Comparing booking software costs
Choose an eligible package, compare included benefits and use your actual bill for a useful estimate. · Updated 14/10/2026
I provide the savings calculator at /savings-calculator as an editable estimate, not a promise of lower costs.
Use your own figures
I start the example at 3 team members and 300 bookings per month, with the lowest eligible package selected. You can select a different eligible package at any time.
Enter your actual team size, monthly bookings, average booking value and online-payment percentage. Adjust the competitor's subscription, seat price, commission, fixed payment fee and selected extras to match your bill. Starting prices may be estimates or quote-based.
Choose a package
Starter, Pro and Business are shown together. Only packages covering your team size and booking volume can be selected. Gym and padel require Pro or Business plus the matching add-on. Included features follow the selected package; property comparisons omit selling features and card fees.
Compare growth and benefits
The growth table changes team size only and keeps your other inputs unchanged. I show both lower and higher costs honestly. The industry comparison lists published feature differences; verify competitor details before deciding.
Payment costs
BookAppointment's displayed payment amount is its platform fee, not an all-in Stripe processing rate. Stripe processing is additional. Competitor rates may include processing, so add your actual processing costs before comparing full payment bills. Starter does not include online card checkout.
