Flodesk vs. Square Customers

If you have a small business and are selling services, products, etc I think Flodesk is fantastic! It's clean, has great design, is easy to use and integrate with other software, and most importantly, it makes setting up marketing funnels and getting paid a breeze!

Square is absolutely brilliant if you are just starting out and your business has both an in-person and an online component to it, as Square will solve both in-person POS and online booking/billing. Square also offers the option to create a free website for your company, though it is a very basic site, if you don't have a website yet, this is a VERY helpful option, as it takes away a huge cost. Square allowed us to be up and running in no time, taking away the need to worry about an expensive appointment-setting add-on from our current website provider (Square integrates quite nicely with our current site). Square is probably less ideal for more advanced users or companies with a need for more detailed inventory/service management. But even then, Square will more than likely be able to get the job done!

• Being able select a link within Flodesk - for instance when setting up a sign up form or waitlist and wanting it to lead directly to the sales page or checkout next.
• Improved brand kit settings where you don't have to reset the font every single time.
• Default footer settings would be amazing!

• Inability to transfer funds to bank in real time (PayPal offers this option, for a fee)
• The option to create a website on Square is very limited. We opted to integrate the Square appointment setting tool into our site, as the site Square offered was subpart.
• Google calendar integration is now a premium feature, and it used to be included!

I love Flodesk - I think it's very easy to learn/use and unlike most other email software, it's biggest benefit is being able to build sales pages, checkouts, waitlists, etc. in addition to email newsletters.

A lot easier to get your head around and fewer pieces of software are required to manage clients' projects and systems.

Have not had to use their support. I've read a help article that worked to provide the answer for that particular question but I haven't had to reach out to a live person.

I selected Flodesk because it has the most important features available of the similar products listed but is way more cost-effective and user-friendly. Plus, their designs/aesthetics are great!

A lot easier to use than Infusionsoft!!

• Flodesk has had an incredibly positive impact on my business by streamlining my email marketing, waitlists and checkouts, and therefore helped my revenue go up!

• This has allowed me to accept credit / debit transactions without having to have a monthly subscription to a service and lose money on times of no to little use, allowing me to have a broader customer range as checks are risky.
• All of my initial equipment was free and there were no startup costs so my return was immediate.
• The small fee taken out of the transaction is very much worth the ability to accept nearly all plastic transactions.
