Bookodile vs Boulevard

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

No free plan. The cheapest plan is Essentials, listed at $176 per location per month billed annually or $195 monthly, and shown at $140 or $156 under a limited-time promotion for new customers. Source

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

No marketplace and no cut of an ordinary booking. Two charges are per appointment: Automated Campaigns cost $2 for each completed appointment credited to a campaign message, and a checkout split across several merchant accounts carries a 1% fee on each account's share. Source

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

Forms is an add-on from $65 per location per month unless you are on Prestige or a Medspa bundle; QuickBooks sync is $45 per location per month; the AI receptionist is $125 per location per month for 200 minutes; texts beyond the plan allowance are billed on monthly tiers from $25; emails beyond it cost $0.01 each; the card reader is $149; one-time setup and data-migration fees can appear on the first invoice at amounts Boulevard does not publish. Source

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

Essentials lacks group booking, resource scheduling, offer codes and promotions, the referral and loyalty programmes, rating requests, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel tracking, multi-location support and reporting, and location-level billing — all Premier and above. Zapier, Shopify and single sign-on need Premier; the API, Klaviyo and Snowflake are Enterprise only. Source

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

The services agreement sets a 12-month initial term where the order does not specify one and renews it for further 12-month terms unless written notice of non-renewal is given at least 30 days before the term ends. Fees for the whole term remain payable if the agreement is terminated during it, payments are stated as non-refundable, and fees may change at renewal or on 30 days' notice. 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

Boulevard's own processing, 'starting at 2.65%', with per-transaction cents not published. The Duo reader at $149 is what the pricing FAQ says you buy to take payments; Apple Pay and Google Pay, tips, buy-now-pay-later at 6% + $0.30, instant payouts at an extra 1.75%, and the Offset surcharge programme sit on top. Merchant onboarding is built around a US bank account. Source

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

The product is a booking overlay that slides over your own website. A standalone booking link exists, but the help centre says to contact support to get it; deep links to a service or category can be shared and open in a new tab, and a Client Portal address serves existing customers. No self-service hosted page address is documented. 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

A business-specific script in the site's head, with buttons pointing at #book-now to open the overlay. Install guides for WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Square, Weebly and the standard Wix editor. Custom booking flows through the API are Enterprise only. 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

A new customer books without an account and is offered a password at the last step. A returning customer whose email or phone is already known is asked for that password or a verification code before confirming. A valid credit card is required for every online booking, and one Boulevard client account is shared across every Boulevard business. 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

Customers add several services to one booking. The business fixes the sequence with numbered Scheduling Order values or leaves it flexible; every service in an appointment must fall on the same day. 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

Multi-staff appointments are listed on every plan. Precision Scheduling handles two services that need different team members and limits the wait between service or staff transitions to 15 minutes; each service in the appointment is its own line with its own provider and time. Online, the customer can choose the professional only when one service is selected — with several, the system assigns them — and an add-on service must be performed by the same person as its base service. 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

Premier and above. Rooms and devices are grouped in categories and attached to a service as a second requirement, held for the whole service including processing and transition time, and hidden from the customer. A service provider must still be available; a capacity above one and a booking with no person are not documented. 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

Nothing in the help centre or on the feature pages documents a class or an event with a capacity. Boulevard's 'Group booking' is one customer booking services for several guests at the same time, which is a different thing.

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

Every service's price can be set per role or per person, with an online-bookability switch per person as well. Customer-specific prices ('Accommodations') exist too. On every plan. Source

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

Duration, processing time, finishing time and transition time can each be set per role or per person. On every plan. 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

Four timing blocks per service: duration, a processing time in which the person is free but the customer is not, a finishing time with the same person, and a transition time for clean-up in which the person is unavailable. All four can be customised per team member. 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

Customers join online (a card is required but not charged) or staff add them. A dashboard alert shows new joins, and staff are told to check the list regularly and book the customer themselves. No automatic offer of a freed slot is documented, and the online list does not take closures or requested providers into account. 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

Standing appointments are created by the business only, must be set when the appointment is first created, run to 52 occurrences at a time, and the help centre says the system does not flag conflicts when it creates them. Time blocks can recur for up to a year. Source

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

Minimum lead time and maximum advance per location, a cancellation deadline in hours, and online-bookability switches per person and per service. Slot spacing is Precision Scheduling's interval of 15, 30, 60, 120 or 240 minutes, 60 by default, and changing it means contacting support. No approval step for a request is documented. Source

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

A manage-appointment link in the confirmation and reminder emails and the Client Portal let customers reschedule or cancel outside the cancellation deadline. Self-rescheduling shows only the original provider's availability, and group appointments must be rescheduled by phone. 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

A card on file is mandatory for every online booking. Deposits are a percentage per service or per team member, card only, refunded by hand. A late-cancellation or no-show fee is a percentage or a fixed amount up to 100% of the appointment, 24 hours by default, charged when staff mark the appointment as late-cancelled or no-show. On every plan. Source

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

Add-on services are offered after the base service is chosen and must be performed by the same person. Service modifiers carry their own price and duration online, memberships and packages appear on the first page of self-booking, and a tip can be requested at booking. 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.

