any connected payment system, or, with Adyen only, a card linked at booking and charged only if the rules are broken. After a free cancellation window, a late cancellation or a no-show keeps the deposit or charges the fee to the card; staff can waive it where the business allows that, and a no-show left undecided at midnight is charged automatically. Source

Extras are offered while booking, per service or per category, in up to several rounds, with an optional discount for adding them. More

No add-on step is documented. A free promo block can advertise an offer on the service and team-member selection screens of the booking form, and service packages sell several services together at a package price. Source

No marketplace. Your booking page carries only your business, and no competitor is shown beside you — which also means it sends you no new customers.

Altegio states the absence as a position: its help centre says customers book through your own website, social media, maps or a personal link, and you do not compete inside someone else's catalogue. Its free customer app shows a customer only the businesses they have booked with. Source

No consumer app. Customers book in the browser, and a web portal lists every booking they hold with any Bookodile business. More

Altegio.me is a free app where customers see their bookings at businesses they have booked with, cancel, reschedule or repeat them, keep memberships and gift cards, and receive push notifications. An app under the business's own brand is offered separately. Source

English, Slovak, Czech and Vietnamese, set per business. What your customers read and what you read in the dashboard are separate settings. More

The help centre lists 23 languages for the booking widget, the mobile widget and the social-media booking apps, among them Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian and Turkish. The widget's default applies to new customers, and a signed-in customer keeps their own choice. Vietnamese is not on the list. Source

Every time is shown in the business's own zone, including on your dashboard. A customer in another zone sees both clocks before they confirm. More

Time zone is one of a location's general system settings, beside country, industry, time format and language. Source

Your logo, a second logo for dark backgrounds, a logo that links back to your own website, your brand colour with a contrast check, and a banner strip. No custom CSS and no custom domain. More

A light or dark theme, any colour for buttons and icons from a palette or a HEX value, defaulting to #060F07, with a contrast check that refuses to save a shade too faint to read, and a logo and a 16:9 image on the widget's first screen. The personal domain is a short address on altegio.me or rsrv.ws, not a domain of the business's own. No custom CSS is documented. Source

The hosted page follows the customer's device. The embedded widget stays light on purpose, so it matches the website it sits in. More

The widget's design settings offer a light and a dark theme, chosen by the business for each booking link. Source

No Reserve with Google or Instagram integration. Your booking link goes in your Google profile, your bio or a post like any link.

The booking widget connects to Google Maps, Instagram and Facebook as well as a website; the help centre's example is a customer who finds the business on Google Maps and books without going to its website or calling. Source

Day, week and month. Drag a booking to a new time or a different person, block out time, add a walk-in, filter by person or service. A visit with several services moves as one — dragged in the calendar, or from the booking dialog, which offers only the times that fit everyone in it. More

A Day view of the whole team, one position or the resources, and a Week view of one team member or resource, with zoom and a filter by visit status; online bookings are shown in their own colour, and a booking can be dragged to another team member, time or day. A month view is not described. Source

No native app. The dashboard is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen and works there. More

An Altegio Business Management app for the team, with the calendar in day, list and week modes, creating, editing and cancelling bookings, taking and splitting payments, statistics and push notifications about changes; a team member can be limited to their own bookings. Source

Any number of locations in one account, each with its own team, hours, services and booking page, and a group dashboard that totals them. More

A chain interface over several locations: team members assigned to more than one location, services and products created once and distributed, one customer record across the chain, memberships and loyalty programmes that can be valid in every location, a chain booking widget where the customer picks the location first, and chain analytics by location. Source

Owner, Manager, Employee and Receptionist ready-made, or build a role and set each permission by hand — including whether someone sees only their own bookings, customers and figures. More

Eight preset roles — System Manager, Read-only, Owner, Manager, Receptionist, Call Center, Accountant and Team member — each a set of access rights that can be narrowed or extended right by right, and copied from one team member to another. Any editing right makes a team member billable. Source

Revenue, bookings, average value and cancellation rate; twelve months charted; top services; team ranked by revenue; per location or across all. Forecasting and revenue split are included add-ons. More

Revenue, occupancy, booking sources, cancellations and no-shows, lost customers, and each team member's revenue, visit count, average bill and return rate, compared across any period and, for several locations, across the chain. Reports export for accounting or an external BI tool. Source

A monthly competition on bookings or revenue that the whole team sees, with a winner per category if you want one, results frozen and emailed on the 1st, and a Hall of fame. Revenue amounts stay hidden from the team unless you show them. An included add-on. More

Sales by team member, team workload and team performance over time are reports, each opened only by someone whose role has that permission. No ranking shown to the team itself, and no winner or competition, is described. Source

No point of sale, no stock, no payroll. A walk-in is a booking. More

Stock tracked across warehouses with suppliers, deliveries, transfers, barcode scanning and consumables written off automatically per service; products sold alongside services; and salaries calculated in the same system, with the cost of consumables taken into account. The page says inventory is included in every plan. Source

Email confirmations, reminders the day before and two hours before, cancellations and follow-ups — all included, in your business's language. Text messages are built but not switched on. More

Automatic notifications by push, text and email for more than twenty events, among them booking confirmations, reminders, changes, cancellations and review requests; by default a reminder goes by text one hour before and by email twelve hours before. Text messages need an SMS aggregator the business pays, WhatsApp runs through integrations, and push goes to the Altegio.me app. Source

No bulk email or text campaigns. An automated win-back sequence for customers who drift away, and promotions shown on the booking page, are included add-ons. More

The client list filters by visits, spend, services, team member, birthday, category and more, and a filtered list can be sent a text message or a push to the customer app in bulk. Email is not listed as a bulk channel, and text messages need an SMS aggregator connected. Source

Collect a review after each visit, publish on your booking page when you choose, reply in public or privately, and ask happy customers for a Google review in the same email. More

A review request goes out automatically once a visit is marked Arrived, 1 to 30 minutes or 1 to 24 hours later, and is skipped if the customer has already reviewed that location, team member or service; the review then shows in the booking widget when a customer is choosing a team member. No request for a Google review is documented in it. Source

Gift vouchers, discount codes, promotions and upsell discounts, all included. No packages or memberships, and vouchers are issued by you rather than sold online. More

Cashback bonuses, discounts that grow with visits or spend, every-nth-service rewards, a referral programme, and automatic discounts on online bookings, for the first booking or every one. Gift cards and memberships are set up for the whole chain and can be sold online. Source

Bookings are pushed into Google Calendar as they are made, moved or cancelled. One direction only — Google events do not block your availability — and no Outlook. More

A team member's Google Calendar is connected from their card, and their bookings are then copied to it automatically — the help centre says from Altegio to Google and not the other way around. Customer details go across unless that option is turned off. No Outlook integration is documented. Source

A consent checkbox in your own wording, invoice details that can be optional or required, and a notes field. No custom intake forms and no e-signatures. More

Custom fields on the booking and on the customer card — text, a number, a list of values or a date — which can be shown in the booking widget and made required. No consent-form template and no e-signature is documented. Source

Export bookings and customers to CSV whenever you like — the list is yours. No import tool yet, and no public API. More

Customers import from a .csv, .xls or .xlsx file of up to 12 MB, 500 rows at a time, with name and phone required, and the client list exports to Excel from the same screen. A public API is documented. Source

Email support, included, with the documentation at bookodile.com/docs behind it. No phone line. More

Onboarding with an expert — mapping how the business works, moving clients, services and visit history from the previous system, setting it up and training the team — is part of the subscription, and the pricing page says support is not billed separately and replies in under 3 minutes. No hours are published. Source
