Considered Both Products
OnceHub
Chose OnceHub
Calendly is definitely the bootstrapped option. ScheduleOnce is for serious businesses looking to automate & build a sales team.
Chose OnceHub
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 …
Chose OnceHub
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 …
Chose OnceHub
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 …
Chose OnceHub
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).
Chose OnceHub
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 …
Setmore
Chose Setmore
I've used various appointment scheduler tools directly through Outlook and Google. Google calendar has an appointment slots feature that I've tried, but it wasn't the right tool for what we needed, so we ended up not using it. SetMore is the only paid appointment scheduler …
Chose Setmore
We do not use any other scheduling products. We selected SetMore and have been very happy with the product.
Chose Setmore
I have used Google calendar and Outlook calendar, but if the person you are inviting does not have those softwares, it is really redundant. Also, the aforementioned apps do not let employees book time on your calendar if they do not have an account, while SetMore easily lets …
Chose Setmore
SetMore is so much simpler while providing great features. The ease of use makes this a better product for our clients and staff without sacrificing many of the bells and whistles that others tout. The online booking pages ability to schedule without creating a login has led to …
Chose Setmore
Used those in previous jobs, however, comparing against SetMore. SetMore is more open to internal and external users that can take in place. With the others, many needed a VPN connection to use it. No capabilities for external users of the organization to access and schedule or …
Chose Setmore
I started the free version because it was free - but then upgraded once I saw it worked well. I chose this over Mind Body because of the lower cost and how easy it is to use. Also, it's one of the only similar products that you can place a widget on both Facebook and my own …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

As mentioned before, the price point of SetMore is better than many of its competitors. We pay $25/month for our whole team to use it, although I think they might be changing the price plans soon so we may have to reevaluate this factor later. I can't give it a 10 out of 10 review because we've just dealt with way too many calendar syncing errors and bugs in our time using it - and SetMore has been way too slow in actually fixing the issues. Customer service is always quick to respond in Chat, but it's a different story with how fast their developers can fix bugs and how much they choose to prioritize certain issues. For the most part, especially more recently, we've had a good experience with SetMore - and it makes appointment scheduling with our students easier. We're glad to use it and I would recommend it to others in education who support students doing 1 on 1 advising. Just except some bugs to come up now and then that may not get fixed immediately.

Cons
  • 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.

  • SetMore requires scheduling to buy a service
  • SetMore requires a set time for each service
  • SetMore requires an assigned resource per service

They would not prorate a refund - I'm just out the money for services I have not used. To me, that is the WORST POSSIBLE customer service ever.

Used those in previous jobs, however, comparing against SetMore. SetMore is more open to internal and external users that can take in place. With the others, many needed a VPN connection to use it. No capabilities for external users of the organization to access and schedule or check the availability of the internal resources. That being said, SetMore needs a facelift. It is a great tool but is getting aged. New freeware available, freemium tools for similar purposes getting out that can fill the gaps where SetMore is failing.
