Chose BookSteam
I did not use alternatives as there is no need, BookSteam does it all.
I tried to use few other scheduling systems before but I always thought they were somewhat incomplete, something was always missing, from design point of view to missing features. For me it's always about ease of use and how everything is organized. I can say that BookSteam got …
ScheduleOnce is the only platform that offered an easy way to send text messages to clients. I appreciated the ease of adding a few questions to qualify potential clients prior to getting onto a call with them. Easy to use and the customer service experience I have received has …
Acuity is great. I really liked it but once I started using Zoom for sales consultations. I felt that ScheduleOnce did a much better job of sending a link, reminding them of their call, and following up with missed calls. Nothing against Acuity, I just felt that ScheduleOnce …
Calendly is very simple, and fine for one person. Another option, Get Omnify, does very well for brick and mortar businesses and has some advanced features, but at the time there was nothing else that was as capable as ScheduleOnce, which is why we chose it, and why the …
ScheduleOnce user interface and set up was easier than in Calendly. Also ScheduleOnce was able to connect to my iCloud calendar - most other similar applications could not do this (also better pricing for my needs).
I thought Calendly looked solid as well. Both are easy to use and are attractive visually, I found ScheduleOnce to be a bit more robust and had more features. ScheduleOnce is better for a multi-person business in my view, but I can see why a solopreneur would go with …
To schedule single contact (like a welcome or monitoring call) and highlight other services like a specific one-off webinar or recordings to watch. To provide more regular scheduling like a series of calls/classes.
For all things bookings, including meetings, sales calls, events, and client onboarding, ScheduleOnce is the dominant software hands down. For shorter forms, such as quizzes and exercises on an online course, FormOnce is the far superior sibling as it's able to accommodate all needs, size, length, and customization.
Syncing BookSteam schedule with my iPad calendar. Whenever appointments is made online, it shows up in my iCal.
Payment integration. We set it up so when clients schedule appointments online, they are required to leave a deposit, otherwise they can't book. This cuts down on clients who are not serious about showing up.
SMS reminders. Clients receive automated sms reminders which almost eliminated no shows.
I really wish I could put tracking pixels (i.e. AdWords conversion pixels) on the booking thank you pages. Having to direct to a thank you page on another platform is kind of a pain.
The Salesforce connector pricing is a bit steep.
Basic live chat capabilities would be awesome. Implementing a live chat widget alongside the ScheduleOnce widget can be a bit cluttered design wise.
