Keep PocketSuite, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of PocketSuite you could make: appointment booking, class booking, invoicing, forms and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 58 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $599.88 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, class booking, invoicing, forms and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- 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, Zapier, QuickBooks and Zoom among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. PocketSuite’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.
