Best for appointment booking with texts
TimeTap is an appointment booking tool with reminders, client records and calendar sync, with plans starting at $22.45 a month for one staff member and one location. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and waitlists and digital paperwork need the dearer Business plan.
Who TimeTap is for
- Fits if you run a small service business that needs text reminders
- Works for teams already on Office 365 or Google Calendar
Who TimeTap is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a 14-day trial
- Pricey if you add staff or locations, as the price rises with each
- Tight if you want a waitlist, digital paperwork or automated triggers, which need Business at $40.45
- Watch out: the monthly-billing price was not readable, so the figures are the annual ones
- Watch out: SSO and tiered permissions are Enterprise only

Keep TimeTap, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of TimeTap you could make: appointment booking, class booking and forms. 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. It costs $269.40 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, class booking and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Office 365 and Google Calendar among them, and has an API.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. TimeTap’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.
