The 9 closest of 14, each with its real monthly cost at 2 users and what it does that SimplyBook.me does not. See all 17.
Square Appointments does everything we verified about SimplyBook.me for $17.29 a month less at 2 users, $0 against $17.29. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: SimplyBook.me is built for one price for the whole team and Square Appointments is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Not for high-volume or sales use: every plan has a bookings cap and a limit on how many premium features you may switch on, SMS is a paid credit add-on, and the page lists no round robin, routing or video links.
It runs $17.29 a month at 2 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 5 of the 14 alternatives to SimplyBook.me cost less than that.
Ranked by how much of what we record for SimplyBook.me each platform also does. Square Appointments is the nearest, and it is $17.29 a month cheaper at 2 users. Nothing we verified is missing; the only gaps are features SimplyBook.me lists and Square Appointments does not, which is weaker evidence.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to SimplyBook.me. The shortlist asks 6 questions about what people book with you and how many calendars there are, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
