Best for booking rentals and resources

Planyo is a reservation system for rentals, venues and other resources, from CHF 29 a month for 3 resources. Prices are in Swiss francs and grow with each resource, and text messages cost extra.

Who Planyo is for

  • Fits if you rent out equipment, rooms or boats by the hour or day
  • Works for sites on WordPress or WooCommerce

Who Planyo is not for

  • Pricey if you have many resources, as the price rises per resource
  • Watch out: prices are in Swiss francs, even where the page shows another currency
  • Watch out: text messages cost CHF 10 per 100
  • Tight if you pick the commission plan, which needs customer-entered bookings and a CHF 29 minimum in months with a booking
  • Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a trial is offered

Keep Planyo, or make your own?

Keep it

The plain part of Planyo you could make: appointment booking, class booking and invoicing. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 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.

What you could make

  • Appointment booking, class booking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
  • A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
  • It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and Squarespace among them, and has an API.

What this rests on. Planyo’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.

What is Planyo?

Planyo is an online reservation system for businesses that rent out resources or sell places, such as rooms, boats, equipment, classes and parking. It provides an availability calendar to embed on a website, flexible pricing rules and notifications by email and SMS. Pricing is either a monthly fee by resource count or a commission on customer bookings.

Worth knowing

  • Prices are in Swiss francs; the pricing page converts to other currencies for display, but charges are in CHF.
  • The PRO price grows with the number of resources, and shared resources count as seats divided by 2.
  • The PRO-COMM commission model needs customers to make valid online bookings, and admin-entered bookings can trigger a higher minimum.
  • Text message notifications are extra, at CHF 10 per 100 messages.
