Considered Both Products	Setmore Robbie Lang Program Manager, College Services 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Scot Armstrong Managing Partner Chose Setmore We do not use any other scheduling products. We selected SetMore and have been very happy with the product. Incentivized Helpful? Suzy Vera, MBA Corporate Director of Human Resources 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Kris Lambert Integration Specialist 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Jose A Garcia Sales Representative 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.

Verified User Anonymous 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.

Zen Planner Ben Egbert Realtor® Chose Zen Planner I have not used any product that are similar to Zen Planner in any way. Incentivized Helpful? Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Strategist, Founder Chose Zen Planner I switched from Mindbody because their costs were adding up, and I wanted to have the ability to have the students log in to track attendance. If I wanted a certain feature, I had to upgrade, then downgrade if I wasn't using it. ZenPlanner is paid by the number of students, not … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Setmore	Zen Planner
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Robbie Lang Program Manager, College Services Read full review	I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis. Incentivized Ben Egbert Realtor® Read full review
Pros	Two Way Sync with Google Calendar Provides Stripe integration for Check Out and Pre-Pay, as needed, for scheduling. The mobile application provides anywhere access. SMS reminders are convenient for our clients. Incentivized Kris Lambert Integration Specialist Read full review	Being able to log in from a phone saves quite a bit of time If I want to see if there is an upcoming class I can check in on the app I can have multiple accounts for any company that uses Zen Planner without having to download a separate app to log in.

Cons	SetMore requires scheduling to buy a service SetMore requires a set time for each service SetMore requires an assigned resource per service Incentivized Scot Armstrong Managing Partner Read full review	The kiosk (attendance) interface seems to be lagging.

Alternatives Considered	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.

Return on Investment	ROI-- Maximizing HR's time in not having to send out repetitive emails to book time with employees. More available to employees, making an open line of communication.
