Reservio vs Trumba (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Reservio if

• Fits if you run a small salon or clinic and want client records with bookings
• Works for someone starting out with under 40 bookings a month

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 40 bookings per 30 days and 100 clients
• Pricey if you need SMS reminders, which are bought as credit bundles on every plan
• Skip it if you want to pay monthly, because plans are prepaid for 6 months, 1 year or 2 years
• Watch out: API integrations, user permissions and brand removal need Pro at $40 a month
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT

Pick Trumba if

• Fits if you run events for a campus, city or large organisation
• Works for departments that each publish their own calendar

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are a small team: every person who logs in needs a $30 seat on top of the $99.95 base
• Not for you if you need healthcare registration on Standard, which does not offer a BAA
• Watch out: paid registrations cost $1 per transaction plus 1%, on top of gateway fees
• Watch out: support beyond the first two free hours is $200 an hour
• Watch out: no free plan is listed