No consumer directory. Boulevard describes its model as direct booking through the business's own website and contrasts it with a consumer-facing marketplace. Source

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

Customers use a web Client Portal for history, forms, wallet, memberships and cancelling or rescheduling. Boulevard's app, Boulevard Professional, is for staff. Source

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

No help-centre article or feature page documents which languages the booking overlay or the Client Portal can show. Third-party listings say English; Boulevard itself says nothing either way, about English or about Slovak, Czech, Vietnamese or German.

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

Each location has a time zone that drives operations — same-day reminder texts go out from 8am location time, gift cards at 7am local time, the nightly sign-out at local midnight. How a customer in another zone sees times on the overlay is not documented. 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

Your logo and a location banner on the overlay and in emails, an email theme with 11 fonts, heading and button colours and three button shapes, and a custom cancellation-policy address. Custom CSS, a custom domain and removing Boulevard's own branding are not 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

Nothing on the site or in the help centre mentions a dark theme for the overlay or the Client Portal; a search for it returns unrelated articles. The overlay is described in accessibility terms only.

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

Reserve with Google on the Google Business Profile at no extra fee, limited to US locations and applied to every location at once, plus Facebook and Instagram Book Now buttons through Meta Business Manager. All open the standard overlay. 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

Day, 4-day, week and today views — the week view fits three team members, the 4-day view six — with staff columns and filters, click-and-drag rescheduling with a prompt to notify the customer, time blocks that recur for up to a year, colour by person or by service, and a front-desk status board. Source

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

Boulevard Professional for iOS 15.5 and Android 7 and up: calendar, booking and rescheduling, checkout, customer profiles, forms and charts, time blocks, messaging and performance figures. Boulevard describes it as complementing the dashboard rather than replacing it, so some owner functions stay on the desktop. 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

Each location is its own per-location subscription. Multi-location support and reporting, location-level billing and inter-location reporting are Premier and above; customers, gift cards and memberships work across locations. Marketed for groups of 2 to 20 locations and franchises. 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

Default groups Admin, Location Manager, Front Desk and Service Provider, plus custom groups with granular permissions across setup, staff, catalogue, customers, appointments, checkout, sales, marketing, messages and reports, set business-wide or per location. Separate staff roles control which services a person performs. 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

Two dashboards plus 29 detailed reports — appointments, service, retail, membership and package sales, staff performance with utilisation and retention, client retention, commission, gift-card balances, campaign performance, waitlist — exported as csv, xls, pdf or png, on every plan. A Snowflake data share is Enterprise only. 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

A Staff Performance report compares team members, and a permission decides whether staff see only their own data or the whole location's. In the team app each person sees a snapshot of their own metrics, with no ranking against colleagues. Source

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

A full point of sale with the Duo reader, cash drawer, receipts, split and partial payments, refunds, gift cards, tips and buy-now-pay-later; inventory with quantities, shrinkage and suppliers, with purchase orders from Premier; commissions, a time clock and QuickBooks sync at $45 per location per month. Boulevard does not support hourly pay calculation, and no payroll run is documented. 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

Email confirmations and an email reminder one to five days ahead are included, and the basic two-day text reminder with default settings is free. Any other text — a confirmation, a same-day reminder, two-way texting — needs a dedicated number and usage rates: 100, 250 or 2,500 free segments per location per month by plan, then tiers from $25 for up to 500 segments to $200 and more for 7,001 and above. 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

Text and email blasts to saved audiences within the plan allowance, then $0.01 per email and text tiers. Five Automated Campaigns — Fill Slow Days, Last-Minute Openings, Reminder to Book, Rescue Lost Clients, Birthday — cost $2 per completed appointment. Offer codes, the referral and loyalty programmes and Google or Meta tracking are Premier and above. 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

Rating requests by email or text from one hour to one week after checkout; a four- or five-star rating prompts the customer to share it to Google, Yelp or Facebook, three stars and below stay internal, and the business replies by email. Premier, Prestige and Enterprise only. Showing ratings on the booking page is not documented. 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

Gift cards, physical and digital, sold online at $25 to $500 or a custom amount and redeemable at any location; memberships with autopay and packages sold online. Promo codes ('Offers', by percentage or amount with date and time limits), loyalty points and customer referral codes are Premier and above. 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

Two-way sync with Google Calendar, iCloud and Outlook; personal events become blocks that stop online booking. Only two months of appointments sync, Google and Outlook refresh once a day, iCloud every five minutes, and recurring personal events are not supported. 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

The Forms and Charts add-on starts at $65 per location per month and is included in Prestige and the Medspa bundles: intake and consent templates, notes and treatment records, a typed or drawn signature, fields that write into the customer profile, delivery with the confirmation and reminder emails, and completion on an iPad. Photo markup and supervisor sign-off are a further add-on outside the Medspa bundles. Source

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

Client lists and audiences export to CSV with name, mobile number and email, and reports to csv, xls, pdf or png. Imports are done by the onboarding team, with one-time Import Plus or Data Migration fees at unpublished amounts. The API is Enterprise only and Zapier starts at Premier. After a termination notice, data stays available for no more than 30 days. Source

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

Help chat in the dashboard and the app — an AI agent first, then people — Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm Eastern; email answered within one business day; phone by request. An assigned onboarding specialist, training and data-migration help on every plan, with one-time Guided Setup and migration fees that can appear on the first invoice at amounts Boulevard does not publish.
