Which one is for you

Pick Appointo if

  • Fits if you run a Shopify or website shop that takes appointments
  • Works for a small team of two or three

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a free plan, as it is a 14-day trial only
  • Pricey if you add staff, at $6 a month for each extra team member
  • Watch out: $12 sits beside a crossed-out $39 with no end date, and the billing basis is not shown
  • Skip it if you want a native app, as only a browser dashboard is listed

Pick LatePoint if

  • Fits if you already run a WordPress site and want booking on it
  • Works for agencies running several client sites

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you have no WordPress site, as there is no hosted version
  • Watch out: $79 is an introductory price and renewals are at a higher price the page does not state
  • Tight if you stay on the free plugin, as some features are Pro only
  • Skip it if you want a trial, as the page offers a 14-day money-back guarantee instead
  • Watch out: plans differ by number of sites, and 100 sites needs the $599 lifetime Agency plan

LatePoint

More comparisons

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
