Bookodile vs Setmore

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

Free forever for up to four team profiles, with the booking page, email confirmations and one email reminder. The pricing page says unlimited appointments on Free; the help centre lists unlimited appointments as something Pro unlocks. Source

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

No Setmore fee on transactions and no marketplace, so no new-client fee. Card processing is charged by the processor at its own rate. Source

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

Almost everything sits inside Pro. The exceptions are Live Receptionist at $99 a month (United States only), Setmore Health with an unpublished price, and a second location, which is a second account with its own bill. Source

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

Pro holds the second reminder, text reminders, recurring appointments, deposits, promo codes, two-way calendar sync, automated Google review requests, API access and removing the Setmore bar from your booking page. Source

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

Monthly or yearly, auto-renewing, cancel any time. Payments are stated as non-refundable apart from the 30-day guarantee, and yearly plans are not refunded pro rata after the first month. 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

Through Square, Stripe, PayPal or LawPay at the processor's rate — Setmore lists Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30 and notes rates vary by country — plus Tap to Pay, payment links and a cash register in the app. Source

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

A setmore.com subdomain with an editable slug, on every plan. It can be hidden from search or switched off. 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

An iframe embed and a Book Now button, with guides for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and others. 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

Customer sign-in is a one-time email code, Google or Facebook, and the business decides whether it is required. Saving a card for later needs a Google or Facebook sign-in. 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 'Provide multiple services' switch lets customers add several services to a cart. Booking page only, not for classes, cannot be combined with 'Skip the staff', and sends one email per service. 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

The help centre does not say whether the services in one booking can go to different team members, or how each person's time is blocked. It describes the result only as services stacked together on the calendar.

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

Nothing in the help centre or the feature pages mentions rooms, chairs or equipment as bookable resources. The only capacity constructs documented are class seats and events of up to 50 guests.

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

Classes with a set number of seats and one instructor, with sessions added per date. Bookings close when a class is full. Recurring class sessions need Pro. 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

One cost per service. The only variation documented is changing the cost for a single appointment, without changing the service. Source

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

One duration per service, with a per-appointment override. No duration per team member is documented. 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 per-service buffer added after the service, hidden from customers. 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

No waiting list appears anywhere in the help centre or on the class feature page.

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

Pro only, and created by staff from the calendar — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom, with an end date. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. Source

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

Lead time, scheduling window, cancellation notice and slot interval, set once for the whole account. Different availability per service needs Pro. 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 from their email notifications, within the cancellation policy window, and from their account when signed in. 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

Deposits on Pro — a fixed amount or a percentage, one setting for every service, not refunded automatically. Full prepayment on all plans. No automatic no-show charge is documented. Source

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

Customers are prompted to add more services, and surcharges or reductions can be shown on the booking page. No suggested add-ons per service. 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. The channels are the booking page, the website widget, Reserve with Google, Facebook, Instagram and a QR code. Source

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

The 'branded mobile app' is a progressive web app of your booking page, not a native app. There is no consumer Setmore app. 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 booking page can be set to one of 31 languages, including Czech and German. Slovak and Vietnamese are not on the list. The dashboard is English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. 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

A business time zone, plus a 'Show local time' option that converts the booking page, confirmation and reminders into the customer's zone. 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

Logo, colour, button shape, banner and a gallery. The address stays a setmore.com subdomain, the Setmore bar comes off only on Pro, and there is no custom CSS. 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

Light, dark or system theme for the booking page. Source

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, a Facebook Book Now button and an Instagram Book button, on Free and Pro. 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, week, month, team and agenda views; drag to reschedule; events as blockers; confirmed and projected income shown on the calendar. Source

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

Native iOS and Android apps and a desktop app. The cash register and quick payments are mobile only. 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

Separate accounts under one login. Appointments, staff, customers, billing and settings stay separate — only the login is shared. Pro, in early release. 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

Four fixed levels: no access, own calendar only, all calendars and customers, admin. No custom roles and no per-permission toggles. 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

Income totals on the calendar, an appointment-history export of up to three months at a time, payment history and a tax export. No team, retention or forecast reports are documented. 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

Nothing published. The help centre documents income totals, appointment history and payment history, with no team comparison, ranking or goal.

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

A cash register and quick payments in the app, plus Square Terminal. No product inventory and no payroll. 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 one email reminder on Free. A second reminder and text reminders on Pro, under a fair-use policy, with text reminders for classes limited to the US, UK, Canada and Australia. 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

No campaigns of its own. Contacts export one way to Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Klaviyo, MailerLite and others. 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 an hour after the appointment, star ratings, auto-publish or manual, and Google reviews shown on the booking page. Automated Google review requests need Pro. No reply to a review is 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

Promo codes on Pro — a percentage or a fixed amount, with an end date and a usage cap, but not limited to one service. No gift cards, packages or memberships are documented. 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 Google Calendar and Office 365 sync per team member on Pro; one-way sync with Google, Outlook, Office 365 and Apple otherwise. 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 contact fields with a required toggle, and booking-policy text. No consent forms or e-signatures are 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 export to CSV and appointments to a spreadsheet, three months at a time. CSV import of up to 1,000 contacts. An API on Pro, by request, and Zapier. Source

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

24/7 chat, email and phone on every plan, plus bookable 30-minute onboarding and migration sessions. Priority support and one-to-one setup calls on Pro. Source
