Chose SimplyBook.me
The interface is not as easy to navigate for administrators and students (clients). Calendly is a bit more complicated to understand and set up than SimplyBook.me and it doesn't link to social media like Instagram or Facebook, which is very useful for us. When Calendly sends …

Chose SimplyBook.me
SimplyBook offered more features and seemed more secure than the other options we explored. SimplyBook was the only software that offered options for payment, chat, easy API integration, etc. The other software was good and definitely less expensive, but we chose SimplyBook …
Chose SimplyBook.me
As they are messaging services they don't focus on the importance of keeping a well-organized schedule. most of them don't offer any type of in-depth appointment scheduling system. I would always defer back to the paid system if I need to arrange so many meetings for such a …
Chose SimplyBook.me
We really liked the ability to sell complementary products with the booking process compared to the other two products. SimplyBook.Me is the only product we've actually used and so far have been satisfied with the results.
Chose SimplyBook.me
Actually before I find SimplyBook.me I never knew of any online booking system in Taiwan, at last I found this advertisement and after using it for free for 14 days I decide to buy it. The most important reason I bought it because there is a Traditional language that can be …

Though office can offer a lot of appointment base tasks. Square appointments seem to help keep track, with a more direct approach. It helps to declutter integrations and information, that can often get missed and feel to convoluted. It's approach is more specific in handling …

I needed a solution that linked nursing, doctor, and other medical practitioners that are candidates or could be candidates for a new position, to get connected to a potential new position. The hard part was coordinating interviews and meetings between both parties for recruiters so this software enabled both parties to easily communicate times that work for them and schedule.

Cons
  • Schedule delay for beyond a day because there are times when I want to book beyond 3 or 4 days but I have to instead remember to come back before 1 day to set the reminder.
  • Confusing to pay for different features because many times I have found it unclear what features will be available to a paid user and what still will need to be paid for.
  • The interface is not easy, it takes time to adjust to things and find the options you find, navigation becomes relatively easier once you get the hang of the app.

  • Square Appointment is excellent at support! I have had several calls with them, and not one time have they dropped the ball, leaving me frustrated without a solution — not one time.
  • The community forum in Square Appointment can answer most of the questions, but if I have had real issues, I am always able to talk to a person. That is very valuable to me as a customer.
