Simple by design
For businesses that run bookings from a spreadsheet and an inbox. Set it up in minutes, use it for free, and let it handle the busywork.
- Availability
- Payments
- Confirmations
- Reminders
To keep it that simple, we left a few things out:
Courses, not credits
A multi-week course is one booking and one payment. There are no memberships or class packs.
Built around what you offer
Availability belongs to items and class times, not staff, so it isn’t made for one-on-one appointments.
Email, not text messages
Confirmations and reminders go out by email. Texts can be added with a workflow.
Straightforward pricing
A flat price, or by the hour, day, week or month. No deposits or discount codes, so checkout stays quick.
Room to grow
On the Pro plan, every new, changed or cancelled booking can start a workflow in n8n, Make or Zapier. For example:
- Send contracts and documents
- Text your customers
- Update your accounting
