How to choose

  1. Count the people who need their own availability. Per-seat pricing grows with every one of them.
  2. List the features you use every week, such as round robin, routing forms or payments, and check which plan each tool puts them on.
  3. Check which calendars your team and clients use. Not every tool supports both Google and Microsoft.
  4. Try two tools for a week each with real bookings before you move everything.
