The report card
Best for bookings for appointments, classes or tours
Bookeo takes online bookings for appointments, classes and tours, priced by the number of staff logins and bookings. Solo is $14.95 a month, but waivers, SMS and fax credits cost extra, and bigger plans or branches are by quote.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $14.95 a month for 1 staff login and 200 bookings, under 60% of the cheapest quarter in this category ($29.99). Standard is $39.95 for 20 staff logins. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day free trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Appointment, class and tour booking, per-booking counting, digital waivers and no commission on payments. Waivers, SMS and fax credits are paid add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build your booking pages and set up services first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, and the listing names no integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Bookeo is for
- Fits if you are a solo guide or instructor who needs bookings online
- Works for small businesses that grow into a few staff logins
Who it is not for

- Watch out: plans above the listed sizes and multi-branch companies are quoted by the vendor
- Skip it if you need integrations, since none are named
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Bookeo you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 22 of the 33 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $179.40 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, class booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Bookeo’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.
