What booking software costs
What makes up the price, what moves it most, and which costs appear only after you connect
The price has two parts: a license that depends on the size of your company and the modules you pick, and message credits spent as you go. There is no one-off implementation fee and no commission on bookings. The calculator on the pricing page works out the actual figures, because they change; what follows is what drives them.
What moves the license cost
| Factor | How it works |
|---|---|
| Number of employees or resources | The main driver. What counts is not people but whatever occupancy you track: staff, rooms, chairs, equipment |
| Number of locations or branches | Each additional branch has its own price |
| License term | A longer term costs less per month |
| Module selection | The basic version against the extended one with the modules you choose |
The first row is the one people get wrong. A resource is whatever occupancy you need to track. If a salon has three specialists working two chairs in shifts, count by how you actually run the schedule, not by how many employment contracts you hold.
What the basic version includes
The basic version is not a demo and not a trial: it carries online booking, messages and reminders, stock control, the staff app, the backoffice, cash registers and payroll. A company that needs a schedule, reminders and money tracking runs on the basic version properly.
The extended version adds what not everyone needs: online payment, memberships and certificates, discounts and promotions, group classes, rentals, surveys, granular permissions, the company app, and blocking unwanted bookings.
What sits in each version is shown on the pricing page, where it is built from the same data as the site itself.
Message credits are a separate line
This is the second half of the bill and the half people forget when comparing. Credits are spent on reminders, notifications and bulk messages, and the price per message falls as the package grows. The packages have no expiry, so unused credits do not evaporate.
The order of cost is: Telegram cheapest, email cheaper than SMS, SMS the most expensive. That is the main lever: a company that moves its clients onto Telegram pays a fraction of what one sending everything by SMS pays.
Costs that are not in the license
An honest comparison has to include what the software bill does not cover:
- The payment provider's commission, if you take payment online. That is their money, not ours.
- A fiscal service, if you need a till. Also a separate supplier.
- An SMS sender name, a one-off service.
- Your time on implementation. Not money, but the largest real cost of the first month.
How to compare with other systems
Comparing by monthly price is nearly always misleading. Reduce it to one figure:
- The annual license for your number of resources and branches.
- Plus the modules you genuinely need.
- Plus a year of messages at your real booking volume.
- Plus commission on bookings, if the system you are comparing charges it.
The fourth decides everything against a marketplace: a subscription system and a percentage-per-booking system produce different numbers at different volumes, and the crossover arrives sooner than people expect.
Common questions
Is there a free period?
Registration is free and needs no credit card, so you can see the system from the inside before paying anything.
Is there a commission on bookings?
No. Commission exists only at the payment provider, and only on the payments themselves.
What happens to the data if the license lapses?
That is a question to put to any supplier before connecting rather than after. The answer belongs in the license agreement.
Is there a discount for a chain?
Special terms apply to large chains, and they are discussed on a consultation.
