Which one is for you
Pick Setmore if
- Fits if you run a salon, clinic or studio with up to 4 staff and email reminders are enough
- Works for taking payment at booking through Square, Stripe or PayPal, which is on both plans
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your diary is in Google Calendar and you won't pay, as two-way sync is Pro only
- Tight if you stay on Free: 4 users, one email reminder, and no texts, recurring or video appointments, deposits or API
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $12 for every staff calendar, even ones with no login, against $5 on yearly billing
- Watch out: there's no Pro trial, only a 30-day refund, and Live Receptionist is $99 a month extra, US only
- Not for you if you need a waitlist, intake forms or cards on file, which aren't on its features page
Pick SuperSaaS if

- Works for rentals, classes and lessons where seats are not the point
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 50 future appointments and 50 registered users
- Pricey if bookings pile up: $48 a month for 1,500 future appointments, and more beyond
- Watch out: VAT is added for residents of the EU
- Watch out: web only, with no mobile or desktop apps listed
How we grade them
| 2.8GPASetmoreGood | 2.6GPASuperSaaSGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $5 a person a month on yearly billing, just under the $6 middle for calendar tools, and $12 if you pay monthly. It's per staff calendar, so a six-chair salon is $30 a month on yearly billing. | C$9 a month for up to 100 future appointments, above the category's $6.99 middle but not by much. Plans climb to $180 a month for 15,000. |
| Free plan and trial | BFour staff, unlimited appointments, a booking page, card payments, group classes and one email reminder, with no time limit. The caps you'd meet: 4 users, no text reminders and no two-way sync. | BFree covers 50 future appointments, 50 registered users and every feature, with no ads, which one small business could live on. |
| Features | CA booking page, payments, classes, team calendars, reminders and Book Now buttons for Instagram, Facebook and Google. The listing's own gaps show: no waitlist or intake forms, and recurring and video appointments, deposits and the API all need Pro. | BAppointments, classes, rentals, waiting lists, payments, pricing rules, calendar and meeting links, an API, webhooks and an MCP server. |
| Ease of use | B4.67 from about 9,200 App Store ratings, a shade under our bar for an A. Setmore says help runs around the clock by chat, email and phone. One reviewer says the app shows less than the website. | CNo store rating on record. It needs resources, schedules and payment rules built, and the login can be wired into a site. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, which few others in this category cover. More than 40 integrations plus Zapier, and an API on Pro only. Two-way sync with Google or Office 365 is Pro only too. | BWeb only, with Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Meet, PayPal, Stripe, Zapier and Twilio, plus an API. |
| Best for | small teams that want free online booking | booking priced by upcoming appointments |

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.
