Best for appointment reminders that work off your calendar
Apptoto sends reminders and confirmations by text, email and voice from your existing calendar, from $30 a month for 3 users. But the allowance is 450 message credits, and review requests and some extras cost more.
Who Apptoto is for
- Fits if you want reminders sent from Google or Outlook calendars
- Works for small offices that confirm appointments by text
Who Apptoto is not for
- Tight if you are one person: the starting plan has a minimum of 3 users
- Watch out: messages draw on 450 credits a month, and outside the US and Canada they halve
- Pricey if you add reputation management: $30 a month more
- Watch out: premium setup and HIPAA are separate fees

Keep Apptoto, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Apptoto you could make: appointment booking, review collection and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $360 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, review collection and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Outlook and Exchange among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Apptoto’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
