Considered Both Products
SimplyBook.me
Chose SimplyBook.me
I've used pretty much all known tools but there's something or the other missing. Some are complex to use, some are not compatible through the api, some ask for access to our internal databases and some doesn't execute it well. The main reason behind choosing SimplyBook.me was …
Chose SimplyBook.me
I work on Google Calendar when I have to schedule a call myself especially in cases where the client has asked for a call to be scheduled at their convenient time. For those cases where the clients can book appointment for themselves, I use SimplyBook.me. On Google Calendar I …
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
Almost nobody offers packages, which is why I chose them. But I regret the choice and am still searching.
Chose SimplyBook.me
This software works far better for this specific industry when placing candidates in the medical field. The reason why is client information for companies and candidates is important to provide to each party. Calendly does an okay job at this but the integration could use work. …
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 …
Thryv
Chose Thryv
I chose Thryv not just because the price was budget-friendly but because of the ease of use and ability to learn how to leverage the platform to meet my business's growing needs.
Chose Thryv
I realized Thryv could help me BUILD a customer list and that is what it will really make my website work. I am counting on Thryv to help me get to where I am going which is a money-making plus-size clothing website by using all of its features. Thryv is not a quick fix it is …
Chose Thryv
Thryv is much more robust in what it can do. It is so robust that I learn something new it can do, or it offers almost every day. There are things that the others I tried did that Thryv does not, and things that the others do better, but when push comes to shove I went with the …
Chose Thryv
Let's say use this software because it gives a lot of benefits to the company and we no other software use do not.

Chose Thryv
Thryv was more user-friendly and cost-effective for the services it provides.

User Testimonials
SimplyBook.meThryv
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Thryv is not for everyone! It all depends on the needs of the individual's business. If they are wanting to scale back on the number of tools they have to use and pay for, to accomplish their business needs and those tools include a scheduler, Social Media planning/posting tool, an email marketing tool, etc. then Thryv could be for them! If they are looking for a tool to automate some of the communications with their clients, Thryv could be a fit there, too! BUT if they are a small business, solopreneur, and need to start with the entry package BEWARE! The Premium package doesn't have the basic things that the more expensive packages do. One is a customized email signature so you can have you logo, picture, etc. in your email signature. This wasn't offered at all a year ago. I asked for it to be added. Evidently others did too because this week I got an email that they had added it BUT NOT for the Premium Package. Something that is basic that EVERYONE should have access to BUT you have to pay more! It didn't make me feel like a valued customer that's for sure.

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.

  • I await the day that Thryv can integrate with Xero.
  • Google Messages integration would be handy.
  • There have been less than a handful of days where the site crashes and I have to reload it several times to get it to work properly.

Usability

It is very easy to use and the features are great for the ones we utilize. If you have any issues at all, customer service or our sales rep is great to work with and fixes what issues I have. They are always willing to help out and to follow up to make sure you don't have any more issues.

Return on Investment
  • In around an hour or so, I have been able to solve my worries about getting paid, organizing my time, leaving me the time and energy to teach and to concentrate on promoting my business.
  • It's allowed me, in one stroke, to move forward my plans to add native-speaking language tutors to engage in follow-up courses.
