Everything you get
Checked against your calendar
Your Google, Outlook or CalDAV calendar is checked live just before each booking is confirmed, not only from a copy that might be minutes old.
Time zones by name
Clients see times in their own zone, labelled by city (“New York time”), with your time alongside if they want it.
Payment at booking
Full payment or a deposit at booking, pay-later links with automatic reminders, refund rules you set, and an optional no-show fee.
Reminders before every session
Email, and text or WhatsApp on paid plans, with one-tap confirm, reschedule and cancel. No login needed.
When nothing fits
Send hand-picked times as one link, or let clients propose a time you approve.
Your clients, organised
Every client's sessions, payments, attendance, notes and tags in one place, with reviews you can show on your page.
Switching takes two minutes
Import your clients from a spreadsheet, set up your session types, and swap the link on your website.
Free forever plan. 14 days of Pro included, no card needed.
