| Calendly |
Setmore offers a more generous free plan with multiple users included, while Calendly restricts teams behind paid tiers. Setmore also includes built-in payments and phone support at a lower price point, making it more accessible for service-based businesses needing full booking and payment workflows. |
| Acuity Scheduling |
Compared to Acuity, Setmore is easier to set up and more affordable for small teams. The free plan allows real client bookings, and Pro pricing remains predictable per user, whereas Acuity’s advanced features quickly push users into higher-cost plans. |
| SimplyBook.me |
Setmore provides a cleaner interface and faster onboarding than SimplyBook.me, which can feel complex. Setmore’s unlimited appointments on Pro and built-in video meetings reduce the need for paid add-ons that SimplyBook.me often requires. |
| Square Appointments |
Unlike Square Appointments, Setmore is payment-processor agnostic, supporting Stripe, PayPal, and Square equally. This flexibility helps businesses avoid lock-in while still offering comparable scheduling, reminders, and team management tools. |
| Booksy |
Setmore is significantly more affordable and transparent in pricing than Booksy. It suits a wider range of industries beyond beauty services and offers stronger desktop, calendar sync, and integration support for professional service teams. |
